3D genome mapping tool reveals hidden complexity in DNA
Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can reliably reveal these hidden structural variants and lead to new discoveries.
Lab-grown liver model offers a platform to study fibrosis and regeneration
As chronic liver disease becomes more widespread, researchers at Science Tokyo have developed a lab-grown organoid that replicates a regenerating liver, offering new hope for future treatments.
Nerve signal detection method shows potential for intentional control of bionic prostheses
Now, scientists at the Medical University of Vienna and Imperial College London have developed a new method for precisely detecting the nerve signals remaining after an arm amputation and utilizing them to control an artificial arm.
Human kidney organoids successfully integrated into pig kidneys in transplant study
A research team led by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and collaborating with the Biomedical Research Institute of A Coruña (INIBIC), as well as other international research groups, has developed pioneering technology that enables human kidney organoids to be produced in a scalable manner.
A scalpel that can diagnose? Scientists unveil a ‘Lab-on-a-Scalpel’ for real-time surgical insights
Imagine a surgeon in the middle of a complex operation, able to get instant biochemical feedback not from a lab down the hall, but from the very tool in their hand. This vision is now one step closer to reality thanks to researchers at the University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague (UCT Prague).
Magnetic field therapy shows promise in mimicking exercise benefits for type 2 diabetes patients with central obesity
Researchers from Singapore General Hospital (SGH) and National University of Singapore (NUS) found that using pulsed electromagnetic fields to stimulate muscle tissue and mimic the effects of exercise could benefit patients with type 2 diabetes with excess belly fat.
