MONITORING / Researchers have managed to build a “living” computer from tens of thousands of mouse brain cells. The process of building the computer is similar to that used to create brain organoids, also known as mini-brains, which are clusters of neurons used as simple information processors, as well as to study intelligence herself. Capable … Read more
About the episode Mosquitoes can transmit all kinds of nasty diseases. Everyone knows malaria, but the family of our own house-garden-and-kitchen mosquito can also give us West Nile virus, African horse sickness, Rift Valley fever and encephalitis. Mosquitoes also have their own important place in ecosystems, but if we had more control over some populations, … Read more

In the human body, there are red blood cells that have a very important function and role to maintain organ function. Red blood cells or erythrocytes it works by binding oxygen from the lungs that comes from breathing and then being distributed to all tissues of the human body. In erythrocytes contained hemoglobin (Hb) which … Read more
ENGINEERINGNET.BE – When a virus invades, so-called first responders let other cells in their environment know that they are infected. These first responders are the first to produce signaling proteins known as type I interferons, or IFN-Is. This kickstarts the production of IFN-Is in other cells, including immune cells. “That creates a kind of domino … Read more

Photo: Yale University The work can increase understanding of potential genetic targets for drug treatment and contribute to more individually tailored treatments. – In the future, we will be able to use this technology to truly understand how cancer-promoting and cancer-inhibiting genes are regulated by epigenetic mechanisms in each individual patient. … Read more
summary: Researchers have developed more powerful and energy-efficient memristors that, based on the structure of the human brain, combine data storage and processing. The new technology, made from halogenated perovskite nanocrystals, is not yet ready for use because it is difficult to integrate with existing computer chips, but has the potential for parallel processing of … Read more
How does the body react when inhaling nanoparticles? Scientists have studied the evolution of molybdenum disulfide nanosheets in mouse lungs up to one month after inhalation. Published in the journal Advanced Materialsthis work shows that pulmonary macrophages can transform these nanoparticles and roll them up in order to reduce their surface of contact, and therefore … Read more
It started as an indescribable, incomprehensible fatigue. Every night Robert Brink came home from work, he had to go to bed. He couldn’t bear anything else. Then he got a sore throat. Very painful. Strep throat was the first diagnosis, with penicillin treatment as a result. The pain went away, but came back. Soon he … Read more
