Due to recent work circumstances, I’ve been exposed heavily to reading documentation written in Chinese (????????????). As someone who grew up in an English speaking household, despite being Chinese, the process of getting through just a single page document was not only agonizing slow but men...

The massive surge in demand for medicines during the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly highlighted the importance of the pharmaceutical sector, including all its elements ranging from R&D to production, supply, and distribution. From the entire pharma value chain, pharmaceutical manufacturing is one...

One of my favorite stories my grandfather tells goes like this: Sometime in the mid 1950s as a high school freshman he steps into a classroom, sees an algebraic expression on the board and says to his teacher: “I thought this is math. What’s with all of those letters?” Decades l...

Sample and Population A population refers to the entire group that is the subject of a study, while a sample is a subset of that population. Sampling involves selecting a representative portion of the population to conclude the whole. The goal is to ensure that the sample accurately reflects t...

The development of novel biomaterials stands as a paramount advancement in tissue engineering: this discipline focuses on designing materials that mirror with precision the physical and biochemical environment of native tissues. These innovative constructs provide scaffolds, which bolster cell attac...

The structure already exists. In this case, geotechnics is used to generally determine the causes of a problem with the structure (such as visible cracks or displacement). If the problem is not related to the soil, this helps to rule out this possibility, and it may be due ...

Imagine genetic diseases can be eradicated in the future, and the potential to enhance human abilities becomes a reality. The revolutionary technology known as CRISPR has opened up a realm of possibilities, granting scientists the ability to edit and manipulate DNA with incredible precision. By alte...

The paper describes a new approach to engineer antibodies to act as agonists for cell surface receptors, which has potential applications in developing new biotherapeutics. The authors developed a method to re-shape conventional Y-shaped antibodies into more compact, linear “i-shaped” an...
