Lab-grown mini-brains shed light on childhood epilepsy
Researchers from the MOSAIC team at the Paris Brain Institute have developed mosaic human cortical organoids carrying mutations in the DEPDC5 gene in order to model focal cortical dysplasia.
New imaging tools help cancer researchers see inside living cells
The research, published in Nature Methods, introduces a series of fluorescent dyes that make it much easier to take ultra‑detailed images of living cells.
This shrimp-inspired camera sees hidden cancer spread and could transform how surgeons remove lymph nodes
Researchers have developed a compact camera that captures ultraviolet, near-infrared, and visible images using a single chip.
A two-way brain interface could help restore walking after paralysis by linking thoughts, robotic legs and sensation
A team is building a fully implantable brain-computer interface (BCI) that allows patients to use their thoughts to control wearable robotic legs
These lab-grown insulin cells reverse diabetes in mice and clear a major hurdle for type 1 treatment
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet and KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden have developed an improved method for creating insulin-producing cells from human stem cells.
A Future Nasal Spray Could Help Reverse Brain Aging and Restore Memory — At Least in Early Tests
Aging doesn’t just slow the body. It can quietly cloud the mind. For many people, that shows up as brain fog, with slower thinking, fading memory, and a growing sense that the brain isn’t working quite like it used to.
With navigating nematodes, scientists map out how brains implement behaviors
MIT scientists create a detailed map of exactly what happens in the brains of C. elegans worms when they “follow their nose” to savor attractive odors or avoid unappealing ones.
Phantom Neuro secures approval for muscle-machine interface trial
The CYBORG study aims to assess the efficacy, safety and usability of the system.
