Automated anemia detection from fundus images may benefit patients undergoing routine retinal imaging.

This article from Merck discusses the material and fabrication methods necessary for tissue engineering constructs.

Translation regulation is critical for early mammalian embryonic development1. However, previous studies had been restricted to bulk measurements2, precluding precise determination of translation regulation including allele-specific analyses. Here, to address this challenge, we developed a novel microfluidic isotachophoresis (ITP) approach, named RIBOsome profiling via ITP (Ribo-ITP), and characterized translation in single oocytes and embryos during early mouse development. We identified differential translation efficiency as a key mechanism regulating genes involved in centrosome organizatio...

Chronic wounds are a major health problem for diabetic patients and the elderly – in extreme cases, they can even lead to amputation. Using electric stimulation, researchers have developed a method that speeds up the healing process, making wounds heal three times faster.

This Biotech Brief discusses the significance of cytokine storms and methods and justifications for monitoring inflammatory mediators to prevent poor clinical outcomes, choose appropriate interventions, and reduce mortality. Pathogens, autoimmune and malignant diseases, genetic disorders, and some therapeutic interventions can lead to life-threatening systemic inflammatory syndromes—cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or cytokine storm (CS)—that are characterized by is a massive release of cytokines due to excessive activation of immune cells.
