Staying hydrated while working out seems like an intuitive practice, right? When you feel parched, just take a break and grab a quick drink before getting back to your pre-planned regimen. But as ...

Dr. Ho Sang Jung and his research team from the Advanced Bio and Healthcare Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) have developed an optical biosensor capable ...

Stelo is meant for those with Type 2 diabetes as well as people who want more insight into their blood sugar levels. Here's how biosensors are growing in 2024. Jessica was a writer on the Wellness ...

Wearable and implantable biosensors that can accurately detect biological molecules in a non- or minimally invasive manner have vast potential for monitoring patients' physiology and response to ...

Iron is an essential trace element in biological cells. The concentration of the element and its so-called redox state—it can exist either in a doubly ionized state as iron (II) (Fe 2+) or a triply ...

The biosensor uses "capture probes" called aptamers, which are single strands of DNA that bind to virus proteins, flagging them. The team's big challenge was finding a way to get these aptamers to ...

The transition toward circular bioeconomy models in agro-food systems has accelerated the adoption of bioplastics, recycled materials, and bio-based ...

A comprehensive and critical evaluation of recent advances in sweat-based biochemical and physiological biomarkers for noninvasive diabetes monitoring. A novel emphasis on multimodal sensor ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Ensuring the safety of drinking water, food supplies, and environmental samples depends on detecting bacterial contamination before it causes harm. Traditional microbiological ...
