Researchers on the USC Viterbi School of Engineering looked to origami to create latest sensors that would someday be employed to detect deformations in organs and in addition to be used in wearables and soft robotics. Their paper, “High-Stretchability and Low-Hysteresis Strain Sensors Using Origami-Inspired 3D Mesostructures,” featured in Science Advances explains how USC researchers […]
Yale researchers have created a functional “humanized” liver in living mice that can help scientists find human-specific mechanisms for regulating levels of cholesterol and potentially for treating chronic liver diseases afflicting tens of thousands and thousands of individuals in the US. The findings are published Aug. 9 within the journal Cell. Chronic liver diseases similar […]
