By Rich Haridy July 11, 2021 Immune T cells sometimes display signs of “exhaustion” becoming less effective at doing their job, but new research may have found a way to wake those tired immune cells up and get them back to workfrenta/Depositphotos An impressive new study from a team of Australian researchers has identified the...
July 26, 2021, 10:08 AM EDT R&D John Carroll Editor & Founder AbbVie picked up some bonus points earlier this year as one of its pipelines adds from the $63 billion Allergan buyout hit its top-line marks. And now the researchers have produced the detailed data on the case they are making with regulators, with...
By Ben Coxworth July 23, 2021 The patch is worn on the neck or chest nature Biomedical Engineering It goes without saying that the earlier someone can be warned of an impending heart attack or stroke, the better. A new skin patch could provide such warnings, by sending ultrasound pulses into the wearer’s body. Building...
By Rich Haridy July 25, 2021 Researchers note it is unclear at this stage how long the cognitive dysfunction could last or what specifically is causing it vectorfusionart/Depositphotos A large new study published in The Lancet journal EClinicalMedicine has detected significant cognitive deficits in recovered COVID-19 patients. The research found the more severe the case, the...

by Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research Graphical abstract. Credit: DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2021.07.002 For decades, a key brain area called the mesencephalic locomotor region has been thought to merely regulate locomotion. Now, researchers in Silvia Arber’s group have shown that the region is involved in much more than walking, as it contains distinct populations of neurons that control...
Nanomaterials have been used in a variety of emerging applications, such as in targeted pharmaceuticals or to bolster other materials and products such as sensors and energy harvesting and storage devices. A team in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis is using nanoparticles as heaters to manipulate the electrical activity...
