• MITの研究者は、特定の条件下でカオスレーザー光が高度に集中した「ペンシルビーム」に自己組織化することを発見し、これにより血液脳関門の迅速な3Dイメージングが可能になった。 • この新手法は、現在の技術よりも25倍速い速度でイメージングを行い、脳細胞への薬剤の移動をリアルタイムで追跡できる。 • この画期的な成果により、細胞内でのタンパク質吸収を高精度に観察できるようになり、神経疾患の治療法開発が加速する可能性がある。

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...

• Researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York, along with colleagues at the University of Virginia, published a study in Science Advances mapping innovation landscapes to identify disruptive studies and patents that challenge existing scientific paradigms. • The method, developed by Sadamori Kojaku and colleagues, helps pinpoint discoveries that reshape the course of science, such as the theory of evolution, atomic splitting, and antibiotic development. • The robust measure of disruptiveness provides a systematic way to identify simultaneous breakthroughs across scientific fields and could accelerate recognition of transformative research.
