The researchers used electrospinning to produce the patch—a method where high voltage is applied to a polymer solution to produce synthetic nanofibers. The fibers are then used to make a fiber mat that may be attached to the skin like a plaster.

The researchers are still working on the patch. More research, product development and clinical trials are needed before the method is ready for use.

According to Andrea Heinz, though, it has great potential that extends beyond psoriasis treatment, “A patch containing active ingredients may be an alternative to creams and ointments in the treatment of other inflammatory skin diseases, for instance atopic eczema. It may also be useful in connection with wound healing.”

Bioluminescence is the natural chemical process of light creation in some living creatures that makes fireflies flicker and some jellyfish glow. Scientists have long been interested in borrowing the secrets of these animals’ light-producing genes to create similar effects in vertebrates, for a variety of biomedical applications.

Cern physicists searching for the telltale signs of new physics within the Large Hardon Collider have released their first results.

DNA repair and DNA damage signaling pathways are critical for the maintenance of genomic stability.

In this review, Hopkins et al. review the major classes of DNA repair and damage signaling defects in cancer, the genomic instability that they give rise to, and therapeutic strategies to exploit the resulting vulnerabilities. They also discuss the impacts of DNA repair defects on both targeted therapy and immunotherapy, and highlight emerging principles for targeting DNA repair defects in cancer therapy.

This lifeform can cheat time. Could it also help us push the boundaries of biology?

“Solar system formation models using the new solar composition successfully reproduce the compositions of large Kuiper Belt objects (KBOs) and carbonaceous chondrite meteorites, in light of the newly returned Ryugu and Bennu asteroid samples from JAXA’s Hayabusa-2 and NASA’s OSIRIS-REx missions.”

To make this discovery, the team combined new measurements of solar neutrinos and data about the solar wind composition from NASA’s Genesis mission, together with the abundance of water found in primitive meteorites that originated in the outer solar system. They also used the densities of large KBOs such as Pluto and its moon Charon, as determined by NASA’s New Horizons mission.

“This work provides testable predictions for future helioseismology, solar neutrino and cosmochemical measurements, including future comet sample return missions,” Truong said.

Intel is planning to launch its next-gen Arc Battlemage desktop GPUs next month, competing in the mid-range segment against Intel & AMD.

Intel Expected To Reveal Decisive Information Around Arc Battlemage “Desktop” GPUs Next Month, Setting The Tone For Next-Gen GPU Markets

Although Intel’s first-gen Arc Desktop GPUs saw little success in the gaming segment, the next-gen is now planned for an unveiling next month.
