New Lung-on-a-Chip Mimics TB Infection in Real Time
Scientists have made a human lung-on-a-chip that mimics the tiny air sacs in the lungs, called alveoli. You could say it’s like a mini-lung in a lab dish. It might help researchers understand how TB infects the lungs and how treatments could work for different people. The study, published in Science Advances, comes from the…
Japanese Scientists Create Skin That Glows to Track Health
Japanese researchers might have found a new way to track health continuously. Instead of a smartwatch or a patch, they made skin that actually glows when certain internal molecules appear. You could say it’s like a living health monitor. The team, from Tokyo City University and The University of Tokyo, along with RIKEN and Canon…
