Wearable Optical Device Distinguishes Blood Flow Signals From the Brain and Scalp

In APL Bioengineering, researchers develop a system that uses optical spectroscopy to measure blood flow noninvasively. Using speckle contrast optical spectroscopy, the device can target different depths to distinguish between blood flow to the scalp and blood flow to the brain.

Seaweed Makes for Eco-Friendly Tissue Scaffolds and Reduces Animal Testing

Seaweed species aren't just crucial parts of marine ecosystems. They also provide numerous health benefits for humans and have been dubbed a superfood. In Biointerphases, an AVS journal published by AIP Publishing, researchers from Oregon State University found yet another use for seaweed as a cheap, vegan, and eco-friendly tissue scaffold.
