MIT engineers found a way to engineer and control the growth of blood vessels by mechanically stretching them. The technology could advance efforts to replace a patient’s damaged or diseased tissue with a healthy, artificially grown version.

A research team has proposed a new framework for understanding how traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) works at the tissue level by using artificial intelligence (AI), single-cell omics, and spatial omics to decode “cell niches”—local microenvironments where multiple cell types interact. 

An research article published in Nano Research provides a comprehensive review of the latest advancements in ADCs, particularly distinguishing different structural subclasses and linking structural types with asymmetric catalytic mechanisms. It discusses the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the high-throughput screening, performance prediction, and elucidation of catalytic mechanisms of ADCs. The review also highlights the intrinsic logical advancements in characterization techniques and the applications of ADCs in key electrocatalytic reactions, such as the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and carbon dioxide reduction reaction (CO2RR).

Helpful microbes that combat harmful pathogens could be the answer to rising antimicrobial resistance - particularly within built environments such as hospitals, homes and schools.

That’s according to a fascinating new review that discusses the ongoing threat of antimicrobial resistant infections and why current prevention and treatment methods fall short.
