Overcoming Drug Delivery Challenges with Lipid-Based Nanofibers for Enhanced Wound Repair
Wound healing is a dynamic, multi-phase process that includes haemostasis, tissue regeneration, cellular proliferation, and matrix modification. Traditional wound care procedures frequently encounter complications such as delayed healing and infection, demanding new therapeutic approaches.

Last Updated:November 05, 2024, 11:09 ISTAn individual sent us an application drafted by ChatGPT and forgot to edit it. To top it off, they forgot to attach their CV to the email. The applicant is a final-year student at the university we don't want to name, pursuing a journalism course in Hindi.

Pakistan’s Arshad Nadeem entered the history books as he bagged gold at the Paris Olympics 2024 with a meteoric 92.97m throw in the final on Friday. Nadeem’s first attempt was a no-throw but he followed it up with an Olympic record throw that clocked 92.97m and pretty much became the gold standard of the javelin final. Only Neeraj Chopra, the Tokyo Games gold medalist, came close with a throw of 89.45m to take the silver medal.

AbstractThe RNA-guided ribonuclease CRISPR-Cas13 enables adaptive immunity in bacteria and programmable RNA manipulation in heterologous systems. Cas13s share limited sequence similarity, hindering discovery of related or ancestral systems. To address this, we developed an automated structural-search pipeline to identify an ancestral clade of Cas13 (Cas13an), and further trace Cas13 origins to defense-associated ribonucleases.

AbstractEdge states of a topological insulator can be used to explore fundamental science emerging at the interface of low dimensionality and topology. Achieving a robust conductance quantization, however, has proven challenging for helical edge states. Here we show wide resistance plateaus in kink states – a manifestation of the quantum valley Hall effect in Bernal bilayer graphene – quantized to the predicted value at zero magnetic field.

Any scientist knows that to be a good scientist, they must conduct thoughtful research; generate high-quality, verifiable results and analyses; and get them into circulation in the scientific community. However, what often goes underappreciated is that this good science will likely remain ignored by most of the world if one doesn’t find a way to get it out beyond the scientific community. Unfortunately, when it comes to making our science accessible, we scientists all too often fall short.

Editor’s summaryThe number and size of human genomics datasets have been increasing but not uniformly, and most of the genetic data available to researchers are still derived from individuals of European descent. This shortcoming limits both the biological insights that can be gleaned from these data and their clinical applications to non-European patients, who may not match up well with the traditional study participants.
