Around half of the human genome is composed of DNA fragments originating from ancient viruses. These “transposable elements” (TEs) are now known to play various roles in modulating gene expression…
New study details how large-scale, cost-effective use of high-temperature superconducting wire is another step closer to reality. Our energy future may depend on high-temperature superconducting (HTS) wires. This technology’s ability…
New printing method creates branching vessels in heart tissue that replicate the structure of human vasculature in vitro. Growing functional human organs outside the body is a long-sought “holy grail”…
Findings can be used to accelerate the creation of female stem cell lines in mice and boost efforts in medical research, drug testing, and regenerative therapies. Researchers at the Centre…
Researchers have developed an inexpensive bandage that uses an electric field to promote healing in chronic wounds. In animal testing, wounds that were treated with these electric bandages healed 30%…
Device uses sound waves to gather blood pressure data from blood vessels, monitoring the response with ultrasound. Solving a decades-old problem, a multidisciplinary team of Caltech researchers has figured out…
