Imaging single spine structural plasticity at the nanoscale level

Researchers at the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI) have developed a new imaging technique capable of visualizing the dynamically changing structure of dendritic spines with unprecedented resolution. For…

Portable sequencing platform for SARS-CoV-2 monitoring to developing countries

Genomic sequencing, rare in low-income countries, identifies and tracks variants of the virus that cause COVID-19. Variant tracking enables local governments and hospitals to make better-informed decisions to lower infections…

‘ASCENT’ makes it easier to study the electrical stimulation of nerves

Computational platform allows non-experts to create patient-specific, 3D models of nerves being electrically stimulated. Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed an open-source software platform that automates 3D electrical nerve…

Smart plaster could accelerate the healing of chronic wounds

International cooperation between materials science and medicine develops gel patches from a 3D printer that can be activated individually. Circulatory disorders, diabetes or lying in the same position for extended…

Researchers develop the first steerable catheter for brain surgery

A team of engineers and physicians has developed a steerable catheter that for the first time will give neurosurgeons the ability to steer the device in any direction they want…

Magnets could offer better control of prosthetic limbs

System uses tiny magnetic beads to rapidly measure the position of muscles and relay that information to a bionic prosthesis. For people with amputation who have prosthetic limbs, one of…
