Scientists get closer to injecting artificial lymph nodes into people to fight disease

In a proof-of-principle study in mice, scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine report the creation of a specialized gel that acts like a lymph node to successfully activate and multiply cancer-fighting immune system T-cells.

19 Apr 2019

Scientists deploy CRISPR gene-editing tool to engineer multiple edits

Scientists at Christiana Care Health System's Gene Editing Institute and NovellusDx, an Israeli biotechnology company, have deployed a breakthrough CRISPR gene-editing tool to successfully engineer multiple edits simultaneously to fragments of DNA extracted from a human cell, according to a new study published today in The CRISPR Journal.

Scientific breakthrough provides new hope for people living with multiple sclerosis

A scientific breakthrough provides new hope for millions of people living with multiple sclerosis. Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have developed a compound that stimulates repair of the protective sheath that covers nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.

19 Apr 2019

Novel system enables researchers to study bacteria within mini-tissues in a dish

Engineering bacteria to intelligently sense and respond to disease states, from infections to cancer, has become a promising focus of synthetic biology.

19 Apr 2019

New discovery transforms conventional microfluidics into open-space microfluidics

Microfluidics refers to the manipulation of fluids in microscale devices. Commonly called "labs on a chip," microfluidic systems are used to study and analyze very small-scale chemical or biological samples, replacing the extremely expensive and cumbersome instruments used for traditional biological analyses.

19 Apr 2019

Scientists use NIR light and injected DNA nanodevice to guide stem cells to injury

What if doctors had a remote control that they could use to steer a patient's own cells to a wound to speed up the healing process?

18 Apr 2019

Scientists revive pig brain cells four hours after death, providing hope for stroke patients

In a breakthrough research study, scientists at Yale University have restored cellular activity in the brains of dead pigs.

18 Apr 2019

New adhesive patch could help reduce post-heart attack muscle damage

Researchers have designed a new type of adhesive patch that can be placed directly on the heart and may one day help to reduce the stretching of heart muscle that often occurs after a heart attack.

17 Apr 2019

New Virtual Reality Therapy game could offer relief for patients with chronic pain, mobility issues

A Virtual Reality Therapy game which could introduce relief for patients suffering from chronic pain and mobility issues has been developed by a team of UK researchers.

17 Apr 2019

Study tests high-tech, non-pharmaceutical way to address ADHD and distractibility

Nearly 10 percent of children ages 2-17 in the U.S. have been diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in the U.S., a condition marked by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, distractibility and sometimes impulsivity.

17 Apr 2019

Universities join hands to confront opioid problem in the central Appalachian region

Go to Google and type: "leading cause of accidental death in ..." Then type in a state -- any state in central Appalachia -- and hit search. The answer is the same: opioid overdoses and drug poisoning lead the way in fatalities in these states, far above former front-runners, such as car accidents and gun violence.
