Wearable X-ray-detecting fabric offers a flexible alternative to current imaging tech
Since their discovery by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895, X-rays have become a staple of modern medical care, from imaging teeth and broken bones to screening for the early signs of breast cancer.
Scientists create first mini-lungs with built-in blood vessels, unlocking new insights for pulmonary vascular disease
UCLA researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs from stem cells—complete with their own functioning blood vessel networks.
New cell signaling pathway found to shield blood vessels from hypertension damage
By creating artificial aging in mice, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have been able to track the formation of aneurysms in the walls of blood vessels.
Coupling two methods opens up new possibilities in early detection of colorectal cancer
The number of colorectal cancer cases in people under 50 is rising worldwide, especially in high-income countries. Possible causes include Western diets, obesity, lack of exercise, and the use of antibiotics, especially in early life and adolescence.
Engineered cell cross-talk unlocks CAR-T potential against glioblastoma
A team of researchers from the San Raffaele-Telethon Institute for Gene Therapy (SR-TIGET, Milan), led by Nadia Coltella and Luigi Naldini, has unveiled a powerful strategy to rejuvenate the effectiveness of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy against glioblastoma, one of the most lethal and treatment-resistant brain tumors.
AI predicts patients likely to die of sudden cardiac arrest
A new AI model is much better than doctors at identifying patients likely to experience cardiac arrest. The linchpin is the system’s ability to analyze long-underused heart imaging, alongside a full spectrum of medical records, to reveal previously hidden information about a patient’s heart health.
