In order to elucidate the mechanisms underlying NET activation and its impact on MIRI, Hongru Zhang/Senlei Xu of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine (NJUCM), along with Yanfei Mo of Pukou Hospital of Chinese Medicine, confirm that the generation of NETs by neutrophils exacerbates microvascular endothelial cell injury, thereby worsening MIRI.

A team at Harvard and Vienna University of Technology have invented a new tunable laser that uses a series of rings to smoothly emit many light wavelengths from a single chip. The laser could replace many of today’s products that face tradeoffs in accuracy, range, and cost.

In a world-first pilot study, researchers from the University of South Australia have used video footage of insects to extract their heart rates without touching or disturbing them.
