Many simulated micro-gravity (micro-G) experiments on earth suggest that micro-G conditions are not compatible with early mammalian embryo development. Recently, the first two "space embryo" studies have been published showing that early mouse embryo development can occur in real microgravity (real micro-G) conditions in orbit. In the first of these studies, published in 2020, Lei and collaborators developed automated mini-incubator (AMI) devices for mouse embryos facilitating cultivation, microscopic observation, and fixation.

Neuromuscular diseases pose significant health and economic challenges, necessitating innovative monitoring technologies for personalizable treatment. Existing devices detect muscular motions either indirectly from mechanoacoustic signatures on skin surface or via ultrasound waves that demand specialized skin adhesion. Here, we report a wireless wearable system, Laryngeal Health Monitor (LaHMo), designed to be conformally placed on the neck for continuously measuring movements of underlying muscles.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the mechanical principles of external fixation and resistance training for wrist rehabilitation after a distal radius fracture (DRF).
- It proposes two wearable exoskeleton devices: an adjustable fixation device (AFD) for early-stage protection and mobilization, and a resistance training device (RTD) for later-stage muscle recovery.
- Experimental tests indicate that the AFD effectively monitors joint angles and the RTD enhances muscle strength, supporting active rehabilitation for DRF patients.

Three-dimensional (3D) printing promises a revolution in laboratory creativity by enabling rapid prototyping, broader availability of scientific apparatuses, and transformative scientific workflows. We believe all chemistry and biology laboratories should equip themselves with one or more 3D printers and a critical mass of scientists trained to operate them. This overview surveys the techniques, intricacies, and pitfalls associated with 3D printing of functional parts, including measurements, computer-aided design, slicing, limitations of 3D printing, troubleshooting, tips for tricky filaments, and 3D printer maintenance.

Breathing and urination, are vital physiological activities of the human body, continuous real-time monitoring of these physiological behaviors could offer timely feedback on an individual's health status. However, current monitoring techniques predominantly rely on cumbersome and intricate medical apparatuses, posing challenges in adapting to the diverse requirements of multi-scenario detection. Consequently, there is a growing interest in developing wearable devices capable of monitoring breathing and urination.
