A team of MIT researchers have developed a printable origami robot that folds itself up from a flat sheet of plastic when heated and measures about a centimeter from front to back. (Learn more: http://mitne.ws/1HwBZro)

Weighing only a third of a gram, the robot can swim, climb an incline, traverse rough terrain, and carry a load twice its weight.

Gust MEES's insight:

Vingt ans après la découverte de la première exoplanète autour d’une étoile de la séquence principale, les astronomes chassent toujours des exoterres. Ils viennent de découvrir à moins de 14 années-lumière du Soleil, une superterre qui pourrait être habitable. C’est un record.

Un gel intelligent pour attaquer le cancer - UdeMNouvelles | Research | Canada | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

From www.nouvelles.umontreal.ca - November 19, 2015 3:04 PM

Gust MEES's insight:

Un nouveau biogel injectable s'avère efficace pour livrer des agents anticancer directement dans les tumeurs cancéreuses et les tuer. Cette technologie conçue par des chercheurs du Centre de recherche du Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CRCHUM) a été testée avec succès en laboratoire. Si elle fonctionne chez les patients, cette gélatine thérapeutique pourrait un jour révolutionner les traitements contre plusieurs formes de cancer.

Contrairement au «jello», ce biogel est liquide à température de la pièce et se gélifie à 37 degrés Celsius, la température du corps humain. «La force de ce biogel est d'être compatible avec les cellules immunitaires anticancer. Il sert à les encapsuler pour les administrer à l'aide d'une seringue ou d'un cathéter dans la tumeur ou juste à côté. Au lieu d'injecter ces cellules anticancer ou encore des médicaments dans tout le corps à travers la circulation sanguine, nous pouvons traiter localement le cancer. Nous espérons que cette approche ciblée va améliorer les traitements d'immunothérapie actuels», explique Réjean Lapointe, chercheur au CRCHUM et co-auteur d'une étude parue récemment dans la revue Biomaterials.

Mal de dos : des cellules souches pour réparer un disque intervertébral | Research | Medicine | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

From www.futura-sciences.com - December 23, 2015 12:32 PM

Gust MEES's insight:

D’un point de vue physiologique, le noyau pulpeux, la partie centrale des disques intervertébraux, est le premier touché. Il est composé en grande partie d’eau, ce qui lui confère ses propriétés d’amortisseur. Avec l’âge, les cellules pulpeuses deviennent progressivement moins prolifératives, plus sujettes à l’apoptose et incapables de produire cette fameuse matrice extracellulaire très hydratée.

Comment alors les remplacer par des cellules fonctionnelles ? Les chercheurs se sont intéressés au tissu adipeux qui constitue un grand réservoir de cellules souches capables de se différencier dans une vaste gamme de types cellulaires. Encore fallait-il trouver le bon protocole pour réussir à ce que des cellules souches du tissu adipeux puissent se transformer en cellules du noyau pulpeux.
