New Wearable Ring Tracks Glucose, Ketone and Other Biomarkers in Sweat Simultaneously
Engineers created a smart ring that simultaneously and continuously monitors up to four different chemical biomarkers — a combination of glucose, ketones, vitamin C, uric acid, lactate or alcohol — from finger sweat. The technology could aid in diabetes management, nutrition tracking and...
2 Million Cars with Anti-Theft Systems Installed by Dealers are at Higher Risk of Theft
At least 2.2 million cars on the road today are vulnerable to an attack that allows thieves to lock and unlock doors and immobilize vehicle engines remotely via a Bluetooth connection, computer scientists at the University of California San Diego have found.
Drug Candidate Could Help L-Dopa Work Better for Patients with Parkinson’s
For Parkinson's patients, the drug that restores movement can stop working reliably and cause involuntary movements of its own. A new candidate from UC San Diego-born biotech Sinopia Biosciences may fix both — boosting L-dopa's benefits while easing dyskinesia.
Open-Access Genetic Map Provides Reference for What Almost Every Stem Cell Gene Does
Bioengineers have developed a genome-scale reference map that details how individual genes control the functions and identities of human stem cells. This open-access resource could help researchers build virtual cell models for complex diseases, as well as design patient-specific treatments for...
New XPS Instrument at UC San Diego Gives Researchers a Closer Look at Material Surfaces
A new XPS machine at the UC San Diego Qualcomm Institute is helping researchers advance work in battery technology, surface coatings and medical devices.
Immune Cells Get Transformed into Fungus-Fighting Nanoparticles
Nanoparticles made from the membranes of human immune cells could offer a promising new way to fight fungal infections that are becoming harder to treat. The antifungal nanoparticles target Candida albicans, a fungus responsible for oral and vaginal yeast infections as well as life-threatening blood...
