Rhythio wins FDA breakthrough nod for injectable electrode tech for defibrillation
Rhythio Medical announced today that it received FDA breakthrough device designation for its Injectable Electrode System.

In a surprising discovery, scientists find tiny loops in the genomes of dividing cells
Enabled by a new high-resolution mapping technique, the findings overturn a long-held belief that the genome loses its 3D structure when cells divide.

An LLM that can process and display transmitted cardiac data in real time
In addition to linguistic prompts, large language models can also understand, interpret, and adapt their responses to heart frequency data. Dr. Morris Gellisch, previously of Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, and now at University of Zurich, Switzerland, and Boris Burr from Ruhr University Bochum have developed a technical interface through which the physiological data can be transmitted to the language model in real time.

AI-powered method combines blood data to more accurately measure biological age
Researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) have developed an innovative new way to measure biological age, which could make it easier to detect and track age-related conditions.

Automated algorithm can detect cancer in blood samples in as little as 10 minutes
When cancer spreads, tiny amounts of cells can break away from tumors and circulate in the bloodstream. A liquid biopsy is a means to detect the presence of cancer by detecting these cancer cells floating in blood samples. However, current state-of-the-art methods have necessitated trained specialists to comb through and review images of thousands of cells out of potentially millions of cells on a slide over a period of many hours.

Color Health, Google Cloud team up for breast cancer screening access
The initiative is set to continue until the end of 2025, with backing from Google.org.

Brain Cells on a Computer Chip Offer Advanced Medical Treatments and Use Less Energy
Learn more about the new biological computer that fuses brain cells and computer chips — and uses far less energy. Cortical Labs, a startup based in Australia, has developed what it describes as a “code-deployable biological computer.” Called CL1, the technology is a type of synthetic biological intelligence consisting of a combination of real neural networks and computer chips.
