Self-healing materials (SHMs) are substances that automatically repair damage, mimicking organic healing. These materials have a wide range of applications, including construction, biomedicine, transportation, and even textiles. SHMs can extend the longevity of manufactured goods and have numerous uses in medical healing (Crawford, 2024).
Plant mucilage is a thick, glue-like substance produced by plants that helps with seed germination, water and nutrient storage, and defense. Flax and chia seeds are rich sources of mucilage and have various applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Wound healing is a complex and dynamic biological process that occurs through four overlapping phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and maturation. To repair tissue damage, the body works intensively, thereby significantly increasing cellular metabolic demands.
Exploring AI, advanced materials, propulsion, autonomous systems, and emerging technologies shaping the future of aerospace engineering.
Environmental pollution in densely populated regions remains a persistent challenge, particularly where cultural, religious, and social practices intersect with fragile ecosystems. While industrial emissions and vehicular pollution have received substantial scholarly attention, the environmental impact of everyday ritual and community practices
What does stress actually do to your body? Explore the neurobiology of the survival response, from the immediate SAM axis to the the HPA axis, and learn how to restore your biological equilibrium.
India’s space program, led by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), has evolved from modest experimental launches into a globally recognized scientific and technological enterprise.
Small fruit fly is an excellent model organism used by scientists to study various aspect of human health and diseases such as development, regeneration, wound healing, cancer and stem cell research
Traditionally, Forensic Science relies on Human DNA for contact evidence and individual identification, but limitation arises when the blood cells obtained from the crime scene are degraded or not.
Natural polysaccharides like locust bean gum and chitosan are replacing lactose as safer, more effective carriers for inhaled medications and vaccines.
Injury is an inherent risk of sport participation. Whether at elite or recreational level, athletes are exposed to physical loads that challenge tissue capacity and recovery.
How does one egg form? Inside the fruit fly ovary, discover how cells organize, migrate, and cooperate to turn an egg chamber into one egg—step by step
Talk about hepatitis testing, including blood tests for hepatitis A, B, C, D and E, common markers, liver tests, and what positive or negative results mean.
In Sci-fi visions of distant futures, some imagine sprawling intergalactic civilizations. Scaffolds built around stars harvesting their energy. Fusion reactors, cyborgs, superintelligent implants. But the future of artificial bones, though perhaps more mundane, could be a life saving science.
Why is mucus the biggest obstacle to lung drug delivery? Explore the mucosal barrier science reshaping how we design inhaled medicines and vaccines.
ears pass in schoolrooms where future doctors study life's inner workings, cells, chemicals, and body parts. From books they recall illness patterns, how molecules bond, ways to spot health troubles
Discover how antigen-presenting cells like dendritic cells and macrophages are being recruited through smart particle design for vaccines and immunotherapy.
A future without transplant waitlists? Tissue engineering blends biology and engineering to build living, functional human tissue.
Cell and gene therapies represent a seismic shift in healthcare. They promise to cure the incurable, restoring sight to the blind and erasing cancer from the blood. But this frontier is wild. It comes with biological price tags, potential genetic misfires, and a regulatory landscape that is still being mapped.
HIV testing is the process of determining whether a person has been infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Depending on the test, HIV testing can detect antibodies produced by the immune system, the HIV p24 antigen, or HIV RNA. Different tests have different detection window periods, and a reactive screening result requires appropriate follow-up testing before an HIV diagnosis is established.
