Scientists successfully maneuver robot through living lung tissue
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. Some tumors are extremely small and hide deep within lung tissue, making it difficult for surgeons to…
Drug delivery platform uses sound for targeting
Chemotherapy as a treatment for cancer is one of the major medical success stories of the 20th century, but it’s far from perfect. Anyone who has been through chemotherapy or…
Implantable device could enable injection-free control of diabetes
The device contains encapsulated cells that produce insulin, plus a tiny oxygen-producing factory that keeps the cells healthy. One promising approach to treating Type 1 diabetes is implanting pancreatic islet…
Milestone in the fight against pandemics
Researchers at TU Dresden create pioneering approaches for the detection of viral antigens. The outbreak of the COVID pandemic in 2020 has once again shown how important reliable and rapid…
Micro4PAP: a new microscope generation for in-vivo imaging of cells mechanics
The project coordinated by Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia has been funded with 3 million euro by the European Union. A tool that uses light to study biological molecules without interfering…
New method for detecting blood circulation problems in brain capillaries
Scientists combine Bessel beam two-photon microscopy with high throughput analysis for faster and more precise measurements of blood flow. The brain is perhaps the most sensitive organ with respect to…
