Scientists Develop

• Investigadores del MIT descubrieron que la chaotic laser light puede autoorganizarse en un 'pencil beam' altamente enfocado bajo condiciones precisas, lo que permite una rápida 3D imaging de la blood-brain barrier. • El nuevo método captura imágenes a velocidades 25 veces superiores a las técnicas actuales y rastrea el movimiento de fármacos hacia las células cerebrales en tiempo real. • Este avance podría acelerar los tratamientos para enfermedades neurológicas al permitir una observación de alta precisión de la absorción de proteínas en las células.

Oxford team’s technology picked up danger signs with 86% accuracy in study of 72,000 patients in EnglandOxford scientists have developed a simple AI tool that can predict the risk of heart failure five years before it develops.More than 60 million people worldwide have the condition in which the heart cannot pump blood around the body as well as it should. Spotting cases before they develop into heart failure would be a big step forward, experts say. Doctors could prepare better for and manage the condition at an earlier stage or even prevent it entirely. Continue reading...

Bread and biscuits made from Crispr-edited wheat showed substantially reduced acrylamide levels, even after toastingGene-edited wheat which can make bread less carcinogenic when toasted has been successfully developed by scientists.Researchers at Rothamsted Research in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, used Crispr genome editing which allows researchers to selectively edit the DNA of living organisms. This revolutionary technology was adapted for use in the laboratory from naturally occurring genome editing systems found in bacteria. Continue reading...
