  3. HOBIT is a fully integrated, wireless implantable device that houses engineered, drug-producing cells and sustains them by actively generating local oxygen. It solves the critical challenge of keeping dense clusters of therapeutic cells alive in poorly oxygenated areas of the body, such as under the skin.

  10. 🚀 €2.5M to turn Nanotech into Hope for Epilepsy Patients.

    I am thrilled to announce that www.clustrel.eu project will be funded by EISMEA!

    We are developing a smart therapeutic management platform to provide relief for patients suffering from drug-resistant epilepsy.

    I am honored to lead a Dream Team of world-class scientists, clinicians, and entrepreneurs.

  22. Before #cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their #chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of #genetic material. Until now, scientists had believed that as division occurs, the #genome loses the distinctive 3D internal structure that it typically forms.

  23. Acute #leukemia is an aggressive blood #cancer that requires accurate diagnosis to guide treatment. Current diagnostic methods, which rely on a combination of molecular and cytogenetic tests, often take days or even weeks to complete. #MARLIN, however, can provide results in as little as two hours.

  26. A synthetic protein-level neural network in mammalian cells

    Bringing neural networks to life
    A synthetic protein-based winner-take-all neural network controls cell fate decisions
    science.org/doi/10.1126/scienc

    Chen et al. describe a protein-level synthetic circuit framework that implements a “winner-take-all” neural network capable of classifying the relative abundance of multiple inputs to modify the circuit output. This network replicates various classification circuits by adjusting the relative concentrations of a few components. By connecting this circuit to molecular pathways that regulate apoptosis, the authors demonstrate the promise of this approach for programming cell fate outcomes. This could be extended to design complex neural circuits that augment the computational capacity of cells.

  27. Zavaleta said that to achieve a successful #resection, the #surgeon must cut the #cancerous tissue while keeping it encapsulated in an unbroken layer of regular healthy tissue. If that encapsulation is incomplete or broken, it could mean that parts of the #tumor remain inside the patient.
