- Bioengineering of human physiologically relevant microfluidic blood-cerebrospina... Lab Chip, 2023, Accepted ManuscriptDOI: 10.1039/D3LC00131H, PaperYing Zhou, Haowen Qiao, Fang Xu, Wen Zhao, Jibo Wang, Longjun Gu, Pu Chen, Mian PengThe human blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (hBCSFB) plays a crucial role in regulating brain interstitial fluid homeostasis, and disruption of the hBCSFB is associated with various neurological diseases. Generation of...
- Bioengineering, Vol. 10, Pages 618: Quantification of the Monomer Compositions o... With the growing interest in bioplastics, there is an urgent need to develop rapid analysis methods linked to production technology development. This study focused on the production of a commercially non-available homopolymer, poly(3-hydroxyvalerate) (P(3HV)), and a commercially available copolymer, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (P(3HB-co-3HV)), through fermentation using two different bacterial strains. The bacteria...
- Treating children with blast injuries with prosthetic innovations Imperial College London opens its first-ever centre designing prosthetic innovations for child blast injuries occurring in conflict zones. The post Treating children with blast injuries with prosthetic innovations appeared first on Open Access Government....
- Self-healing mycelium leather shown to be possible New bioengineering research has shown the potential of using mycelium, the root-like structure of branching hyphae found in soil and rotting tree trunks that is part of the fungus family, as an as an engineered living material (ELM) that can self-repair. A new mycelium-based ELM was established for the first time, and its...
- Engineers design sutures that can deliver drugs or sense inflammation The bioderived “smart sutures” could help patients heal after bowel resection or other types of surgery....
- Resurrection of plant disease resistance proteins via helper NLR bioengineering... A helper NLR is bioengineered to evade inhibition by a parasite effector....
- Ingestible “electroceutical” capsule stimulates hunger-regulating hormone The device, which uses electricity to boost hormone production in the stomach, could help to ease nausea and counteract appetite loss....
- AI system can generate novel proteins that meet structural design targets These tunable proteins could be used to create new materials with specific mechanical properties, like toughness or flexibility....
- A New Mechanism for Crossing the Blood–Brain Barrier The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a stringent, nearly impenetrable layer of cells that guards the brain, protecting the vital organ from hazards in the bloodstream such as toxins or bacteria and allowing only a very limited set of small molecules, such as nutrients, to pass through. This layer of protection,...
- Caltech Outreach Captivates Crowds at City of STEM and Los Angeles Maker Faire As a throng of children and adults crowded close for a better view, Caltech graduate student Arian Jadbabaie doused a ceramic puck in liquid nitrogen and released it above a flexible strip of magnets—where it began to levitate.Then, with a showman's flair, he lifted the magnet strip and flipped it...
- AC Electric Field Controlled Multi-component Droplet Coalescence at Microscale Lab Chip, 2023, Accepted ManuscriptDOI: 10.1039/D3LC00086A, PaperWeidong Fang, Zhi Tao, Haiwang Li, Shuai Yin, Tiantong Xu, Yi Huang, Teck Neng WongDroplet coalescence with fast response, highly controllability and monodispersity have been widely investigated in industrial production and bioengineering. Especially for droplets with multi-components, programmable manipulation of such droplets is crucial...The...
