LEDs light a path to diagnosis Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, causing nearly 18 million deaths in 2019 alone, according to the World Health Organization. The vast majority of these deaths occurred in low- and middle-income countries, indicating the need for a point-of-care diagnostic method capable of adapting to resource-limited clinical settings. Because of the ability of photoacoustic...

Membrane microscopy is helping to ensure that drugs are safe for patients Historically, during drug trials, the biopharmaceutical industry has used technologies that have been ill-suited for biologics characterization, an essential foundation for devising a proper therapeutic strategy. These legacy tools — which measure distribution of a particular drug or treatment — have required a lot of time and samples and can only be deployed in the latest stages of...

Probe detects cooking oil gone bad Most people who eat in restaurants probably don’t think about how often the staff changes the oil in which the food is cooked. But what patrons don’t know can still make them sick. Fortunately, researchers have developed a fluorescent probe that could help keep consumers safe by identifying even small amounts oil gone bad. Lipid oxidation occurs when cooking oils are reused too many...
