Machine Learning for Bioinformatics and Neuroimaging
Machine Learning (ML) is a well‐known paradigm that refers to the ability of systems to learn a specific task from the data and aims to develop computer algorithms that improve with experience.
Gene Therapy: Virus-like Delivery System Takes the Heat out of Melanoma
Targeted viral-based gene therapies come with their own risks. A new gene delivery system mimics viral therapies to infect cancer cells with vesicular stomatitis virus matrix protein, with a similar transfection efficiency as the virus itself.
Increase Therapeutic Outcomes
Decellularized ECM hydrogels as a delivery platform for extracellular vesicles and microRNAs.
Assembly Required: A User-Friendly Approach to Paperfluidic Point-of-Care Devices
A team of researchers construct a library of pre-fabricated, reusable paperfluidic blocks for point-of-care diagnostic devices.
New Ultra‐Low‐Cost Smartphone Sensor To Diagnose Autoimmune Disease
American researchers designed a smartphone octo‐channel optosensor (SOS) for low‐cost low‐volume lab tests as a mHealth diagnostic tool.
Get Your Sunglasses Out: UV-Radiation and Eye Health
A German team of scientists published an overview on all the most recent knowledge on the role of the ultraviolet radiation in eye health and its aging process.
Acoustic Selection: Non-Invasive Liquid Biopsies
A recent paper describes improvements to a system that isolates circulating tumor cells from healthy cells in the blood using acoustic waves.
Syringe-Free: Oral Vaccine against Helicobacter pylori
To fight antibiotic-resistant pathogens, and to ensure wide-spread application and high compliance, oral vaccinations are desirable, but pose drug delivery complications. An efficient nanoparticle system for vaccination against stomach ulcer causing Helicobacter pylori was recently reported.
Chemically Engineered Fusion Proteins beyond Nature’s Machinery
Bioactive entities are combined into structurally ordered multidomain protein complexes to mitigate selective targeting of a hallmark protein molecule in cancer diseases.
