Michigan State University scientists have built tiny beating heart organoids that can be driven into atrial fibrillation with inflammation and brought back toward a steady rhythm with drugs. The model finally gives researchers human based tissue to study arrhythmias, speed drug discovery and move toward personalized heart treatments.

Scientists have engineered a “color-coded” strain of Asian tiger mosquitoes where males are dark and females are pale, allowing quick and accurate sex separation for disease control programs. The system adds a built-in safety feature, since pale females lay eggs that die if they dry out, reducing the risk of modified mosquitoes spreading in the wild.
