Recent Advances in Sex and Reproductive Physiology

Recent advances in biomimetic sensing technologies.

The importance of biological materials has long been recognized from the molecular level to higher levels of organization. Whereas, in traditional engineering, hardness and stiffness are considered desirable properties in a material, biology makes considerable and advantageous use of softer, more pliable resources. The development, structure and mechanics of these materials are well documented ...

Recent Advances in Wireless Localization Technologies

Most wireless devices manufactured today are equipped with a plurality of sensors and communication capabilities. Handheld devices can nowadays connect through multiple communication networks, such as 3G/LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, WiMax, UWB, etc. They are also capable of sensing the environment, taking still images or videos, finding their location, detecting hand movements via acceleromete...

Recent advances in DNA assembly technologies.

DNA assembly is one of the most important foundational technologies for synthetic biology and metabolic engineering. Since the development of the restriction digestion and ligation method in the early 1970s, a significant amount of effort has been devoted to developing better DNA assembly methods with higher efficiency, fidelity, and modularity, as well as simpler and faster protocols. This rev...
