The new Contact Allergen Management Program (CAMP) 2.0, from the American Contact Dermatitis Society (ACDS), is a web- and app-based resource designed to help patients manage allergic contact dermatitis.

These miniature immune system models — known as human immune organoids — mimic the real-life environment where immune cells learn to recognize and attack harmful invaders and respond to vaccines. Not only are these organoids powerful new tools for studying and observing immune function in cancer, their use is likely to accelerate vaccine development, better predict disease treatment response for patients, and even speed up clinical trials.

Completely artificial proteins that produce bioluminescence can serve as a non-invasive method for bioimaging, diagnostics, drug discovery, and more.

MBARI researchers have discovered a remarkable new species of sea slug that lives in the deep sea. Nicknamed the "mystery mollusc," the nudibranch Bathydevius caudactylus swims through the ocean’s midnight zone with a large gelatinous hood and paddle-like tail, and lights up with brilliant bioluminescence. Thanks to MBARI's advanced underwater technology, researchers were able to prepare a comprehensive description of the natural history of this amazing animal.

Recent advancements in cyanobacteria engineering have demonstrated increased ethanol production through genetic modifications and environmental adaptations. This study outlines key strategies in carbon flow optimization and enzyme overexpression, enhancing ethanol yields. The findings underscore cyanobacteria's potential as a renewable biofuel source, marking significant progress in sustainable energy research.
