Smart sense-and-respond bandage for the detection and treatment of wound infections
The TechnologyResearchers at The University of Tennessee have developed a sense-and-respond bandage for autonomous, closed-loop detection, communication, and self-mitigation of wound pathogens. Using an integrated genomic, biomedical, and nanotechnological approach, the inventors have engineered a biochip biosensor that detects the presence of bacterial...

Bioluminescent fish for environmental detection, drug testing, and hobby collectors
The Technology Researchers at the University of Tennessee have developed transgenic luminescent zebrafish. The gene cassette used to create the luminescence can be engineered to express exclusively in the presence of a particular compound or pollutant in the zebrafish’s environment, thus functioning as a bioluminescent environmental reporter. The...
