In a recent perspective published in Science, researchers explored microfluidic systems with a skin interface in assessing chemical exposure and health status. Study: Sweat as a diagnostic biofluid. Image Credit: CGN089/Shutterstock Background The skin's eccrine sweat glands are essential elements of an ingenious evaporative cooling system. Their action is regulated in an adaptive and closed-loop fashion by the sympathetic nervous […]

Every four months, pathologist Aaron LeBeau scoops into a net one of the five nurse sharks he keeps in his University of Wisconsin lab. Then he carefully administers a shot to the animal, much like a pediatrician giving a kid a vaccine. The shot will immunize the shark against a human cancer, perhaps, or an infectious disease, such as COVID-19. […]

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have identified variants of a chaperone molecule that optimizes the binding and presentation of foreign antigens across the human population, which could open the door to numerous applications where robust presentation to the immune system is important, including cell therapy and immunization. The findings were published today in Science Advances. Class I major […]
