Scientists have developed an ingestible, light-emitting capsule that can detect life-threatening intestinal blood flow problems in their earliest stages. The device could offer doctors a faster and less invasive way to diagnose acute mesenteric ischaemia.
Scientists have created a flexible brain implant, called SPIRAL, capable of delivering drugs to multiple regions with pinpoint accuracy.
Researchers have developed bioactive nanoparticles that restore the brain’s blood-brain barrier and clear toxic proteins, reversing Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice and offering a promising new approach to treating the disease.
Penn engineers have built an AI model that creates new antibiotics – and early tests show some work as well as existing approved drugs.
Most gene therapies rely on static DNA promoters to control gene activity, but nature uses far more sophisticated tools. Dr Matthew Dale explores how harnessing RNA-level control could enable treatments that sense and respond in real time, offering unprecedented precision and safety.
Researchers at UC San Diego have discovered a graphene-based technology that accelerates the maturation of human brain organoids, offering a safer, non-invasive way to model diseases like Alzheimer’s.
Researchers have developed a 3D-printed ‘skin in a syringe’, using a patient’s own cells to create functional dermis that could change the way we treat severe burns.
Inspired by the gecko lizard’s grip, scientists at CU Boulder have developed a sticky, biodegradable material that clings to tumours and delivers chemotherapy drugs over several days.
UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a new 3D bio-printed lung model that closely mimics the complexity of human tissue – providing scientists with a powerful new tool for studying respiratory diseases.
Researchers at the National University of Singapore have discovered that physically squeezing stem cells through narrow spaces can trigger their transformation into bone-forming cells – potentially allowing for development of new bone repair therapies.
A new “leukaemia-on-a-chip” device replicates human bone marrow and immune interactions, enabling researchers to observe CAR T cell therapies in action - potentially allowing for more personalised treatment strategies for leukaemia patients.
Researchers at POSTECH have developed a new 3D brain model that closely mimics the structure and function of human brain tissue – marking a major advance in early disease detection.
Researchers at Southern Medical University have developed a self-propelled ferroptosis nanoinducer that penetrates deeper into tumour tissues - offering a new strategy for safer and more effective cancer treatment.
Stanford scientists have successfully grown heart and liver organoids that include functioning blood vessels. This breakthrough overcomes a major size and maturity barrier, which could advance disease modelling and regenerative therapies in the future.
EPFL scientists have engineered virus-inspired DNA aptamers that bind infection targets with record selectivity. This innovation could change how we diagnose and treat infectious diseases.
