Technology breakthrough has potential to transform wide range of disciplines from immunology and genomics research to cell-based therapeutics. BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE: BDX),…
The targeted approach eliminated tumors in mice, with minimal side effects. Stimulating the body’s immune system to attack tumors is a promising way to treat…
Using Only 100 Atoms, Electric Fields Can Be Detected and Changed USC Viterbi researchers create first nano-sized, molecular device potentially capable of sensing and altering…
Scientists develop plant-based ‘hairy nanocrystals’ to remove excess chemotherapy drugs from the blood. Millions of people around the globe are affected by cancer each year;…
Tim Cope and Nick Housley unravel the neural pathways behind complex sensory and motor side effects of chemotherapy. Severe and persistent disability often undermines the…
Researchers invented a technique that combines bioprinting with cryopreservation to construct frozen, cell-laden structures that can be used in tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and drug…
When it comes to studying lungs, humans take up all the air, but it turns out scientists have a lot to learn from lizards. A…
What makes pancreatic cancer so deadly is its covert and quick spread. Now, a “time machine” built by Purdue University engineers has shown a way…
Scientists from McGill University develop new biomaterial for wound repair. Combining knowledge of chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering, scientists from McGill University develop a biomaterial…
Release of TT-10 from nanoparticles improved heart function after a heart attack, accompanied by increased cardiomyocyte proliferation and smaller infarct size in a mouse model….
A University of Minnesota Medical School study indicates this method could be a new approach to treating a variety of severe mental illnesses. In a…
eToeholds are engineered control elements that could make RNA therapeutics safer, cell therapies more effective, and enable novel forms of biodetection. RNAs are best known…
Skoltech researchers have proposed a method for interpreting brain activity data that proved to be up to five times more accurate than the conventionally used technique…
A new RNA-based control switch could be used to trigger production of therapeutic proteins to treat cancer or other diseases. Researchers at MIT and Harvard…
Single-use diagnostic tests often aren’t practical for health professionals or patients in resource-limited areas, where cost and waste disposal are big concerns. So, researchers reporting…
By combining chemotherapy, tumor injury, and immunotherapy, researchers show that the immune system can be re-engaged to destroy tumors in mice. Immunotherapy is a promising…
MIT engineers devised a way to count elusive circulating tumor cells in mice, allowing them to study the dynamics of metastasis. As tumors grow within…
