The FDA has authorised up to 15 clinical sites to take part in the study.

Imperative Care announced the launch of the new Zoom 4S thrombectomy catheter and reported the first patient cases with the device.

Pulsed-field ablation, transcatheter heart valves, and intravascular lithotripsy are among the top stories, as they drive growth among the largest cardio device companies.

Siemens Healthineers announced today that it received FDA clearance for its Biograph One second-generation PET/MR scanner.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny particles shed by cells that carry important molecular “clues” about the cell’s identity and condition.

Euan Ashley’s lab explores the intricate interactions of gene variants. Tiny “typos,” or genetic mutations, can sneak into segments of DNA. Many of these are harmless, but some can cause health problems. Two or more genes can team up and change the outcome of a physical or molecular trait. This phenomenon, known as epistasis, occurs through complex interactions between genes that are functionally related—such as those that support protein creation.

An Italian study published in Nature Medicine provides compelling evidence that fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) can enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy in patients with advanced metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC).
