Currently, no cure exists for Alzheimer’s disease, the devastating neurological disease affecting more than 5 million Americans. But scientists are now reporting new progress on a set of com... Read more
To improve medical treatment, researchers test new drug ingredients on biological cells. By combining two microscopy techniques, the time required for testing can be reduced by 50 to 80 perc... Read more
Melbourne scientists have been able to “grow” human cartilage from stem cells with the help of 3D printing technologies developed at the University of Wollongong. Scientists at t... Read more
Japanese researchers have developed a technique to reshape living cells into thread form, which could prove to be a boon to transplants one day. By giving three-dimensional form to the threa... Read more
Acoustic cell-sorting chip may lead to cell phone-sized medical labs A technique that uses acoustic waves to sort cells on a chip may create miniature medical analytic devices that could mak... Read more
“The biological Internet is in its very earliest stages” If you were a bacterium, the virus M13 might seem innocuous enough. It insinuates more than it invades, setting up shop l... Read more
Offering the prospect of engineering plants that can grow all year round and in locations where that’s not currently possible. Circadian rhythms are a roughly 24-hour cycle governing b... Read more
UBC researchers have invented a silicone chip that could make genetic analysis far more sensitive, rapid, and cost-effective by allowing individual cells to fall into place like balls in a p... Read more
