Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to grow specialized blood vessel cells critical to retinal health for the first time.

Researchers developed a simple and cost-effective way to protect environmental monitoring equipment from wildfire damage. The redesigned data cabinets will keep electronics below their failure temperature during wildfires, helping maintain critical environmental data collection.

POSTECH and Incheon National University develop mussel adhesive protein to achieve “sustained immunity,” offering a technology that could ease the burden of repeat vaccination.

A review by researchers from the Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University, ShanghaiTech University, and collaborators outlines recent progress in ocular gene therapy, covering molecular tools, delivery platforms, and disease applications. The article highlights that successful clinical translation will depend not only on the ability to edit or regulate genes, but also on matching the right therapeutic strategy, vector system, delivery route, and disease mechanism.

This study revealed the complete molecular mechanism by which P.g induced microglial ferroptosis through the NOX4/PPAR-α/PGC-1α pathway, thereby driving neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment, providing a molecular target and theoretical basis for drug repurposing targeting NOX4 to intervene in periodontitis-associated Alzheimer's disease.
