Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich have developed a novel method to track cancer treatment responses in individual cells—without the need for dyes or labels.

With another hot Texas summer underway, the threat of dehydration always looms. Though this condition can range from inconvenient to life-threatening, it’s tough to track.

Smartphones can help people stay healthy by monitoring their sleep, steps and heart rate, but they also can help reveal issues tied to mental health, new research shows.

A new device combining ultrasound and advanced imaging to provide crucial information for the safe delivery of drugs into the brain has been developed by University of Queensland researchers. The research is published in the Journal of Controlled Release.

A study led by scientists at King’s has revealed how the physical orientation of the heart inside the chest dramatically influences the electrical signals captured in an electrocardiogram (ECG)—a discovery that could pave the way for more personalized and accurate heart diagnostics.

Approximately 40% of the European population are allergic to pollen, and their symptoms cause an estimated loss of 100 million school and workdays every year.

There are few scientific methods more elegantly simple than “just sprinkle it on top.” Researchers at Tohoku University and Nagoya University developed a fluorescent probe that can quickly show synapses, the connection points between brain cells.

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand different types of nerve cells in the human brain, according to the latest calculations.

A new skin-like sensor developed by an international team led by researchers at Penn State could help doctors monitor vital signs more accurately, track healing after surgery and even help patients with bladder control issues.
