With support from the National Science Foundation, Liangfang Zhang and his team at UC-San Diego have created a nanosponge to combat drug-resistant infections, such as those caused by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The nanosponge, made from biocompatible, biodegradable polymer nanoparticles, is camouflaged with a red blood cell membrane. It circulates in the bloodstream, absorbing the toxins produced by infection. Once the nanosponges are fully loaded with toxins, they are safely disposed of by the liver. They are designed to work with any type of infection or poison that attacks the cellular membrane. Part of the National Science Foundation Series “Science Nation.”

The heart is a pump, moving blood throughout the body via arteries and veins. Uses graphics to clarify the circulatory system and its functions. Notes the effects of exercise, nutrition, smoking, and infections on this system, and briefly illustrates coagulation, nosebleeds, and vaccinations.
Wearing a mask is a cheap and easy way to help stop the spread of airborne infections like COVID-19. Here's some slow-motion Schlieren imaging experiments to demonstrate why masks work. Part of the "It's Okay to Be Smart" series. Please note this title contains mature themes and references.
Mosquitoes spread several viruses, including Dengue, Chikungunya, Yellow Fever, and Zika. Health officials are developing various methods to help reduce the spread of infections. One of those methods is to produce genetically modified mosquitoes that, when released into the wild, reproduce with wild mosquitoes and cause their offspring to die.
The body's internal defense system is an extraordinarily complex and efficient mechanism. The lymphatic system is the key to the human body's immune response. Through the activation of the blood and lymphatic circulation system, many infections are successfully fought off before they gain hold in the body. Illustrates what happens when a man is infected with the common cold.
Offers commonsense tips and step-by-step demonstrations on dog care as an alternative to high veterinary bills. Highlights include: toenail maintenance; treating infections and cuts; eye, teeth, and ear care; dry and itchy skin; and dietary considerations. NOTE: Demonstrates how to empty anal glands.
Researchers see promise in using an off-the-shelf fabric in athletic coaching and physical therapy, and another group of scientists are studying how pyroclastic flows defy friction. Other segments include new techniques to test for viral infections and the design of a new robot. Part of the "4 Awesome Discoveries You Probably Didn't Hear About This Week" series.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams, graphics, and labels. For this particular video, students will focus on single gene disorders which cause genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis, fragile X syndrome, and muscular dystrophy. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
The body is like a self-supporting hospital, able to deal with its own with wounds, bacterial invasions, fractures, and obstructions to its various passages. Follows the sequence of events over seconds and weeks when skin or bone is damaged, and shows the defensive reactions of blood clotting, fever, and mending of bone fractures.
Most people view antibiotics as miracle drugs. They can get rid of a whole range of infections. But because they are prescribed for so many different ailments, they are easy to overuse. The medical community is now at a crisis point because many of them simply don’t work anymore. Scientists are hunting urgently for new antibiotics--a challenge that is taking them to some remote and unusual places.
