Miniaturized Conductometric Biosensor for Rapid Detection of TNF‐α in Saliva

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
A miniaturized conductometric sensor detects TNF‐α at femtomolar levels with high selectivity. The device enables noninvasive testing using pooled human saliva and supports smartphone‐based, real‐time resistance readings. This portable biosensor offers a practical alternative for monitoring TNF‐α, providing new opportunities for diabetes and related ...

Zooarchaeological Analysis of an Atoll Assemblage From Central Micronesia

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There has been a dearth of archaeological research on atolls in the central‐eastern Caroline Islands of Micronesia. This has limited our understanding of pre‐contact subsistence and settlement strategies in these more marginal and remote environments, particularly in regards to zooarchaeological data.
