At the University of California Santa Cruz, biomolecular engineer Andy Yeh has developed a luminescent biosensor that detects cortisol—the body’s primary stress hormone—with unprecedented sensitivity and dynamic range. Cortisol regulates blood pressure, metabolism, and immune response, and imbalances are linked
Smartphone-Readable Biosensor Measures Cortisol with High Sensitivity Read More »
Researchers at Chiba University have developed a microfluidic device that uses nanoimprinted microcone arrays to detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood with high sensitivity and efficiency. CTCs are cancer cells that break away from primary tumors and travel through
Microcone Device Captures Cancer Cells from Blood with 90% Efficiency Read More »
Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a multi-region brain organoid (MRBO) that integrates cerebral, midbrain, hindbrain, and vascular tissues. Unlike traditional organoids that model isolated brain regions, the MRBO mimics a 40-day-old fetal brain and exhibits coordinated electrical activity across regions.

Columbia University engineers have created an injectable hydrogel using extracellular vesicles (EVs) extracted from yogurt. EVs are nanoscale particles secreted by cells that carry proteins, RNA, and other bioactive molecules. In this study, EVs serve a dual purpose: they act
An international team led by the University of Melbourne has developed a non-invasive online test that detects latent toxoplasmosis infection by analyzing subtle changes in reaction time. The test is especially effective in individuals with RhD-negative blood types, where infection
Online Reaction Test Detects Toxoplasmosis Without Blood Read More »
Researchers at Northeastern University have developed a novel photoimmunotherapy technique that uses near-infrared light to activate a drug bound to an antibody targeting melanotransferrin (MTf), a protein found in melanoma and triple-negative breast cancer. These cancers are notoriously resistant to
