Researchers warn of the potential social, ethical, and legal consequences of technologies interacting heavily with human brains. Surpassing the biological limitations of the brain and…
The design could lead to conformable wearable monitors to track skin cancer and other conditions. MIT engineers and researchers in South Korea have developed a…
Diagnostic nanoparticles could be used to monitor tumor recurrence after treatment or to perform routine cancer screenings. Most of the tests that doctors use to…
Columbia and Northwestern engineers use electric fields to induce oscillations in tiny particles; this motion could be used by researchers to develop microrobots. A challenging…
Results from a TGen-led international study suggest that SARS-CoV-2 takes advantage of genetic changes among patients with pre-existing lung diseases. The results of a study…
Researchers have found a way to enhance radiation therapy using novel iodine nanoparticles. Cancer cell death is triggered within three days when X-rays are shone…
Researchers could rapidly obtain high-resolution images of blood vessels and neurons within the brain. To create high-resolution, 3D images of tissues such as the brain,…
Instant COVID Sensor to Prevent Outbreaks and Protect Communities RMIT University is collaborating with partners including Australian biomedical start-up Soterius on the biosensor, which can…

Wireless, fully implantable device gives temporary pacing without requiring removal. Bioresorption bypasses need to extract non-biodegradable leads, eliminating additional risk to patient Pacemaker is remotely…
Researchers at the UAB and the UniZar have identified a human peptide found in the brain that blocks the α-synuclein aggregates involved in Parkinson’s disease…
Platform could also predict COVID-19 case severity and immunity against variants. Biomedical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a tablet-sized device that can reliably detect…
Implant surface topography can influence the development of scarring, inflammation, and other complications, researchers find. Every year, about 400,000 people receive silicone breast implants in…
The sensor technology could also be used to create clothing that detects a variety of pathogens and other threats. Engineers at MIT and Harvard University…
MIT engineers used kirigami-style etching to design a stent that can temporarily lodge in tubular organs to release drugs. Inspired by kirigami, the Japanese art…
Patients will be able to receive confirmed diagnosis at the doctor’s office. The idea of visiting the doctor’s office with symptoms of an illness and…
Six-year effort includes researchers from Rice, MD Anderson, Baylor College of Medicine. Rice University bioengineers collaborated on a six-year study that systematically analyzed how the…
Two teams of scientists from the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, have won first and second place in NASA’s…
