As food is digested and nutrients released, islet cells in the pancreas secrete insulin to usher blood sugar into the body’s cells to be used as energy. The major driver of insulin secretion is glucose, produced when carbohydrates are broken down. However, the effect that the other main classes of macronutrients – proteins and fats – have on insulin production remains relatively underexplored.Con

Prostate cancer needs testosterone to grow. In metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), an advanced form of the disease, the cancer continues growing despite a reduction in testosterone brought about by chemical or surgical castration. As such, mCRPC has few treatment options and carries a high mortality rate.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Prostate cancer, Immunot
Gels and glasses are on opposite ends of the material spectrum, but engineers at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have developed a new class called “glassy gels” that are both strong and flexible, as well as sticky and self-healing.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: new material, Shape memory materials, Polymer, Hydrogels, North Carolina State University
Living brain cells in a dish can now learn to drive robots
Posted by ArielTechGeek 6 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Biocomputing is one of the most bizarre frontiers in emerging technology, made possible by the fact that our neurons perceive the world and act on it speaking the same language as computers do – electrical signals. Human brain cells, grown in large numbers onto silicon chips, can receive electrical signals from a computer, try to make sense of them, and talk back.Continue ReadingCategory: Robotic
Clever gadget makes it (near) impossible to kill your houseplants
Posted by ArielTechGeek 9 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
'Pandemic gardens' were almost as popular as new pets and sourdough starters during 2020, but many of us learnt the hard way that indoor greenery is not always the easiest thing to keep healthy (or alive). This little gadget is out to change all of that, giving you real-time data on what your plant needs, in what the makers say will "revolutionize" how you care for your indoor plants.Continue Rea

These are some absolutely wild ideas, so before we get started, it's important to know that Michael Levin is no fringe scientist or crackpot. He's a director of the Allen Discovery Center at Tufts University, as well as the Tufts Center for Regenerative and Developmental Biology, and a co-director of the Institute for Computationally Designed Organisms. He's co-authored several hundred research p
