Plant-root casts could find use in lab-grown organs and more
Posted by ArielTechGeek 157 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Even if you don't know what 3D microfluidic networks are, that doesn't change the fact that they have some very valuable possible uses. Scientists have now devised a much easier method of making the things, by taking casts of plant roots.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Kyushu University, Microfluidic, Glass, Plants, Biomimicry
Plant-animal hybrid cells make solar-powered tissues, organs or meat
Posted by ArielTechGeek 182 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from sunlight like plants. The breakthrough could have major benefits for growing organs and tissues for transplant, or lab-grown meat.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Cells, Animals, Plants, Photosynthesis, University of Tokyo, Artificial organs, Lab grown meat, Hybrid
Biomarkers enable detection of rapidly aging organs & disease risk
Posted by ArielTechGeek 511 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have used a machine-learning model to analyze blood proteins to estimate the biological, as opposed to the chronological, age of bodily organs. It’s a way of predicting an apparently healthy person’s risk of developing conditions like heart failure, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes that may lead to earlier treatment.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Aging, Disease, Biom
