Paul Blainey’s technology platforms have benefited genomics, diagnostics, and drug screening. Microfluidics — the science of manipulating tiny amounts of fluid through channels — has…
Bacteria and other swimming microorganisms evolved to thrive in challenging environments, and researchers struggle to mimic their unique abilities for biomedical technologies, but fabrication challenges…
EPFL scientists have developed a soft artificial skin that provides haptic feedback and – thanks to a sophisticated self-sensing mechanism – has the potential to…
By creating a microdevice that mimics lung function on single-cell levels, researchers at Rutgers, Yale, and Johns Hopkins have learned more about asthmatic trigger response,…
A Delaware team including Erin Crowgey, PhD, associate director of Bioinformatics with Nemours Biomedical Research, has published a study in the peer-reviewed journal BMC Bioinformatics,…
MIT engineers have developed new technology that could be used to evaluate new drugs and detect possible side effects before the drugs are tested in…
A team of UConn Health researchers has designed a novel, hybrid hydrogel system to help address some of the challenges in repairing bone in the…
Research on HIV over the past decade has led to many promising ideas for vaccines to prevent infection by the AIDS virus, but very few…
New research has demonstrated how the nano-architecture of a silkworm’s fiber causes “Anderson localization of light,” a discovery that could lead to various innovations and…
For some years, scientists have been researching in order to find ways of reducing animal testing and accelerating clinical trials. In vitro assays with living…
Researchers have developed a new way to capture the detailed biomechanical properties of heart tissue. The high-resolution optical technique fills an important technology gap necessary…
Duke engineers have grown the first functioning human muscle from non-muscle cells — in this case skin cells reverted to their primordial stem cell state….
To most, an operating room and a manufacturing plant are as different as any two places can be. But not to Dennis Orgill. “To some…
Researchers from MIT, Harvard Medical School and the Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia have developed a new algorithm that can, with high accuracy, determine whether…
Biomedical engineers from Duke University have grown living skeletal muscle that demonstrates the ability to heal itself both inside the laboratory and inside an animal….
In an effort to improve retinal implant technology, researchers have developed a new method that uses microsecond pulses, on-chip counter-electrodes, and controlled firing of electrodes…
Researchers from Drexel University have developed a microbicide that can trick HIV into “popping” itself into oblivion, destroying the virus without harming healthy cells. Pinning…
New research shows that synthetic silicate nanoplatelets can stimulate stem cells into bone cells without the need of additional bone-inducing factors. Researchers from Harvard-affiliated Brigham…
