These things are like incredibly tiny propellers. “In the new study, the group deployed fleets of these machines to transport doses of dexamethasone, a common steroid medication, to the bladders of lab mice. The results suggest that microrobots may be […]
Not only is this an incredible feel-good story, it’s also fascinating just how far scientists have progressed at manipulating our bodies with electric signaling. “When Oskam thinks about walking, the skull implants detect electrical activity in the cortex, the outer […]
After surgery, the drug improved survival rates from 78% to 88%. “Overall, there was a 51% lower risk of death for those who received osimertinib compared with those who received placebo.” ~ learn more
It’s a small sample size of 6 people who had electrodes implanted into their brains. “The following morning they all performed better on the memory test than they had after a night with no stimulation.” ~ learn more
So incredible! “A new method of heart transplantation that uses machines to reanimate donor hearts from people who have died is just as good as traditional heart transplantation, a new study finds. If adopted broadly in the U.S., the procedure […]
“They found that the chemical was clastogenic; that is, it directly caused DNA strand breakages. If left unrepaired or improperly repaired by the body, damaged DNA strands can lead to cancer. And their testing showed that sucralose-6-acetate negatively affected human […]
“The novel gadget may lead to minimally invasive ways to investigate the brain and implant brain-computer interfaces, researchers say.” ~ learn more
“Measuring gut metabolites in stool is like studying an elephant by examining its tail,” said Envivo Bio’s Dari Shalon, inventor of the capsule. “The device consists of a polymer shell which contains a collapsed fluid-collection bladder. When the capsule is […]
“For some time now, it has been observed that wounds with a zig-zag pattern heal faster than those which simply form a straight line. Scientists have now determined why this is the case, and their findings could change the ways […]
“In a new study, researchers were able to stage the disease using atomic force microscopy to visualize the size and shape of these clumps, which may provide a way of detecting the debilitating disease earlier.” ~ learn more
