Electroretinography (ERG) is an ophthalmic diagnostic method used to determine whether the retina is functioning normally. It is widely employed for diagnosing hereditary retinal diseases or assessing retinal function decline.
A team of Korean researchers has developed a next-generation wireless ophthalmic diagnostic technology that replaces the existing stationary, darkroom-based retinal testing method by incorporating an “ultrathin OLED” into a contact lens. This breakthrough is expected to have applications in diverse fields such as myopia treatment, ocular biosignal analysis, augmented-reality (AR) visual information delivery, and light-based neurostimulation.
Bentham Science has announced the release of its newest title Organoid Technology: Disease Modelling, Drug Discovery, and Personalized Medicine, a pioneering study that captures the transformative role of organoid systems in advancing human health research.
Researchers have created what could be called “skin in a syringe”. The gel containing live cells can be 3D printed into a skin transplant, as shown in a study conducted on mice. This technology may lead to new ways to treat burns and severe wounds. The study was led from the Center for Disaster Medicine and Traumatology and Linköping University in Sweden, and has been published in Advanced Healthcare Materials.
Bentham Science announces the release of an essential reference for researchers, educators, and industry professionals engaged in drug discovery and experimental pharmacology. Zebrafish Models for Experimental Pharmacology: A Handbook presents a clear, practical, and methodologically rich approach to harnessing the Zebrafish as a powerful model organism in biomedical research.
Wuhan, China – A landmark study published today in National Science Review introduces "Pore Science and Engineering" as a transformative paradigm for designing porous materials. Led by Prof. Bao-Lian Su (Wuhan University of Technology) and Prof. Ming-Yuan He (East China Normal University), the research systematically classifies two evolutionary stages of porous materials while proposing quantitative design principles for future applications in energy, catalysis, and environmental remediation.
