Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a soft, stretchy skin patch that can be worn on the neck to continuously track…
Reconnecting muscle pairs during amputation gives patients more sensory feedback from the limb. MIT researchers have invented a new type of amputation surgery that can…
A new study reveals how lower temperatures improve the activity of surfactant, a molecular mixture that is essential for breathing. This indicates that therapeutic hypothermia…
A University of Missouri engineer received a grant from the National Science Foundation to plan for large-scale manufacturing of an on-skin, wearable bioelectronic device. One…
Researchers at CU Boulder have developed a new, low-cost wearable device that transforms the human body into a biological battery. The device, described in the journal…
Viruses make copies of themselves during an infection, and new research sheds light on one of the coronavirus molecules that is important for this process,…
Scientists are working toward advances that, using nanotechnology, could lead to a hospital bed or doorknob that naturally destroys viruses. Advances in the fields of…
New method for growing cyanobacteria under Mars-like conditions. NASA, in collaboration with other leading space agencies, aims to send its first human missions to Mars…
3D-bioprinting method enables advanced tissue fabrication by using a yield-stress support bath that holds bioinks in place until they are cured and works with a…
New immunotherapy drug activates the body’s innate immune system to fight cancer. A new nanoparticle-based drug can boost the body’s innate immune system and make…
Division of synthetic gene circuit workloads will make therapy more effective. A new process for inserting synthetic gene circuits into host cells, developed by a…
Analysis reveals genetic control elements that are linked to hundreds of human traits. Twenty years ago this month, the first draft of the human genome…
Nearly pain-free microneedle patch can test for antibodies and more in the fluid between cells. Blood draws are no fun. They hurt. Veins can burst,…
Millions of patients suffering from neurological and mental disorders such as depression, addiction, and chronic pain are treatment-resistant. In fact, about 30% of all major…
When mixed with fluid from a nasal swab or blood sample, these protein sensors emit light within minutes. Scientists have created a new way to…
‘Organs-on-a-chip’ system sheds light on how bacteria in the human digestive tract may influence neurological diseases. In many ways, our brain and our digestive tract…
The method analyzes saliva samples and delivers results in about 10 minutes. Researchers at the University of Arizona are developing a COVID-19 testing method that…
Engineers and oncologists teamed to develop a microfluidic chip capable of capturing the body’s natural killer immune cells to harvest their cancer-killing exosomes. Building on…
