Continuous biochemical profiling of the gastrointestinal tract using an integrated smart capsule - Nature Electronics An integrated smart capsule that encapsulates an array of electrochemical sensors can provide real-time, continuous and multiplexed monitoring of the gastrointestinal tract.

New in Nature Electronics, we present an ingestible smart capsule capable of simultaneously monitoring a broad spectrum of biochemical markers—including electrolytes, metabolites, and hormones. Congrats to the team!

One step closer to 3D printing inside the body What if doctors could precisely print miniature capsules capable of delivering cells needed for tissue repair exactly where they are needed inside a beating heart?

A team of scientists led by @weigaolab.bsky.social from 🇺🇸 @caltech.edu has developed a method for #3Dprinting polymers at specific locations deep within the body of living animals.

And Now for Some Fun Future I feel like I’ve been writing a lot about futures I was pretty worried about, so I’m pleased to have a couple developments to talk about…

Amidst all the gloom and doom in the world, there are still new technologies that give me hope for the future - such as #FaceAge from @massgeneralbrigham.bsky.social and "3D printing in vivo using ultrasound" from @caltech.edu

A screen capture of the AIMBE advocacy webpage with 3 advocacy letters outlined in red boxes: STEM Training Pipeline, NIH & NSF Indirect Cost Caps, and FY26 Funding.

🚨 AIMBE is calling on the biomedical research community to take a minute to send our 3 new advocacy letters urging Congress to:

1. Protect the STEM Training Pipeline (e.g., NIH MOSAIC, T32s, MARC, etc.)

2. Oppose Indirect Cost Caps

3. Support Research Funding in FY2026
