Summary

Scientists were not immune to the home baking trends that grew out of a year of self-isolation and working from home. A creative application of soda bread as scaffolding for tissue engineering produced some exciting results and highlights the value of keeping it simple.

AlphaFold AI System can change the world

While 2020 was a difficult time across many metrics, it was an exciting year for protein science!

AlphaFold gained international acclaim for advancing protein structure prediction after blowing the competition out of the water at CASP in both the 2018 and 2020 competitions (1). The AlphaFold system uses AI to decipher an

In last October’s newsletter, Sterlitech announced the availability of kits for performing the Kato-Katz  analysis technique for Soil-Transmitted Helminthiasis (STH) in field-based applications, signifying the first time that these kits were available from a source in the United States. Prior to this, the efforts of research groups and health organizations could be hamp

A team of scientists at the University of California, Berkeley developed a wearable sensor to monitor an individual’s health based upon their sweat. The sensor is constructed as a patch with a spiral-patterned microfluidic component where sweat samples can flow and be analyzed.[1] It has shown potential for monitoring sodium and fluid loss, and in some cases potassium.[1]&n

The new line of cellQART cell culture inserts, offered by Sterlitech, have important applications in medical science. Cell culture inserts have been used widely in tissue engineering because they allow access to both sides of the membrane. Each insert is designed to fit inside the well of a culture plate, making it more effective for growing 3D tissue layers than seeding cells directly on the surface of a plate.

Tissue engineering is a field of regenerative medicine
