flotillin => membrane fluidity control protein In order to implement these properties, different types of proteins are active in cells, including the so-called flotillins. These proteins are present in cells from bacteria to humans. Until now, scientists assumed that these flotillins mainly help in the formation of other functional protein complexes and confine highly ordered areas of the cell membrane. researchers were able to show that flo..
장수와 철분의 관계 The international study using genetic data from more than a million people suggests that maintaining healthy levels of iron in the blood could be a key to ageing better and living longer. The team pinpointed ten regions of the genome linked to long lifespan, healthspan and longevity. They also found that gene sets linked to iron were overrepresented in their analysis of all three measures of age..
breast cancer metastasis 연구를 위한 microfluidic device "But when cancer metastasizes, cancer cells move through the body, making the disease difficult to treat. We decided to apply our expertise in microfluidics to develop a new tool to aid in studying how cancer cells begin to invade into surrounding tissues in the first steps in metastasis." Normally metastasis is studied in a petri dish cell culture or in whole animals. However, these model syste..
latex 3D printing The researchers chemically modified liquid latexes to make them printable and built a custom 3-D printer with an embedded computer vision system to print accurate, high-resolution features of this high-performance material.Scott ran into a fundamental challenge: liquid latex is extremely fragile and difficult for chemists to alter. "Latexes are in a state of Zen," "If you add anything to it, it'..
nano particle capturing by nano gap device A Korean research team has developed a technology that enables the effective control of fine particulate matter and nanoplastics, which are major causes of human toxicity and ecosystem disturbances. This technology, which allows for real-time sorting, purification, and concentration of nanoparticles invisible to the human eye has great potential application, not only for the removal of toxic par..
두려움과 기억의 관계 Most people can remember where they were on 9/11, or what the weather was like on the day their first child was born. Memories about world events on Sept 10, or lunch last Tuesday, have long been erased. Why are memories attached to emotions so strong? "It makes sense we don't remember everything,""We have limited brain power. We only need to remember what's important for our future wellbeing." ..
연필과 종이로 바이오 센서 만들기 ** Zheng Yan, an assistant professor in the College of Engineering, said many existing commercial on-skin biomedical devices often contain two major components—a biomedical tracking component and a surrounding flexible material, such as plastic, to provide a supportive structure for the component to maintain an on-skin connection with a person's body. Since its invention, pencils—made of lead inclu..
조헌병의 EEG pattern People with schizophrenia and their healthy siblings share patterns of brain activity that are different from those seen in individuals with no family history of the disorder, scientists from EPFL have found. Because the siblings do not show schizophrenia symptoms, this brain 'signature' could serve as a marker for the early diagnosis of the disorder. The findings, published in Nature Communicat..
