Chinese bioengineers have developed a tool called smACGmax, which can simultaneously replace three types of nucleotides in DNA to accelerate the process of directed genome evolution. This technology enables the creation of cells with new beneficial properties and speeds up the development of medicines.
A new study has shown that aerial battles between male dragonflies resemble fighter jet maneuvers: they strive to gain advantageous positions, avoid collisions, and perform complex aerobatic moves. Interestingly, their behavior is guided by simple navigational rules rather than intelligence.
Engineers at MIT have developed a method for introducing liver cells encapsulated in protective gel particles, enabling the formation of mini-organs directly inside the body. This technology could reduce the need for liver transplants and provide support for patients with chronic liver failure.
Scientists have developed a biodegradable implant that restores the connection between the heart and brain after surgery, preventing scarring and preserving organ function. This technology has the potential to significantly improve patient recovery following cardiac surgery.
