Paving the way for diagnostics

Chemists at the University of Jena develop graphene-based biosensor. Just like other biosensors, a graphene-based biosensor requires a functionalised surface on which only specific molecules can attach. If, for example,…

Nanorobot hand made of DNA grabs viruses

…for diagnostics and blocks cell entry. A tiny, four-fingered “hand” folded from a single piece of DNA can pick up the virus that causes COVID-19 for highly sensitive rapid detection…

Clinically validated, wearable ultrasound patch

… for continuous blood pressure monitoring. A team of researchers at the University of California San Diego has developed a new and improved wearable ultrasound patch for continuous and noninvasive…

Scientists transform blood into regenerative materials

… paving the way for personalized, blood-based, 3D-printed implants. Scientists have created a new ‘biocooperative’ material based on blood, which has shown to successfully repair bones, paving the way for…

AI to improve brain cancer diagnosis, monitoring, treatment

Recommendations published in The Lancet Oncology call for good clinical practice of new technologies to modernize decades-old standard of care for brain cancer patients. An international, multidisciplinary team of leading…

Robotic-assisted surgery for genital prolapse shows promise

UKB robotically suspends cervix with a body’s own tendon. If a woman’s pelvic floor is severely weakened, the uterus and vagina may descend. As a result, affected women suffer from…
