Researchers develop a bioresorbable pacemaker to temporarily monitor and control heart rate

In a proof-of-concept study that aims to address the unmet need for minimally invasive cardiac control and monitoring devices, researchers have developed a network of wireless devices, including a bioresorbable pacemaker, that can temporarily monitor and control heart rate.

Study evaluates diagnostic performance of two blood-based biomarkers specific to Alzheimer's disease

A simple blood test to diagnose Alzheimer's disease, perhaps even years before symptoms appear, is an exciting possibility, but a new study shows that much more research is needed before these blood tests are routinely used in the clinical diagnostic setting.

Northwestern University scientists unveil a smart, bioresorbable transient pacemaker

Last summer, Northwestern University scientists introduced the first-ever transient pacemaker — a fully implantable, wireless device that harmlessly dissolves in the body after it's no longer needed.

Cell membrane-bound enzyme is essential for SARS-CoV-2 infectivity, study shows

The membrane-bound form of angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is essential for enabling infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a study published in the journal Cell.

HMA therapy for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome could potentially activate a sleeping oncogene

Hypomethylating agents (HMA) are currently used as a first-line treatment for patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) - a group of disorders where there is insufficient production of healthy mature blood cells in the bone marrow - and increasingly in other diseases, but their mechanism of action remains unclear.
