A team has developed human retinas in the lab with the purpose of using it to replace specific types of cells that are affected by the genetic eye diseases. This new finding is expected to speed up the development of latest therapies. The Institute for Molecular and Clinical Ophthalmology Basel (IOB) researchers along with their colleagues from the Novartis Institutes for BioMedical Research developed retina that is important for capturing and managing the visual information. In the human body
The University of Leeds researchers have recently created a new and rapid method for diagnosing diseases in patients. The researchers developed a system that keenly monitors every molecule in an individual to identify the presence of any kind of abnormality or disease in blood. By molecules, the researcher mean biomarkers, which are present in billions in the blood and specific diseases are found to have particular biomarkers spiked up. The new system has already proved positive in detecting a
A team from the University of Valencia (UV) has developed a new system using colorimetric sensors to predict the presence of -hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) in a beverage through any change in color. GHB is little salty, odorless, and colorless compound that is known to override the will of a person when consumed. The team has already patented their new finding as it is a new and safe method in detecting the substance in any soft drink and alcoholic beverage. As GHB is an easily available molecule,
The fungal infection in plants and humans is likely to have a new breakthrough as the knowledge over fungis drug resistance is only deepening. Earlier it was thought that mutations in a fungis DNA is the primary cause for the development of antifungal drug resistance in them. However, the recent diagnostic tools are now being used to sequence and identify which mutations in fungis DNA triggers drug resistance. The researchers from the University of Edinburgh have lately found that fungi develo
Aigenpulse is a life science and data technology innovator that has recently launched CytoML Experiment Suite, an automated, end-to-end, machine learning technology to help streamline and automate cytometry analysis at scale and also to replace manual gating processes. This new solution will let people believe all the cytometry data obtained from any organization. The flow cytometry data lifecycle will be completely automated using CytoML. The new next-generation technology will provide better
A team of Indiana researchers has developed a new temperature scanning sensor device and software to help lower the increasing spread of the coronavirus. Recently, the sensor agnostic thermal imaging system of the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center has been found to be licensed to Greene County General Hospital to help easily detect the feverish health staff and other people entering the hospital. However, the latest technologies ability to detect temperature changes in a crowd that too from a
Since decades people across the globe used breadfruit in various delicacies owing to its highly nutritious nature. Recently, a group of researchers from British Columbia decided to study the fruit in detail in order to gain more knowledge over its nutritional content. Breadfruit is generally grown in abundance in tropical and South Pacific countries and it has thus turned into a staple food item for the people living there. The fruit is eaten when ripe or dried grounded into flour for further
Now is the time that people change their attitude toward the use of cannabis products as medicinal commodity with wider applications such as in helping alleviate patients pain. Many people across the globe are turning self-caring with illegal cannabis-based products for various medicinal applications. It is the primary reason that many of the pharmacies have not legalized or embraced the use of cannabis-based products yet. Looking at the surging need for pain relievers, the UK government legal
Latest hearing aid is not only ultra-affordable and accessible but also made from open-source electronics. The researchers are striving toward making this new device on the global platform. The team from the Georgia Institute of Technology has already published their study in the journal PLOS ONE. The new finding basically focuses on helping people with hearing loss, especially the age-related hearing loss. The older generation living in the underdeveloped or developing countries generally do
A new nanodevice that is exactly similar to that of a brain cell has been created by the scientists from Texas AM University, Hewlett Packard Labs, and Stanford University. The formation of intricate networks by connecting these synthetic brain cells is anticipated to help many brain-related problems. It is for the first time that mimicking the neurons using a single nanoscale device instead of hundred transistors has been made possible. Furthermore, the networks of these artificial neurons ha
