Lipid deposits (green) in brain immune cells (red) from mice with Alzheimer’s-like disease all but disappear (right) after the mice are treated with an experimental drug. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that a form of cholesterol known as cholesteryl esters builds up in the brains of mice with Alzheimer’s-like disease, and that clearing out the cholesteryl esters helps prevent brain damage and behavioral changes.

Quality, not amount, of ‘good’ cholesterol contribute to first sign of Alzheimer’s in women

Vision of the proposed research for developing a self-powered, millifluidic lab-on-a-chip device to determine blood conductivity. a) Schematics and dimensions of the proposed device. The blood layer, copper electrodes, PTFE disc, and PMMA elements form a contact-separation mode TENG system. The blood sample is sandwiched between two PMMA layers and serves as one of the conductive layers. Any change in its electrical conductivity would theoretically change the voltage signal generated by the device. b) Operating principle of this blood-based TENG device. c) The 3D printed device and the type of voltage signal generated by it.
