"Wireless Blood Communication: Nano-Biosensors Revolutionize Networking"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Phys.org

Researchers have developed a protocol called MoMA (Molecular Multiple Access) that enables a molecular network with multiple transmitters, addressing the challenge of communicating with nano-implants inside the human body. The protocol utilizes biomolecular communication, encoding data into molecules that travel through the bloodstream. The team demonstrated the scalability and performance of the protocol on a synthetic experimental testbed, but further testing is needed for practical implementation. This advancement in molecular networks has the potential to revolutionize medicine and healthcare.

"Unraveling Plant Evolution: Algae's Insights Span 600 Million Years"

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Phys.org

Researchers have studied the single-celled alga Mesotaenium endlicherianum to gain insights into the molecular networks and genetic mechanisms involved in plant terrestrialization. By subjecting the alga to different light intensities and temperatures, the researchers identified shared patterns of gene expression and discovered "hub genes" that coordinate responses to environmental signals. These genetic mechanisms were found to be shared across more than 600 million years of plant and algal evolution, providing valuable insights into the long-term evolutionary patterns of plants.
