The article discusses an approach to assessing the level of maturity of medical technologies based on the TRL (technology readiness level) methodology. The author presents a tool for planning scientific results and developments in the direction of «medical sciences» with a clear description of the expected results at each level of research and development. The levels of technological maturity of developments in the field of healthcare are described in detail, possible results and reporting forms for each level are presented, their differences are analyzed depending on the planned final product. Also presented are proposals for the distribution of powers between the state and business to finance the process of creating and implementing a new medical technology, depending on its stage of maturity.

Fluorescence sensing is widely used in in vitro detection due to its high sensitivity and rapid result delivery. However, detection systems based on nanomaterials involving complex and cumbersome purification steps can lead to sample loss and significantly reduce the accuracy of the results. To address this issue, we proposed a lanthanide-based aptasensor featuring the target-triggered antenna effect to significantly enhance the time-resolved luminescence (TRL) of chelated Tb combined with a wash-free strategy.

Article Synopsis
  • The paper presents a straightforward and scalable method to produce buckypapers using airbrushed SWCNTs on PET substrates, making it accessible without specialized equipment.
  • Research compares the EMI shielding capabilities of buckypapers made from purified and unpurified SWCNTs, finding that purified nanotubes offer better performance due to their higher conductivity.
  • CVD-synthesized graphene plates exhibit excellent properties for microwave absorption, reflected by low reflection and high absorption coefficients, enhancing their effectiveness in shielding applications.

This study introduces an innovative in situ lander/impact-penetrator design tailored for Discovery-class missions to Europa, specifically focused on conducting astrobiological analyses. The platform integrates a microfluidic capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector (C4D), optimized for the detection of low-concentration salts potentially indicative of biological activity. Our microfluidic system allows for automated sample routing and precise conductivity-based detection, making it suitable for the harsh environmental and logistical demands of Europa's icy surface.

Article Synopsis
  • Biological 3D printing, or bioprinting, involves the automated creation of living cells and biomaterials and is considered an extension of additive manufacturing according to ASTM and ISO standards.
  • While there's a lot of excitement about the potential clinical applications of bioprinting, many discussions overlook crucial steps necessary for translating this technology into real-world healthcare solutions.
  • The article suggests modifying the technology readiness level (TRL) scale to assess the maturity of bioprinting research and offers recommendations to enhance future projects and ensure successful clinical integration.

Traditional reinforcement learning (RL) methods for optimal control of nonlinear processes often face challenges, such as high computational demands, long training times, and difficulties in ensuring the safety of closed-loop systems during training. To address these issues, this work proposes a safe transfer RL (TRL) framework. The TRL algorithm leverages knowledge from pretrained source tasks to accelerate learning in a new, related target task, significantly reducing both learning time and computational resources required for optimizing control policies.
