A novel PET technique that visualizes spinal cord injuries provides critical information about which patients may be able to regain mobility, according to new research published in the February issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine. By detecting intact nerve connections in the injured spinal cord, a newly developed radiotracer has the potential to help diagnose injuries more precisely, monitor recovery, and evaluate the effectiveness of new therapies in clinical trials.

UroMems announced that the entire treatment cohort in the first-of-its-kind study in female patients successfully reached its primary endpoints.

When even the most highly trained surgeons perform procedures on the retina—one of the smallest, most delicate parts of the human body—the stakes are high. Surgeons must account for patients’ breathing, snoring, and eye movements, along with their own involuntary hand tremors, while they work on a layer of cells less than a millimeter thick.

Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is a valuable method for diagnosing a range of cardiac conditions, but there is a risk of complications due to its invasive nature. Researchers have now found a way to combine right ventricular (RV) septal EMB, exploiting the benefit of 3D curved conduction system pacing (CSP) sheaths, with subsequent cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED, devices like pacemakers or defibrillators to regulate heart rhythm) implantation, using the same sheath.

DUBLIN, Ohio, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Atreon Orthopedics, LLC, a Columbus based innovator in tissue healing and regenerative technologies, announces the 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the full market launch of BioCharge® Autobiologic Matrix, a bioresorbable synthetic implant designed to address biological failure modes in rotator cuff repair while improving repair integrity and long-term patient outcomes.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Lynx Dx, a leader in innovative diagnostic solutions, today announced the commercial launch of MyProstateScore 2.0 (MPS2) for at-home collection by patients. The test kit, ordered by a physician, is now available to patients and is eligible for Medicare reimbursement.

FragFold, developed by MIT Biology researchers, is a computational method with potential for impact on biological research and therapeutic applications.

Melbourne-based scientists have, for the first time, discovered how to “switch off” a molecule which is one of the top culprits behind prostate cancer, and is also linked to lung and kidney cancers.
