Do sweat it! Wearable microfluidic sensor to measure lactate concentration in real time

Lactate, a compound present in sweat, is an important biomarker to quantify during exercise. However, available wearable sensors can cause skin irritation, which calls for the use of different materials. In a recent study, scientists have developed a soft and nonirritating microfluidic sensor for the real-time measurement of lactate concentration in sweat. This wearable device […]

You snooze, you lose – with some sleep trackers

Wearable sleep tracking devices – from Fitbit to Apple Watch to never-heard-of brands stashed away in the electronics clearance bin – have infiltrated the market at a rapid pace in recent years. And like any consumer products, not all sleep trackers are created equal, according to neuroscientists. Source: You snooze, you lose – with some […]

How the 'noise' in our brain influences our behavior

The brain’s neural activity is irregular, changing from one moment to the next. To date, this apparent ‘noise’ has been thought to be due to random natural variations or measurement error. However, researchers have shown that this neural variability may provide a unique window into brain function. Source: How the 'noise' in our brain influences […]

New tech aims to tackle 'disseminated intravascular coagulation' blood disorder

Researchers have developed a new tool for addressing disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) – a blood disorder that proves fatal in many patients. The technology has not yet entered clinical trials, but in vivo studies using rat models and in vitro models using blood from DIC patients highlight the tech’s potential. Source: New tech aims to […]

Scientists develop blood test to predict environmental harms to children

Scientists have developed a method using a DNA biomarker to easily screen pregnant women for harmful prenatal environmental contaminants like air pollution linked to childhood illness and developmental disorders. This approach has the potential to prevent childhood developmental disorders and chronic illness through the early identification of children at risk. Source: Scientists develop blood test […]
