Wearable technologies are revolutionizing health care, but design limitations in adhesive-based personal monitors have kept them from meeting their full potential
Align Technology’s non-invasive orthodontic innovation set to transform pediatric care in China.
Researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed a blood test that can identify early signs of Alzheimer’s disease by measuring proteins linked to the condition. The new test, known as Penta-Plex Alzheimer’s Disease Capture Sandwich Immunoassay (5ADCSI), detects five biomarkers simultaneously, which is more than existing blood tests and runs on equipment commonly used in many laboratories.
Successfully treating type 2 diabetes may involve focusing on brain neurons, rather than simply concentrating on obesity or insulin resistance, according to a study published today in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
A new, incision-free technique developed at UVA Health to treat debilitating brain lesions called cerebral cavernous malformations, or cavernomas, has shown great promise in early testing, halting the growth of the lesions almost entirely.
MIT engineers designed polymer microparticles that can deliver vaccines at predetermined times after injection.
Now, in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, researchers report a dental floss pick with a built-in sensor that could monitor stress as part of a daily routine. The device, which accurately senses levels of the stress hormone cortisol in minutes, could help users recognize when it’s time to get help.
Soft, comfortable wearable device takes the guesswork out of breastfeeding
A joint research team affiliated with UNIST has developed a 3D-printed artificial tumor tissue capable of replicating the in vivo conditions of patient-derived cancer cells. This innovative model not only simulates the tumor microenvironment but also integrates artificial intelligence (AI) technology that can predict patient prognosis solely from images of tumor growth.
Researchers at UCL and the Francis Crick Institute have, for the first time, identified the origin of cardiac cells using 3D images of a heart forming in real-time, inside a living mouse embryo.
