MyWear: A Novel Smart Garment for Automatic Continuous Vital Monitoring

Description: Accepted Manuscript version of an article presenting the design and development of a smart garment called MyWear that continuously monitors and collects physiological data. It can analyze muscle activity, stress levels, and heart rate variations and send all the data to the cloud. With a in-built alert system, it can notify the associated medical officials if necessary. The authors also propose a deep neural network model that classifies heartbeat data into abnormalities with 96.9% accuracy and… more

A gene-editing/complementation strategy for tissue-specific lignin reduction while preserving biomass yield

Description: This article develops a method, using a single DNA construct that uses CRISPR–Cas9 gene editing to knock-out expression of an endogenous gene of lignin monomer biosynthesis while at the same time expressing a modified version of the gene’s open reading frame that escapes cutting by the Cas9 system and complements the introduced mutation in a tissue-specific manner. This method is applicable to any plant species in which transformation and gene editing are feasible and validated vessel-specific … more
