Diving into connections between the gut microbiota and host lipids
Correlations hint at connections between host traits and groups of bacteria from the gut microbiota, but the underlying mechanisms are often hard to figure out. We explored the biology of understudied gut bacteria from the genus Turicibacter and identified one way they are linked to host lipids.
Fully printed Robotic Gripper with human cognitive adaptability to revolutionize households
To expand robotic applications in household tasks, a lightweight 3D printed, cognitive robotic gripper (COGBOT) with decision-making capabilities was developed employing graphene ink printed capacitive multi-sensor array (CAPSENSAR) which bestows human cognitive perspective to the COGOT.
Critical considerations of sensitivity and specificity for HIV reservoir measurements
