Researchers at University College London have developed a new technique to treat early prostate cancer: Vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy. Vascular-targeted photodynamic therapy involves injecting a light sensitive drug into a patient’s…
Harvard Medical School researchers have developed implantable microcoils that allow highly specific stimulation of neurons using electromagnetic induction. Neural stimulation has shown promise for the treatment of epilepsy, although researchers…
The CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing tool has been successfully used to correct clotting abnormalities in newborn and adult mice, demonstrating potential of the CRISPR system for the treatment of hemophilia in…
People suffering from congenital eye diseases and individuals who have injured their eyes in accidents could improve their vision with a smart contact lens containing an artificial iris. The smart…
An innovative microfluidic skin patch has been developed by a research team at Northwestern University that is capable of monitoring the health of patients during exercise by analyzing their sweat….
Chemotherapy can help in the fight against certain forms of brain cancer, although the treatment is far from ideal and improving brain cancer survival rates is notoriously difficult. Brain tumors…
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…
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…
Parkinson’s disease symptoms can be reduced using non-invasive brain simulation, according to a team of researchers from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. A technique that can improve Parkinson’s disease patients’…
