Nanotransfection Device for Tissue Reprogramming In Situ
This report on how to exactly produce these tissue nanotransfection chips will enable other researchers to participate in this new development in regenerative medicine,” said Sen.
The technology may be useful in delivering a wide variety of agents, including drugs and proteins, and so far, the researchers have proposed that it could administer agents to stimulate bone growth, blood vessel formation, nerve growth, muscle growth and even anti-tumor agents.
Here’s a Indiana University video about the new technology:

In conclusion, there is a good amount of pre-clinical and clinical data showing a strong positive correlation between reduction of senescent cells frequencies and functional improvement of skin. Whether senescence of skin cells makes a significant causal contribution to skin ageing can still not be conclusively decided, however. Nonetheless, there is strong evidence existing today to assume that better understanding of cell senescence in skin may lead to a breakthrough in interventions into skin ageing.

December 2021: Check Out Checkpoint Inhibitors
"Hey, can you check out this rash? It is all over," a nurse said to me."What can you tell me?""He has metastatic cancer. The rash started a couple days ago.""It's probably a checkpoint inhibitor rash. I'll check it out."Medicine has developed an entirely new approach to cancer since I went to medical school. Therapeutics were all about direct toxicity to rapidly dividing cells a few decades ago. Now we have an entirely new classification of treatment: immunotherapy.Immunotherapy tries to increase the body's ability to use its own defenses against cancer. One group of agents is...

Think TikTok is smarter than me? Then I ’m not the right doctor for you.
“I don’t think I am the right doctor for you.” In over 20 years of practice, I had never uttered those words before this year. Now, as my medical assistant of 20 years remarks, almost two years into the pandemic, I say it almost daily. I like to think I am a good physician andRead more …Think TikTok is smarter than me?

Signaling from White Fat Tissue Contributes to Age-Related Hair Follicle Dysfunction
Changes in fat tissue behavior in the skin take place with age, such as rising levels of inflammation and inflammatory signaling. These changes have a detrimental effect on the ability of hair follicles to produce hair. The growth of hair is a complicated process that cycles through repeated phases of growth (anagen), transition (catagen), and rest (telogen). Aging leads to progressive dysfunction in this process and loss of hair in late life. A better understanding of the details of this dysfunction may lead to interventions, such as those attempted here in mice, to change the signaling of fat tissue in aged skin and ther...

Cactus Spine-Inspired Sweat Collection Technology
A team of researchers at the Pohang University of Science & Technology in South Korea created a passive sweat collection device that is inspired by cactus spines. The device is intended as a means to collect sweat for biomedical analysis; for instance, to measure glucose levels in patients with diabetes. Having the ability to operate without a power source, the patch can passively collect tiny amounts of sweat efficiently, helping to unlock the potential of sweat analysis technology.
Sweat analysis holds enormous promise as a way to diagnose and monitor a variety of diseases. The basic idea is that a pa...

Simple Color Change Test Identifies Wound Infections
Researchers at the University of Bath in the UK, along with outside collaborators, have developed a simple color change test that rapidly indicates whether a wound is infected with harmful bacteria. The test works by detecting virulence factors released by the bacteria, which prompt a simple color change in a solution. The test could help clinicians to determine whether to prescribe antibiotics, and may help to avoid unnecessary prescribing. As the test can be administered at the point of care, and does not require expensive and time-consuming laboratory analysis, it may be very useful in low-resource or remote regions.

November 2021: Fleshy Lumps on the Scalp
Nausea and body aches. Probably COVID. Unvaccinated. Definitely COVID. After all, what else are we seeing?The 20-something young man was eating and talking on his phone. He passed the look test. His vitals were pristine, but he regaled me with myriad symptoms he had had for months. He hadn't taken any medicine. I was at a loss for what drove him to come to the emergency department. He thought for a minute and said, "I want to know why I have all these."He pointed to a spot on his head, which drew my attention to a fleshy lump. Then he moved his hair around, causing others to appear. "You can feel lots more,&...
