Aminosäure in Kometen gefunden | #Space #Research | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

From www.heise.de - May 27, 2016 2:01 PM

Gust MEES's insight:

Ein internationales Forschungsteam hat erstmals die Aminosäure Glycin und Phosphor in der Gaswolke des Kometen 67P/Tschurjumow-Gerassimenko nachgewiesen.

Ein internationales Forscherteam konnte sie nach der Auswertung von Massenspektren der Rosetta-Mission zweifelsfrei die Aminosäure Glycin, Methylamin, Ethylamin und Phosphor in der Gaswolke um den Kometen 67P/Tschurjumow-Gerassimenko nachweisen. Das berichten sie in der aktuellen Ausgabe des Fachmagazins Science Advances.

Obwohl mittlerweile mehr als 140 verschiedene organische Moleküle im All nachgewiesen wurden, sind Aminosäuren bisher nicht darunter. Sie bilden die Grundbausteine von Muskeln, Bindegewebe, Hormonen und Enzymen. Bei dem bislang einzigen Nachweis von Glycin in Kometen-Staub, den die Stardust-Mission der NASA 2004 vom Kometen Wild 2 geborgen hatte, konnte eine irdische Kontamination nicht ausgeschlossen werden.

Lebensbausteine aus dem All
Der Nachweis von Glycin dürfte die These stärken, dass das Rohmaterial für die Entwicklung des Lebens über Kometen auf die Erde gelangte. Dafür spricht unter anderem die weite Verbreitung von Kohlenstoffverbindungen im Weltraum, berichtet Birgit Herden in der aktuellen Ausgabe von Technology Review ("Lebt da was?", TR 6/16 S. 26).

Gust MEES's insight:

Soft circuits — circuits based on flexible substrates — have been a hot topic for years now, in fields from medicine to consumer electronics. Graphene would be a nearly perfect material to use for these circuits, if only we could apply it effectively. While it’s extremely conductive, it’s flaky and difficult to manufacture at scale.

From www.economist.com - May 6, 2016 7:36 PM

Gust MEES's insight:

THEY don’t drink, they don’t get tired and they don’t go on strike. To hospital managers, the idea of robots operating on patients without human intervention is an attractive one. To patients, though, the crucial question is, “are they better than human surgeons?” Surgery is messy and complicated. A routine operation can become life-threatening in minutes.

Such considerations have meant that the role of robots in operating theatres has been limited until now to being little more than motorised, precision tools for surgeons to deploy—a far cry from the smart surgical pods and “med-bays” of science fiction. But a paper published this week in Science Translational Medicine, by Peter Kim of the Children’s National Health System in Washington, DC, and his colleagues, brings the idea of real robot surgeons, operating under only the lightest of human supervision, a step closer. Though not yet let loose on people, it has successfully stitched up the intestines of piglets.

3D printing BioPen lets surgeons draw with stem cells | #Research #Medicine | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

From mashable.com - April 6, 2016 5:21 PM

Gust MEES's insight:

Doctors perform hundreds of thousands of knee surgeries every year, often to replace damaged or worn cartilage. The techniques for performing these surgeries today may be about to change, thanks to new research.

In the not-too-distant future, orthopedic surgeons may simply draw new cartilage inside your knee, using a 3D printing, stem-cell-extruding device called the "BioPen."

SEE ALSO: Should we 3D print a new Palmyra? Here's what it means to recreate a city destroyed by ISIS.

The device is still in the research and development stage and not yet approved for medical use, but it's an example of how 3D printing technologies may usher in new ways of treating common human ailments.

In a study published last month in the journal Biofabrication, scientists from the Australian Research Council’s Center of Excellence for Electromaterials Science (ACES) detailed experiments with their custom-built, 3D printing pen, known as the BioPen, a device they’ve been working for almost three years.

Its new capability, though, is what they're calling a breakthrough: the ability to effectively print viable human stem cells into damaged joints to regrow cartilage.

The pen was developed by Peter Choong, director of orthopedic

Nanoparticle-based cancer therapies shown to work in humans

(Nanowerk News) A team of researchers led by Caltech scientists has shown that nanoparticles can function to target tumors while avoiding adjacent healthy tissue in human cancer patients.
"Our work shows that this specificity, as previously demonstrated in preclinical animal studies, can in fact occur in humans," says study leader Mark E. Davis, the Warren and Katharine Schlinger Professor of Chemical Engineering at Caltech. "The ability to target tumors is one of the primary reasons for using nanoparticles as therapeutics to treat solid tumors."

Move over, El Niño. You may be the strongest such climate pattern humans have ever recorded, and you may have given California crabs this week, but the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration can see right through you, and you’re losing ground.

That’s right: the El Niño phenomenon that fueled endless weird weather, hot months, and Chris Farley jokes this past year is on the downswing. And if the latest NOAA data is any indicator, La Niña is liquored up and ready to rage. The Hot Blob that’s been cooling its heels over the Pacific for the past year—a constant reminder that we’re in the steamy clutches of a monster El Niño—is now being undercut by a deeper pool of colder water.

Scoop it Blog on: For the first time ever, a human with paralysis can move his hand againDate: April 14Link:My summary: this article was about how a guy who suffers with paralysis in his hands is given the chance to move his hands again with help of technology that takes signals from his brain to his Muscles in his hands and arms so that they can move and function like they used to. It also says that this new technology may not be distributed to the public for a very long time Because it's still being tested. There has been only 1 person to use it so far and it's been successful for almost 2 years. I think that this new technology for helping paralysis is a good idea Because it can help people who are trying to get back to work and it would allow them to carry on with their life without struggles that paralysis has. It would be a great idea to bring this to the public so they can have their opinions as well and have better ideas that can go with it so it can advance even more. It may be hard to get it going, like it said In the article because so far only one person has successfully used it, but once it's released I'm sure it will bring huge benefits to those who need it and people who want to bring new ideas.

Thursday, April 14th BY CHELSEA HARVEY This article is about a man who had paralysis from a swimming accident. He was the first man to test the new technology and he cured his hand, he is able to move them again. I think this was a really interesting article and it's amazing how they found the technology to cure his hand and hopefully cure the rest of the people with paralysis and keep making miracles happen.

Gust MEES's insight:

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved an injectable pacemaker that doesn’t require wired leads, which often lead to complications.

Image: Medtronic
The one-inch long Medtronic-built device, called the Micra Transcatheter Pacing System, is about a tenth the size of traditional pacemakers—making it the smallest in the world.

It’s intended for patients with atrial fibrillation (an irregular or rapid heart rate) and other dangerous arrhythmias, including bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome. The FDA approved the device in light of a Medtronic clinical trial involving 719 patients who were implanted with the device. After six months, around 98 percent of the patients experienced adequate heart pacing. A small fraction (7 percent) of patients experienced major complications, such as cardiac injuries, device dislocation, and blood clots.

Wi-Fi could soon have a very detailed geofence, if MIT researchers have their way. They’ve introduced a new project named ‘Chronos’ that helps Wi-Fi signals locate you within “tens of centimeters.”

The team managed this by monitoring several Wi-Fi bands, then cobbling the data together to find out how long a signal takes to find the end user. In knowing the time and distance it takes for a Wi-Fi signal to travel, MIT can create advanced geofencing.

A biomimetic 'bridge' to precision medicine

(Nanowerk News) Nanotechnology has led to better diagnostic techniques and treatments for a variety of illnesses. Tiny devices that enable scientists to observe cell activity and deliver drugs to individual cells promise to revolutionize precision medicine for treatment of diseases such as cancer.
One obstacle to fulfilling nanomedicine’s promise is the inability to observe cell-to-cell interactions in an environment that closely simulates the dynamic environment inside the body. A micro-fluid environment that mimics blood flow is key to learning how cells become damaged by disease—and how they might respond to treatment.
Now a team of researchers at Lehigh and the University of Pennsylvania has developed a technique that uses antibody-coated nanoparticles as imaging probes to watch cell-to-cell interactions under micro-fluid conditions.
