Highly sensitive device is the first to detect changes in potassium ion levels in the brains of freely moving mice
Handheld 3D printers developed to treat musculoskeletal injuries
Biomedical engineers recently developed a handheld 3D bioprinter that could revolutionize the way musculoskeletal surgical procedures are performed
Polytechnic University 3D prints face shields to combat coronavirus
3D printing is proving useful in yet another medical application as an emergency response tool
Bioengineers take step towards being able to mend a broken heart
Bioengineers have developed a prototype patch that does the same job as crucial aspects of heart tissue. Their work essentially takes us one step closer to being able to mend a broken heart
Smart band-aid senses and treats bacterial infections
A new paper-based adhesive plaster detects the presence of drug-sensitive and drug-resistant bacteria in wounds and treats them accordingly
Replacing animal testing with synthetic cell scaffolds
Electrospun synthetic cell scaffolds are not only more consistent than animal cells for cancer research, they hold the potential to replace animal testing
Gold nanoparticles inside cells are not inert, say researchers
New study reveals that cells can metabolize gold even though it is not essential for their function
Researchers regrow damaged nerves with polymer and protein
Researchers have created a biodegradable nerve guide — a polymer tube — filled with growth-promoting protein that can regenerate long sections of damaged nerves, without the need for transplanting stem cells or a donor nerve
