Tech Xplore / Wristband enables wearers to control a robotic hand with their own movements
The next time you're scrolling on your phone, take a moment to appreciate the feat: The seemingly mundane act is possible thanks to the coordination of 34 muscles, 27 joints, and over 100 tendons and ligaments in your hand. ...
Medical Xpress / High-resolution atlas of developing human brain combines data from nearly 200 studies and 30 million cells
In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and colleagues throughout the world ...
Medical Xpress / Meta-analysis of nearly 15,000 people links IBS to low-grade inflammation signs
New research from the University of Newcastle has found that people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) show detectable biological changes, challenging the long-held perception that the condition lacks a physical basis. The ...
