Naama Elefant, a PhD student from the Hebrew University, was named one of this year’s winners of the Barenholz Prizes for Creativity and Originality in Applied Computer Science and Computational Biology for the discovery of a new mechanism by which ...
Scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have developed customized microscopic magnets called microtags that might one day be injected into the body and make magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) colorful. ...
The Texas based Company Motion Computing has recently announced that its clinically oriented C5 tablet PC has been upgraded and fortified with a new solid-state drive (SSD). The C5 also includes integrated mobile broadband that extends its usability to the ...
A research team from the Hadassah Medical Organization and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem has developed a method for generating a personalized melanoma vaccination. The vaccination is targeted at patients in the early stages of tumor development and for patients ...
A group of scientists from the School of Medicine at the University of California (UCLA), Los Angeles has shown that a drug usually used in patients after organ transplantations has reversed signs of mental retardation in mice. The scientists hope ...
A research team from Rochester University in New York lead by Steven Goldman has successfully injected human brain stem cells into mice suffering from lack of myelin and cured them. The mice, showing symptoms like shivering and early death, had ...
Scientists from the California NanoSystems Institute and Northwestern University have developed a nanovalve that releases drugs under certain conditions, like different pH levels. The valve can be used for targeted drug delivery to cells differing in their physiological characters or ...
A new method for efficient embryonic stem cell differentiation may contribute to the development of techniques for using stem cells as ‘spare parts’ for body organs and tissues. In a study conducted at the Georgia Institute of Technology, researchers found ...
Psychologists at The University of Manchester, working together with a team from the University’s School of Computer Science, have developed a powerful super computer to mimic the part of the brain that controls speech and language functions to better understand ...
Mobile phone usage has been associated to a number of diseases; however, causal relations have not been proved yet. A pilot human volunteer study, conducted by the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK), has recently revealed that exposure of ...
