Mashup Score: 2
The first protein-based nano-computing agent that functions as a circuit has been created by Penn State researchers. The milestone puts them one step closer to developing next-generation cell-based therapies to treat diseases like diabetes and cancer. Traditional synthetic biology approaches for cell-based therapies, such as ones that destroy cancer cells or encourage tissue regeneration after…

Mashup Score: 0Wearable skin patch monitors hemoglobin in deep tissues - 1 year(s) ago
A team of engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed an electronic patch that can monitor biomolecules in deep tissues, including hemoglobin. This gives medical professionals unprecedented access to crucial information that could help spot life-threatening conditions such as malignant tumors, organ dysfunction, cerebral or gut hemorrhages and more. “The amount and location…

Mashup Score: 5
Nature uses 20 canonical amino acids as building blocks to make proteins, combining their sequences to create complex molecules that perform biological functions. But what happens with the sequences not selected by nature? And what possibilities lie in constructing entirely new sequences to make novel, or de novo, proteins bearing little resemblance to anything in nature? That’s the terrain…

Mashup Score: 1Nanoscale 3D printing material could offer better structural protection for microelectronics - 1 year(s) ago
Science fiction envisions rapid 3D printing processes that can quickly create new objects out of any number of materials. But in reality, 3D printing is still limited in the properties and types of materials that are available for use, especially when printing at very small scales. Researchers at Stanford have developed a new material for printing at the nanoscale – creating structures that are…

Mashup Score: 0An ionic forcefield for nanoparticles - 3 year(s) ago
Nanoparticles are promising drug delivery tools, offering the ability to administer drugs directly to a specific part of the body and avoid the awful side effects so often seen with chemotherapeutics. But there’s a problem. Nanoparticles struggle to get past the immune system’s first line of defense: proteins in the bl
