Researchers at the University of Pittsburg School of Medicine have successfully removed liver and prostate cancer fusion genes using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool. Fusion genes are often associated with…
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic’s Cancer Nanotechnology and Tumor Immunology Laboratory have used cancer-fighting nanoparticles to shrink breast tumors in mice. The treatment proved highly effective, both in shrinking tumors…
The Mayo Clinic is pioneering the use of new imaging scans that reveal the firmness of brain tumors and the degree to which they are attached to surrounding brain tissue…
Researchers are developing new methods of incorporating artificial intelligence into diagnostics, allowing physicians to identify diseases far more quickly and start treatment earlier, improving patient outcomes. One area of medicine…
Intermountain Healthcare has announced it has partnered with the Israel-based deep learning company Zebra Medical Vision. The aim of the collaboration is for Zebra Medical Vision machine learning technology to…
A team of Swedish researchers have announced they have successfully 3D printed stem cells and artificially created a material with properties highly similar to human cartilage. The properties of the…
Intel has announced a new competition for developers that will require them to devise a system that can assist with the diagnosis of cervical cancer. The algorithms developed by the…
A new cell manipulation technique has been developed by team of U.S. researchers that allows cells to be deformed in vitro in a highly controllable fashion. In vivo, cells respond…
A protein – CITED2 – that causes cancer cells to kill themselves is showing considerable potential for use in new cancer treatments. All cells require oxygen to function; however, cells…
Researchers at 3D bioprinting firm Organovo have announced that they have successfully bioprinted proximal tubules – tiny vessels found in the nephrons kidney. Proximal tubules play an important role in…
