Element in blood is part of human — and hibernating squirrel — stress response, study reveals

A new study shows that part of the stress response in people and animals involves increasing the levels of naturally circulating iodide in blood. The discovery demonstrates a biological mechanism that rapidly responds to severe physiologic stress and potentially serves to protect us from further damage due to life-threatening conditions.

Flexible and biodegradable electronic blood vessels

Researchers have developed electronic blood vessels that can be actively tuned to address subtle changes in the body after implantation. The blood vessels — made of a metal-polymer conductor membrane that’s flexible and biodegradable — mimic natural blood vessels, were conductive in in vitro experiments, and were able to effectively replace key arteries in rabbits. […]
