Tech Xplore / Controlled crumples give inflatable membranes multiple stable shapes for adaptable designs
Inflatable structures are all around us, from pool floaties and archways at the Tour de France to life-saving emergency resuscitators and vehicle airbags. As useful as these structures are, they are limited to only two stable ...
Medical Xpress / Heart capillaries may build natural bypasses for blood flow after heart attacks

Medical Xpress / Motor neurons choreograph fruit fly feeding in millisecond-by-millisecond sequence
Eating may look effortless, but behind every bite, the brain runs a split-second relay of coordinated movement. In a recent study, researchers zoomed into the tiny world of fruit flies, or Drosophila, to uncover how their ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists identify genes that could reduce APOE4 Alzheimer's disease risk
An international team of researchers led by Michael E. Belloy, Ph.D., an assistant professor of neurology and psychiatry at WashU Medicine, identified key genetic targets for developing potential Alzheimer's disease therapeutics. ...
Tech Xplore / Giant cyborg cockroaches could bring supervised care to people trapped beyond rescuers' reach
"Swarms" of cyborg cockroaches with cameras and miniature medical injectors could deliver supervised emergency care to people trapped in collapsed buildings, caves or other places too dangerous for rescuers to reach. The ...
Medical Xpress / After TAVI, anticoagulants outperform antiplatelet agents at preventing clots
After transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), anticoagulation reduced imaging signs of clot formation on the new valve compared with antiplatelet therapy, without compromising safety. This was the main finding of ...
