Even as biomedical engineer Anirban Sen Gupta refines artificial platelets to stem traumatic bleeding, he and his colleagues are seeking new uses for their synthetic solution. The latest application to show promise involves providing synthetic platelets to treat a genetic condition that prevents bl...

By discovering how zebrafish use their hair cells to detect distant movement, a team of Case Western Reserve University scientists may have found a path to help explain human hearing loss. Even though the tiny water creatures and humans would appear to have nothing in common, the structure and func...

By Youngjin Yoo The traditional approach to sustainability, focusing on reducing harm and minimizing carbon footprints, is no longer sufficient. As our world confronts unprecedented environmental challenges, we must shift our mindset from simply "doing no harm" to actively contributing to the regen...
