NewsScientists developing microchips with brain and lung tissue to study viral neuroinflammation
Researchers will use tissue-on-chip technology to understand and treat neurological symptoms such as brain fog associated with respiratory diseases like influenza.
-
NewsAI able to identify drug-resistant typhoid-like infection from microscopy images in matter of hours
Artificial intelligence (AI) could be used to identify drug resistant infections, significantly reducing the time taken for a correct diagnosis, researchers have shown. An algorithm can be trained to identify drug-resistant bacteria correctly from microscopy images alone.

NewsVaccine approach offers promise to induce longer-lasting protective immunity against COVID-19
A scientific team has engineered a COVID-19 vaccine that induced – in pre-clinical models – very long-lasting, protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 virus with a single-shot immunisation.
-
NewsScientists invent ‘living bioelectronics’ that can sense and heal skin
Scientists have created a prototype for ’living bioelectronics’: a combination of living cells, gel, and electronics that can integrate with living tissue. The patches are made of sensors, bacterial cells, and a gel made from starch and gelatin.
