Researchers at Duke University and Emory University have recently inspected one of the newer applications for brain scans: improving marketing efforts. Using sophisticated imaging of the human brain while it is subject to commercial stimulus could provide significant data for ...
Researchers from the Johns Hopkins Engineering in Oncology Center have recently shown that in healthy cells, a bundled âcapâ of thread-like fibers holds the cellâs nucleus in its proper place. The nucleus includes the cellâs genetic storehouse, and understanding the ...
Researchers at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois are developing systems to translate brain activity into real time muscle movements. Combining functional electrical stimulation (FES) and a neural implant, the new system could allow people paralyzed because of spinal cord damage ...
Researchers at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City and Duke University in Durham, North Carolina are developing a polymer gel capable of blocking the HIV virus. The gel meshes with semen to create a shield that blocks the ...
Researchers at Orthomimetics of Cambridge, England have developed a joint replacement scaffold that coaxes the joint bones and surrounding cartilage tissue to slowly regrow rather than relying on permanent metal replacement joints. Based on new materials developed at Cambridge University ...
Researchers at the University of Utah have developed a new glue that sticks to bone and other wet surfaces. The glue, based on the adhesive used by sandcastle worms building their underwater homes, turns from liquid to solid as it ...
3M Solutions has recently unveiled the Littmann Electronic Stethoscope, Model 3100, an innovative, wireless medical accessory that utilizes Bluetooth communication in order to provide medical caregivers an easier method to auscultate. The Littmann Electronic Stethoscope, Model 3100 (Credit: 3M Solutions) ...
Collaboration between the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College in London, and its Mechatronics in Medicine Laboratory, has yielded the Bloodbot project, in which a robot has been designed to take blood samples from the ante-cubital fossa (ACF). Such ...
Philipsâ new intelligent pill (iPill) technology has the potential to take intelligent drug delivery to the next level. As the first pill that combines technologies for localized drug release with the ability to measure the internal environment and communicate this ...
Researchers from University Hospital Zurich and the Israeli company Insightec Ltd. have developed a new type of brain surgery using high intensity ultrasound beams to precisely heat and destroy damaged brain tissue. Their procedure eliminates the need to cut through ...
