Additive manufacturing offers the possibility of tailoring polyethylene implants to individual patients and improving tissue regrowth
A new microchip could help scientists uncover secrets of heart regeneration in baby mice
New device could improve heat-based therapies for cancer
Scientists are working toward advances that, using nanotechnology, could lead to a hospital bed or doorknob that naturally destroys viruses
A world-first discovery could lead to faster and more effective treatments for chronic health complications, such as cardiovascular disease and cancer, with ‘fluorescent’ in vivo biosensors
Researchers have invented a smartphone-controlled soft brain implant that can be recharged wirelessly from outside the body. Scientists believe this technology can help uncover and treat psychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative diseases such as addiction, depression, and Parkinson’s
A newly-designed 3D-printed Biomesh effectively minimized postsurgical complications of hernia repair in an animal model
A streamlined approach is proposed for the fabrication of organ‐on‐a‐chip devices with incorporated microactuators, by using an adaptation of xurography. This method can generate multilayered, membrane‐integrated biochips in a matter of hours, using low‐cost benchtop equipment
Researchers have shown that a combination of engineered nanodroplets and an ultrasound ‘drill’ can break up particularly tough blood clots
