We show that dinoflagellates accumulate and crystallize nitrogen-rich molecules from aqueous solutions and use these crystals for growth. This behavior might have implications for understanding marine nitrogen cycling. Moreover, the crystallization behavior can be manipulated to biosynthesize difficult-to-crystallize reflective materials with tailored morphologies and optical properties.
Computer models are showing the potential to draw upon a person’s clinical records and current health data to forecast diseases and treatment outcomes. Could this presage a new era of preventive medicine?
How do intellectual property rights and licensing structures influence access to CRISPR technologies? Could the right to science act as a complementary legal instrument to promote socially beneficial innovation?
Engineered cellular immunotherapy shows great potential for treating autoimmune diseases. Payne and colleagues review emerging clinical data of the most recently developed technologies.
A hemodynamics-driven magnetoelastic vascular graft (MVG) has been developed, and its biosafety and functionalities were successfully validated in vivo in rat and pig. The MVG restores blood flow and enables wireless, real-time and continuous stenosis diagnosis, and has clinical potential for improving the management of human vascular disease.
