The brain’s own clearance mechanisms are most active during sleep. Researchers have now shown that this natural clearance process can also be enhanced while people are awake.

A team of engineers and surgeons from Johns Hopkins Medicine has published its first proof-of-concept study that shows temporarily implanting a tiny ultrasonic device into the location of a spinal cord injury can be feasible, safe and potentially useful.

Certain “unhealthy” diets seemed to boost cancer immunotherapy in mice and how it’s related to the gut microbiome.

In vivid images of 3D human brain tissue, researchers reveal how the virus leaves neurons vulnerable by altering their metabolism

Most cancer deaths are not caused by the original tumor, but by metastases, which form when cancer cells leave the original tumor and spread to other organs.

For millions of people living with diabetes, continuous glucose monitors provide a real-time picture of glucose levels, helping users manage medication, diet and day-to-day activities.

A team of physicists from the Applied Optics Group at the University of Kent has developed a new design for an ultrathin, forward-viewing endoscope.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common malignant primary brain tumor in adults and is one of the most aggressive and deadly forms of cancer. It is difficult for surgeons to fully remove GBM because it often has microscopic “tentacles” that extend from the tumor into healthy brain tissue. GBM is also hard to treat because it creates an immunosuppressive microenvironment that helps the cancer evade immune attack and resist therapy.

HistoSonics has received market authorization from Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) for its Edison Histotripsy System, registered as the HistoSonics Histotripsy System. The approval marks another significant milestone in the company’s continued international expansion and creates new opportunities to advance access to histotripsy throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
