3D-printed cardiac patch encourages tissue repair using structural mesh and hydrogel with living cells
A new type of tissue-engineered cardiac patch could not only seal defective areas of the heart, as has been the case up to now, but also heal them. An interdisciplinary team led by ETH Zurich has successfully implanted the patch in animals.
AbbVie receives marketing authorization from MHRA
AbbVie has announced that it has received marketing authorisation from the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for ELAHERE (mirvetuximab soravtansine) as monotherapy for the treatment of eligible adult patients with folate receptor-alpha (FRα) positive, platinum-resistant high-grade serous epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer who have received one to three prior systemic treatment regimens.
Respiree secures FDA 510(k) extension for cardio-respiratory wearable
The RS001 chest-worn device directly measures respiration and provides passive cardio-respiratory monitoring.
Body Vision Medical Secures HSA Approval for AI-Powered LungVision Platform in Singapore
Regulatory green light marks full commercial launch of LungVision, enhancing early lung cancer detection through AI-driven 3D imaging for more precise bronchoscopic diagnostics.
Bracco Imaging’s SonoVue® Secures NMPA Approval for HyCoSy Use in China, Enhancing Non-Invasive Infertility Diagnostics
Regulatory milestone supports China’s reproductive health goals by enabling radiation-free, high-accuracy ultrasound imaging to assess fallopian tube patency and uterine abnormalities in women.
Deep learning model predicts microsatellite instability in tumors and flags uncertain cases
One in every three people is expected to have cancer in their lifetime, making it a major health concern for mankind. A crucial indicator of the outcome of cancer is its tumor microsatellite status—whether it is stable or unstable. It refers to how stable the DNA is in tumors with respect to the number of mutations within microsatellites.
Stem cells created from ALS patients point to potential new target for treatment
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is an incurable neurological disorder affecting motor neurons—nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that control voluntary muscle movement and breathing.
New technique uses focused sound waves and holograms to control brain circuits
A new study provides the first visual evidence showing that brain circuits in living animals can be activated by ultrasound waves projected into specific patterns (holograms).
