2D 물질을 이용한 도파민 센서 A supersensitive dopamine detector can help in the early diagnosis of several disorders that result in too much or too little dopamine Dopamine is an important neurotransmitter that can be used to diagnose disorders such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. Their work shows that by adding a small amount of manganese to a two-dimensional layered material called molybdenu..
personalized treatment를 위한 smart watch-drug concentration sensor Engineers at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and their colleagues at Stanford School of Medicine have demonstrated that drug levels inside the body can be tracked in real time using a custom smartwatch that analyzes the chemicals found in sweat. In general, medications are prescribed with a 'one-size-fits-all' approach—drugs are designed and prescribed based on statistical averages of the..
cell membrane capacitance 를 이용하여 암세포 감지하기 Separation and characterization of cancer cells are essential for early diagnosis of peritoneal metastasis. However, due to the low content of cancer cells in patients' peritoneal lavages, traditional detection methods lack sensitivity and cannot satisfy clinical demand. jointly proposed an optically induced electrokinetics (OEK) microfluidic method for label-free separation and characterization..
A new way to deliver drug by pressure. applying 'temporal pressure' to the skin of mice can create a new way to deliver drugs. In a paper published in Science Advances, the researchers showed that bringing together two magnets so that they pinch and apply pressure to a fold of skin, led to short term changes in the skin barrier and specifically the formation of "micropores" underneath its surface. In tests, they showed that these mic..
hydrogel-solid bonding A University of Sydney team of biomedical engineers has developed a plasma technology to robustly attach hydrogels—a jelly-like substance which is structurally similar to soft tissue in the human body—to polymeric materials, allowing manufactured devices to better interact with surrounding tissue. successfully combined hydrogels including those made from silk with Teflon and polystyrene polymers..
drawn on skin sensor has developed a new form of electronics known as "drawn-on-skin electronics," allowing multifunctional sensors and circuits to be drawn on the skin with an ink pen. The advance, the researchers report in Nature Communications, allows for the collection of more precise, motion artifact-free health data, solving the long-standing problem of collecting precise biological data through a wearable dev..
neurotransmitter lipid를 이용하여 BBB 통과하기 Biomedical engineers at the Tufts University School of Engineering have developed tiny lipid-based nanoparticles that incorporate neurotranmitters to help carry drugs, large molecules, and even gene editing proteins across the blood-brain barrier and into the brain in mice. We can deliver a wide range of molecules by packaging them into the lipid-based nanonparticles without chemically modifying..
saliva based COVID-19 detection The test, described in a preprint manuscript posted Friday on the online archive MedRxiv.org, is designed for widespread screening to help identify asymptomatic individuals. Research shows people infected with the virus but with no obvious symptoms make up as many as 70% of cases and can still spread disease. In this new test, a user spits in a tube, adds a solution to stabilize it then closes t..
