by Bob Yirka , Medical Xpress Preparation and working mechanism of DE stain sensor composed of TPU and HfO2 NPs that could undergo deformation in multidirections as a response to tumor progression, leading to alterations in its electrical impedance. The DE strain sensor is integrated into a smartphone, enabling convenient tracking of the tumor size....

It facilitates potentially life-saving cardiovascular...
EUROPEAN ALLIANCE OF ASSOCIATIONS FOR RHEUMATOLOGY (EULAR) SAIDs are a group of multi-system disorders caused by dysfunction in the innate immune system. A number of these SAIDs are mediated by a cytokine called interleukin-1 (IL-1), including the cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS), tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS), mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD), and deficiency of...

by Laurie Fickman, University of Houston Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain When it comes to cancer detection, size matters. Traditional diagnostic imaging cannot detect tumors smaller than a certain size, causing missed opportunities for early detection and treatment. Circulating tumor exosomes are especially small cancer biomarkers and easy to miss. These nanovesicles are composed of molecules that...
The Software Engineering Lab (SEL) research group at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) has been involved in the development of a tool for monitoring infectious diseases, along with the companies Dantia Tecnología, Viamática and the University of Murcia. The project was funded by the Spanish Ministry of Finance, Industry and Competitiveness and the Centre for the...
