STANFORD UNIVERSITY RESEARCHERS FROM THE STANFORD CENTER FOR AEROSPACE AUTONOMY RESEARCH (CAESAR) IN THE ROBOTIC TESTBED, WHICH CAN SIMULATE THE MOVEMENTS OF AUTONOMOUS SPACECRAFT. view moreCREDIT: ANDREW BRODHEAD Small wearable or implantable electronics could help monitor our health, diagnose diseases, and provide opportunities for improved, autonomous treatments. But to do this without aggravating or damaging...
by University of Cincinnati Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public DomainAn international, multisite Phase III trial, co-led by a University of Cincinnati researcher, has found that a Parkinson’s disease medication delivered through an infusion pump is safe and effective at reducing symptoms for longer periods of time. These results, published March 15 in the Lancet Neurology journal, could...

by National Research Council of Science and Technology Collagen microgels—The concept of self-assembling stem cell therapy. Credit: Korea Institute of Science and TechnologyCritical limb ischemia is a condition in which the main blood vessels supplying blood to the legs are blocked, causing blood flow to gradually decrease as atherosclerosis progresses in the peripheral arteries. It...
A new adhesive patch could one day help people with voice disorders speak again by using artificial intelligence to read the movements of their throat muscles and turn them into speech, researchers said Tuesday. The small, stretchy patch is powered solely by muscle movements, the US-based researchers revealed in a study in Nature Communications. Attached...
by Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute Credit: Karolina Grabowska from PexelsGlobally, more than half of patients die after infection with the neglected tropical disease, melioidosis, often before they are diagnosed. A new rapid test could save lives by diagnosing patients in hours rather than several days taken by current bacterial culture methods, meaning they receive the...
by Optica A new photoacoustic imaging watch can acquire high-resolution imaging of blood vessels in the skin. Credit: Lei Xi, Southern University of Science and TechnologyResearchers have developed a photoacoustic imaging watch for high-resolution imaging of blood vessels in the skin. The wearable device could offer a non-invasive way to monitor hemodynamic indicators such as...

DOI: 10.1002/adhm.202302797A KAIST research team has developed an effective wireless system that monitors the wound healing process by tracking the spatiotemporal temperature changes and heat transfer characteristics of damaged areas such as diabetic wounds. The research team led by...
CONN HASTINGS MEDICINE, NANOMEDICINE, ONCOLOGY Scientists at ETH Zurich in Switzerland have unveiled a technique that weaponizes bacterial cells against tumors. The approach involves using bacteria called Magnetospirillum that are naturally magnetic by virtue of the iron oxide particles they contain. The researchers use a rotating magnetic field applied at the tumor location from outside...
