Caltech scientists have developed a method that detects tiny, imperceptible movements at the surface of objects to reveal details about what lies beneath. By analyzing the physics of waves traveling across the surface of ...

CAR T-cell immunotherapy improved progression-free and overall survival in patients with relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma, according to a recent clinical trial published in The Lancet. Marginal zone lymphoma ...

For years, treating gum disease has meant scraping away plaque, cutting out damaged tissue or turning to antibiotics that kill bacteria indiscriminately. While newer therapies can regenerate lost tissue, doctors still lack ...

Bones broken in a skiing accident usually heal on their own. But if the break is too severe or a bone tumor needs to be removed, surgeons insert an implant that enables the bone to grow back together. Implants often consist ...

Lasers cut precisely and without contact—ideal for surgery. The problem is that in hard tissues such as bone, they are too slow and do not cut deep enough. Researchers at the University of Basel have now demonstrated a ...

Scores of sea lions continue to beach themselves along the Southern California coastline, stricken with sickness. Toxic algae blooms are to blame, though a mechanical engineering innovation could shift the tide in favor of ...

In a 2023 paper on hypoxia and glucose metabolism, our lab showed how organisms rewire their metabolism to adapt to low oxygen levels—such as those found at high altitudes. One of the most striking observations from that ...

With the aim of restoring female hormone cycles for pediatric cancer survivors, a team of University of Michigan researchers has demonstrated that donated ovarian tissue, hidden from the immune system in a capsule, can produce ...

A research lab at the University of Caen Normandy (France) has succeeded in making cartilage using decellularized apples.

Researchers at Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) have made a great leap toward predicting the risk of hip fracture among people with osteoporosis and evaluating the effectiveness of specific drugs to prevent it. The BCN Med Tech ...

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what you look like: the pigments of your eyes, of your skin, and the bone structure of your face are all ...

A study led by Dartmouth Engineering professors demonstrates a possible new technique for connecting electronic implants with the surface of the brain, as well as a new method for ensuring safe, long-term medical access to ...
