New medium-cutoff Dialyzer with a Super High-flux membrane brings NIPRO’s approach to expanded hemodialysis to United States healthcare providers.
A joint research team led by professors Sungsu Park of Sungkyunkwan University and Sun-Ha Paek of Seoul National University College of Medicine has demonstrated for the first time that the sequence in which immune cells interact with cancer cells can critically influence the therapeutic response in glioblastoma.
Many people who survive a heart attack will later develop heart failure due to the scarring that occurs as the heart heals.
A previously unknown microprotein hidden within the human mitochondrial genome may help explain certain forms of type 2 diabetes and could point toward a new precision medicine approach to treating it, according to a new USC study.
A scientific collaboration between the University of Bath (UK) and the UMass Chan Medical School (U.S.) has determined how a specific type of white blood cell—neutrophils—moves through the body.
A gene-editing tool designed to precisely rewrite the gene that causes Huntington’s disease reduced toxic protein fragments and symptoms associated with the disease in mice, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign report.
Specialized cells in the human body make biological trade-offs to perform certain jobs. Because the adult human heart cannot repair itself the way skin does, scientists have studied ways to “reprogram” heart cells to regenerate after heart attacks.
A single IV injection of a microRNA-based biologic developed by Guangping Gao, Ph.D., Robert H. Brown Jr., DPhil, MD, Jun Xie, Ph.D., and Zuoshang Xu, MD, Ph.D., suppressed production of the mutant SOD1 protein that causes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), delayed disease onset by 60 days and extended lifespan by 100 days—more than tripling the average survival time—in mouse models of the disease.
Deep wounds are vulnerable to bacterial infection and the accumulation of harmful molecules called reactive oxygen species (ROS), which damage cells and disrupt normal repair mechanisms.
Biosensors have revolutionized home health care over the past two decades. Devices like wearable heart rate and blood glucose monitors are giving people with chronic health conditions the information and assurance they need to maintain an active lifestyle. But even the best sensors are limited by their ability to sustain skin contact through the rigors of physical activity.
