High-performance 937-nm laser: see deeper with lower power

High-performance laser offers a new kind of light source for multiphoton microscopy, requiring only 10 mW of power to image tissue at depths of over 600 µm. Two-photon microscopy (2PM)…

The blood stem cell research that could change medicine of the future

Biomedical engineers and medical researchers at UNSW Sydney have independently made discoveries about embryonic blood stem cell creation that could one day eliminate the need for blood stem cell  donors….

Nanorattles shake up new possibilities for disease detection

New nanoparticle shape can greatly enhance signals from multiple separate biomarkers at once, accurately detecting head and neck cancers without biopsies to improve global health. Researchers at Duke University have…

Pipes two million times smaller than an ant

World’s tiniest plumbing could one day funnel drugs to individual human cells. Working on microscopic pipes only a millionth as wide as a single strand of human hair, Johns Hopkins…

Artificial breathing system reveals alveoli function in lungs

Chip mimics inhalation and exhalation, allowing scientists to study flow patterns in the bronchial network. Alveoli are the basic functional units of the human respiratory system, acting as tiny air…

Ultrasound color Doppler twinkling in commercial breast biopsy markers

Ultrasound color Doppler twinkling may aid the detection of certain biopsy markers in metastatic axillary nodes that resume normal morphology after neoadjuvant systemic therapy. According to ARRS’ American Journal of…
