Groundbreaking discoveries and inventions in the Life Sciences advancing Evidence Based Medicine
Terahertz radiation – or submillimeter radiation – scanners have tremendous potential for use in biomedical imaging. Terahertz radiation occupies a band of frequencies from 0.3 to 3 terahertz, falling between…
CRISPR-Cas9 gene therapy has been shown to be effective in vitro, although until now the gene editing technique has not been used in vivo in humans. However, a group of…
An HIV testing USB stick has been developed that can test viral levels in the blood without the need for expensive laboratory equipment. The single use device, which is about…
A team of researchers from New York and Beijing have developed a conformable neural interface device that can be wrapped around the brain and used to monitor local field potentials…
Heart blood flow modelling could be used by cardiologists to study blood flow in the atrium of patients with heart disease to assess stroke risk, according to researchers at Johns…
Hawaii-based company TruTag Technologies has developed optical microtags that could be used to authenticate drugs and tackle the growing problem of counterfeit pharmaceuticals. Counterfeit drugs are causing hundreds of deaths…
The speed that neurons communicate, approximately 10 milliseconds, has proved incredibly difficult to replicate with microfluidics and other fluid transport systems. It is possible to use these technologies to mimic…
Researchers at Brown University have developed a new imaging technique that can be used to help identify cells that have undergone cancerous changes from healthy cells. The single cell analysis…
Researchers at Cardiff University’s Systems Immunity Research Institute have developed a new method of predicting the risk of developing a severe form of fatty liver disease. The team hopes to…
A new method for 3D printing biomaterials for tissue engineering has been developed by researchers at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. Current techniques for shaping biomaterials are limited to soft…
