Common respiratory infections such as influenza and Covid-19 can awaken dormant breast cancer cells that have spread to the lungs, setting the stage for new metastatic tumors, new research finds.
How cancer cells survive the journey through the body to form metastases is still poorly understood. New insights into how cells survive intense physical stress could pave the way for new treatments.
Melanoma testing could one day be done at home with a skin patch and test strip with two lines, similar to Covid-19 home tests, according to University of Michigan researchers.
In a new joint research center, scientists from Germany and South Korea aim to develop new technologies at the interface of nanoscience, synthetic cell biology, and neuroscience.
Using electrodes implanted in the brain, researchers observed specific brain waves that could serve as a biomarker for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and are an important step towards more targeted treatments.
A new, bacteria-based contrast agent illuminates tumors like a neon sign during surgery, enabling more precise resection and reducing the risk of recurrence.
Through quantitative real-time monitoring of cell spatiotemporal dynamics, or cell changes over time, electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) could be used to predict cancer growth.
By identifying the unique biological signatures that guide AI tissue classification, new research lays the foundation for smart surgical tools with the added feature of biomolecular-level precision.
A new AI-based tool measures cancer aggressiveness by analyzing the ‘stemness’ of tumors – their similarity to pluripotent stem cells. This could pave the way for new therapies.
Korean researchers have developed a wireless implantable drug delivery system that enable chemotherapy drugs to penetrate deep into solid tumors—without harming surrounding healthy tissue.
Beyond the visible spectrum: A new LED-based hyperspectral imaging system shows promise for gastrointestinal cancer detection during endoscopy.
An implantable device could save diabetes patients from life-threatening hypoglycemia. Remaining under the skin, it can be triggered to release glucagon when blood sugar levels get too low.
A breakthrough in the understanding of how mammals create red blood cells could lead to opportunities for articifical blood to be created at scale for the first time.
In an unconventional, but promising approach to treat neurological conditions like Parkinson, researchers use nanoscale magnetic pull to rebuild lost conncections between brain cells.
A new technique called photoacoustic computed tomography (PACT) offers a breast imaging alternative without the discomfort, high costs, or risk associated with the conventional evaluation methods.
Coating an electronic neural implant with a potent anti-inflammatory drug helps the body better tolerate the implant, improving its long-term performance and stability, according to new research.
Analyzing heart imaging and a full spectrum of medical records, a new AI tool can reveal previously hidden information about a patient’s heart health, including predictions of sudden cardiac arrest.
Molecular markers in saliva could reveal the risk of a person developing major diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases, new research finds.
Muscle tissue undergoes specific changes in space due to the absence of gravity. Investigating these changes opens opportunities for studying sarcopenia, which takes decades to develop on earth.
