Still, there's no question that this device acts a lot more like a neuron than most typical circuitry does. And the authors have managed to make them using a variety of materials, so it's apparently robust behavior. … [Read more...] about Memristor that forgets makes a good model neuron

So, the researchers decided to set up a slow-release system. They created a gene that was essentially a string of GLP-1 sequences, separated by sites recognized by one of the body's protein cutting enzymes. Then they linked these to a sequence for something called elastin-like peptide, or ELP. ELP has an interesting behavior: it's perfectly soluble in water at room temperature, but forms a complex aggregate when raised to human body temperatures. … [Read more...] about Peptide depots and DNA tattoos could deliver drugs in the future
