Novel device combines nanopores with electronic signals for disease detection

In living organisms, cells have a very high capacity to process and communicate information by moving molecules or ions through tiny channels that span the cell membrane. UC Santa Cruz…

Visualizing nerves with photoacoustic imaging

Scientists investigate the unique absorption spectra of myelinated nerves as a way to visualize and differentiate them from their surroundings. Invasive medical procedures, such as surgery requiring local anesthesia, often…

AI performs comparably to human readers of mammograms

Using a standardized assessment, researchers in the UK compared the performance of a commercially available artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm with human readers of screening mammograms. Results of their findings were…

Making aortic prostheses suitable for surgery with spider aid

MHH researchers are working on vascular prostheses made from the blood protein fibrin. The biocompatible alternative to synthetic plastic prostheses is now to be made increasingly fit for clinical use…

Transistor measures glucose in saliva

A prototype sensor that measures glucose levels in saliva could eventually offer a simple, rapid and painless way for people to monitor their diabetes, according to the KAUST researchers behind…

We’re closer to engineering blood vessels

University of Melbourne researchers have developed a fast, inexpensive and scalable method for engineering blood vessels from natural tissue. Co-led by ARC Future Fellow Associate Professor Daniel Heath and Redmond…
