The boundaries between biology and technology are becoming blurred. Researchers at Linköping, Lund, and Gothenburg universities in Sweden have successfully grown electrodes in living tissue using the body’s molecules as triggers. The result, published in the journal Science, paves the way for the formation of fully integrated electronic circuits in living organisms. “For several decades, we have tried to...

Imaging of a living brain can help clearly differentiate between two types of dementia
by Champalimaud Centre for the Unknown SPECT images, superimposed on a magnetic resonance atlas, of an axial slice (top row) and a sagittal slice (bottom row) of the human brain, with a quantitative artificial-color scale showing the differences in the average distribution of the radioactive compound [123I]FP-CIT in the striatum of healthy controls, Alzheimer’s disease,...
