Function of liver cancer genes in mini-organs

Researchers have developed a human model in which they use organoids, or mini organs, to study the function of specific genes that are mutated in liver cancer. Using this method, they have found that mutations in BAP1, a gene commonly mutated in liver cancer, changes the behavior of the cells, which may make them more likely to be invasive. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190523143002.htm

New 3D-printed technology lowers cost of common medical test

A desire for a simpler, cheaper way to do common laboratory tests for medical diagnoses and to avoid 'washing the dishes' led researchers to develop a new technology that reduces cost and time. The 3D-printed pipette-tip test developed by the researchers leverages what 'has long been the gold standard for measuring proteins, pathogens, antibodies and other biomolecules in complex matrices,' they say. The method still employs the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, also known as ELISA, but through a different route. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190523130223.htm

Engineered bacteria could be missing link in energy storage

One of the big issues with sustainable energy systems is how to store electricity that's generated from wind, solar and waves. At present, no existing technology provides large-scale storage and energy retrieval for sustainable energy at a low financial and environmental cost. Engineered electroactive microbes could be part of the solution. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190523130203.htm

Producing electricity at estuaries using light and osmosis

Researchers are working on a technology to exploit osmotic energy -- a source of power that's naturally available at estuaries, where fresh water comes into contact with seawater. In a laboratory experiment, the team reproduced the real-world conditions that occur where rivers meet the sea (pH and salt concentration) and showed that, by shining light on a system comprising salt, water and a membrane three atoms thick, it was possible to optimize electricity production. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/05/190523111359.htm

Progress in hunt for unknown compounds in drinking water
