An injectable particle could make surgery safer for infants

Biomedical researchers have designed an injectable microgel to help reduce bleeding in infants who require surgical care. In an animal model, the engineered microgel reduced bleeding by at least 50%. The paper, “Hemostatic B-Knob Triggered MicroGels (BK-TriGs) to Address Bleeding in Neonates,” is published in the journal Science Advances.

A redesigned endoscope offers a new way to look for early signs of ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer remains the deadliest gynecologic cancer, largely because it is rarely found early. Symptoms are often vague, and existing screening approaches—such as blood tests and transvaginal ultrasound—can miss the disease at stages when treatment is most effective. In recent years, research has reshaped understanding of how many aggressive ovarian cancers begin, pointing not to the ovary itself, but to the fallopian tubes. That shift has created a need for tools that can safely examine these narrow structures for early changes linked to cancer.
