Tiny fat bubbles carrying gene therapy have successfully repaired DNA in the lungs and liver of animals with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency—a promising leap toward treating humans with this rare inherited disease.
Researchers from Aarhus University—in a major international collaboration—have developed a groundbreaking method that can provide more information from the tissue samples doctors take from patients every day.
Learn how “robot metabolism” allows machines to take material from their surroundings to “grow” and to “heal.”
Two university hospitals are pioneering new ways to expand lifesaving heart transplants for adults and babies—advances that could help recover would-be heart donations that too often go unused.
A scientific team supported in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has developed a new, ultra-high-resolution brain imaging system that can reconstruct microscopic brain structures that are disrupted in neurological and neuropsychiatric brain disorders.
Duke Health has pioneered a world’s-first technique that could expand the donor pool for pediatric heart transplants in the U.S. by up to 20%—offering new hope to families on the waitlist.
Sensome, the pioneer of microsensing technology for real-time, in situ tissue analysis, today announced the publication of a study in Science Advances unveiling an innovative methodology using its technology to noninvasively monitor cell spatiotemporal dynamics involved in cancer progression in a real-time and label-free manner, which can provide new insights for cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Artificial intelligence (AI) models trained on large datasets are increasingly seen as the key to unlocking personalized treatments for brain disorders. An important bottleneck for scaling AI is the cost of data collection. This raises a fundamental dilemma: is it more cost-effective to scan more people for a short time, or fewer people for longer?
Respiratory infections such as COVID-19 have been responsible for numerous pandemics and have placed a substantial burden on health care systems. Such viruses can cause significant damage to our lungs, especially to the proximal region, or airway, and distal region, also known as the alveoli.
Researchers have developed a powerful new tool that makes it easier to study the mix of cell types in human tissue, which is crucial for understanding diseases such as cancer.
