EPFL researchers have invented a remarkably small and ultraflexible neurovascular microcatheter. Powered by blood flow, it can safely navigate the most intricately branched arteries in a matter of seconds.
Diane Chan, a former research scientist in The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory and neurologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, is the study’s lead and co-corresponding author. Picower Professor Li-Huei Tsai, director of The Picower Institute and the Aging Brain Initiative at MIT, is the study’s senior and co-corresponding author.

BEAVERTON, Ore., Oct. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — YorLabs, Inc., a medical technology company pioneering next-generation intracardiac imaging solutions for electrophysiology (EP) and interventional cardiology (IC) procedures, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted 510(k) clearance for the company’s YorLabs Intracardiac Imaging System – a first-of-its-kind, zero-capex ultrasound platform designed to simplify workflow, reduce cost, and enhance procedural efficiency inside the cath lab.
The tool integrates with the current laboratory infrastructure, captures images of embryos and creates an AI score.
The device has shown to be advantageous for individuals with neurological or orthopaedic disorders.
The expanded FDA clearance makes NeurAxis’ IB-Stim the first FDA approval for a treatment that specifically addresses functional dyspepsia.
Novel technology delivers enhanced image contrast and resolution for confident decisions
An endoscopy—using a fiber‐optic tube to peer inside the body and collect biopsy samples—can be an invaluable way to detect cancer of the esophagus. But sometimes, an endoscopy can miss esophageal cancer, which doesn’t get detected until weeks or months later.
