Nature Biomedical Engineering, Published online: 22 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41551-024-01240-4Human B cells can be edited to produce custom heavy-chain antibodies while allowing the cells to respond to immunization with a matched antigen.
Due to its high accuracy, lab-based PCR testing is the gold standard for infectious disease diagnostics. Yet PCR's availability is limited, especially in low-resource settings. New research suggests a new kind of test could be more streamlined without sacrificing performance.
Nature Biomedical Engineering, Published online: 18 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41551-024-01239-xPlatinum-based chemotherapeutics can be locally released in tumours by leveraging the radiation-induced reduction of platinum prodrugs.

Bioengineering researchers at Rice University have developed ultrasmall, stable gas-filled protein nanostructures that could revolutionize ultrasound imaging and drug delivery. Unlike current microbubbles or nanobubbles that are too large to cross biological barriers effectively, the novel diamond-shaped 50-nanometer gas vesicles (50-NM GVs) — approximately the size of viruses — are believed to be the smallest stable, free-floating structures for medical imaging ever created.
