For the first time, a research team led by the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC has mapped the genetic architecture of a crucial part of the human brain known as the corpus callosum—the thick band of nerve fibers that connects the brain’s left and right hemispheres. The findings open new pathways for discoveries about mental illness, neurological disorders and other diseases related to defects in this part of the brain.
Around the globe, heart disease remains one of the top causes of death. Once patients begin to suffer from serious heart problems, like heart attacks and heart failure, the heart muscles become damaged and are difficult to treat and repair.
Having already submitted an application with the FDA, Tulyp is now eyeing a Series A financing round to capture more clinical data and advance R&D.
Bioelectronic devices link microbes and materials to convert chemical signals into electrical outputs for sensing, energy, and synthesis. Unlocking this potential requires systems that can interrogate electroactive cells rapidly and at scale, but traditional bioelectrochemical platforms remain costly, bulky, and low throughput.
The increasing demand for real-time, wireless, and sustainable motion monitoring in applications such as personal health, professional sports, and human-machine interactions calls for wearable devices that are lightweight and battery free.
VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — WAT Medical Enterprise Ltd. proudly announced the publication of a groundbreaking clinical trial in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery (JBJS) which demonstrates the significant benefits of the EmeTerm wristband in reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients undergoing total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) under spinal anesthesia.
University of Texas at Dallas researchers have developed biosensor technology that, when combined with artificial intelligence (AI), shows promise for detecting lung cancer through breath analysis.
A naturally occurring gene called Cyclin A2 (CCNA2), which turns off after birth in humans, can actually make new, functioning heart cells and help the heart repair itself from injury, including a heart attack or heart failure, when the gene is turned back on.
Cornell University researchers and collaborators have developed a neural implant so small that it can rest on a grain of salt, yet it can wirelessly transmit brain activity data in a living animal for more than a year.
