Magnetic sensors track muscle length

Using a new technology, researchers hope to create better control systems for prosthetic limbs. Using a simple set of magnets, MIT researchers have come up with a sophisticated way to…

New flexible, steerable device placed in live brains by minimally invasive robot

The early-stage research tested the delivery and safety of the new implantable catheter design in two sheep to determine its potential for use in diagnosing and treating diseases in the brain. If…

New strategy enables targeted treatment of rheumatoid arthritis

The high level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) microenvironment and its persistent inflammatory nature can promote damage to joints, bones, and the synovium. Strategies that…

New diagnostic tool could deliver health test results in two minutes

Scientists at Swansea University developing a platform that would use Artificial Intelligence to speed up the process of detecting biomarkers in biofluids have shown that the concept could work.  It would mean faster test results for…

Novel PET imaging agent detects earliest signs of Alzheimer’s disease

A new highly selective PET imaging agent can detect the presence of overexpressed monoamine oxidase-B (MAO-B) in cognitively unimpaired individuals with high beta amyloid (Aβ)—one of the earliest signs of…

Deep learning tool identifies bacteria in micrographs

Omnipose is trained to recognize bacteria of all shapes and sizes in mixed bacterial cultures. Omnipose, a deep learning software, is helping to solve the challenge of identifying varied and…
