The adjuvant can help the injectable polio vaccine induce a strong immune response in the GI tract, which is considered critical to eradicating the virus.

The result is NeuroSense, a monitoring system that connects to drainage lines to detect biomarkers of infection, including changes in glucose, lactate and pH, as well as flow rate, as brain fluid moves through them.

MIT engineers have developed a noninvasive pacemaker that stimulates the heart using ultrasound. The design could one day provide a surgery-free alternative to traditional cardiac implants.

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have uncovered the first direct evidence that deep brain stimulation (DBS) can remodel white matter pathways in the brain and alter communication across large-scale neural networks, revealing a previously unrecognized mechanism that may explain how the therapy helps patients recover from severe depression.
