Ultrasound-based approach may reduce harmful inflammation and support joint healing
Researchers at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, have published new findings suggesting continuous low-intensity ultrasound may help shift the body’s immune response from prolonged inflammation toward tissue repair, a discovery that could eventually contribute to novel treatments for joint injuries and post-traumatic osteoarthritis.
Hibernation-like cooling after stroke may reduce brain damage
Researchers have now found a way to turn this emergency into a tool to protect the body from the devastating effects of another health emergency—a stroke.
XRlabs Achieves World First in AI-Designed Implants for Conjoined Twin Separation
In partnership with Gemini Untwined, XRlabs’ Surgical Intelligence platform generated custom implants in seconds and enabled successful craniopagus twin separation
Rotating brain waves uncover circular sensory circuits linked to movement and sensation
Spiraling waves of neural activity appear and travel in the brain. Scientists hope to learn if these rotating waves on the move play a global role in sensing and interpreting internal and external stimuli, in laying down memory and in managing motor performance.
FiberSense Receives CE Mark for its New CGM System
FiberSense has announced that its Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) System has obtained CE marking under Regulation (EU) 2017/745 as a Class IIb medical device. The system is intended for continuous monitoring of blood sugar levels and glucose trends in adults with diabetes.
Molecule found on cancer cell surfaces may lead to new therapies
Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have identified a molecule on the surface of cells that could be a promising therapeutic target against cancer.
New anticancer vaccine shows early success in targeting neuroblastoma
A new study from RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences demonstrates a novel approach in anticancer vaccine development. The results, published in Molecular Therapy Oncology, present the first preclinical evidence showing the efficacy of an mRNA vaccine in targeting neuroblastoma, the deadliest childhood cancer.
AI screens 6 million compounds to uncover two leads against drug-resistant gonorrhea
Now, a study published in Science Translational Medicine offers a new strategy capable of identifying chemical compounds that could be further developed into antibiotic therapies with high selectivity for N. gonorrhoeae.
