Inspired by how a car uses an engine and a steering wheel to reach its destination, the nanorobot integrates two enzymatic functions. Urease works for propulsion by harnessing endogenous urea in ...

An international research team led by the University of Waterloo is developing technology to dissolve painful kidney stones in the urinary tract using tiny robots. The research is published in the ...

A team of researchers has developed a new biosensor that turns the invisible signals into visible color changes to detect urea levels in a simple way. The sensor works by combining gold nanoparticles ...

Urease, a nickel-dependent metalloenzyme produced by diverse pathogens, catalyses the hydrolysis of urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide, a reaction central to microbial survival in hostile ...

The urea breath test is used to detect Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a type of bacteria that may infect the stomach and is a main cause of ulcers in both the stomach and duodenum (the first part of ...

According to The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020–2025, it’s best to get the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamins and nutrients through a balanced and nutritious diet. This is for many ...
