Scientists at Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) have made a great leap forward in predicting the risk of hip fracture among women due to osteoporosis. They have discovered that it is not necessary to examine all parts of the ...

Using 3D modeling to plan and guide cancer surgeries increases surgical precision, resulting in complete tumor removal for 92% of head and neck cancers that have invaded bone, according to a new study published by The Ohio ...

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., second only to heart disease. But a new cancer treatment method from CU Boulder researchers uses sound waves to soften tumors and could be a potent tool against the ...

One of the most exciting advances in cancer treatments in the past decade is the development of T cell immunotherapies, in which a patient's own immune system is trained to recognize and attack dangerous cells. Yet a full ...

It wasn't looking good for Major.

A small group of patients with an otherwise incurable form of T‑cell leukemia have seen their cancer driven into remission by an innovative form of immune therapy.

In a new leap for neurobiology and bioelectronics, Northwestern University scientists have developed a wireless device that uses light to send information directly to the brain—bypassing the body's natural sensory pathways.

Scientists in Melbourne have discovered how tiny electrical pulses can steer stem cells as they grow, opening the door to new improved ways of creating new tissues, organs, nerves and bones.

Our muscles are nature's actuators. The sinewy tissue is what generates the forces that make our bodies move. In recent years, engineers have used real muscle tissue to actuate "biohybrid robots" made from both living tissue ...

The number of traumatic amputations is rising worldwide—caused by road traffic accidents, accidents at work or during leisure activities, but also as a result of terrorist attacks or war. Only a few specialist clinics are ...

For anyone facing cancer, the treatment options can feel brutally familiar: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of them all. But a new approach is beginning to offer something very different. By using nothing ...

University of Houston researchers developed a new X-ray imaging method capable of revealing hidden features in a single shot, a breakthrough that could advance cancer detection, disease monitoring, security screening and ...
