Researchers construct first single-cell atlas of postnatal lung development in humans and mice

How do the lungs develop after taking their first breaths outside the womb? What cellular events and changes early in life give rise to lung malfunction and disease? To help answer these questions, scientists have constructed the first single-cell atlas of postnatal lung development in humans and mice.

New delivery method enhances the "attack power" of CAR T cells against tumors

One cutting-edge cancer treatment exciting researchers today involves collecting and reprogramming a patient's T cells – a special set of immune cells – then putting them back into the body ready to detect and destroy cancerous cells.

GE-led team uses ultrasound to prevent or reverse Type-2 diabetes in preclinical models

Are we moving closer to the day when diabetes is no longer monitored and managed with blood sugar tests, insulin injections and drug treatments? A GE Research-led team, which includes The Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, Yale School of Medicine, and Albany Medical College, has demonstrated the ability to prevent or reverse the onset of diabetes in studies of three different preclinical model systems.

Quantum dots can quantify specific types of cells inside deep tissues of the body

To accurately diagnose and treat diseases, doctors and researchers need to see inside bodies. Medical imaging tools have come a long way since the humble x-ray, but most existing tools remain too coarse to quantify numbers or specific types of cells inside deep tissues of the body.
