Australian researchers funded by the National Heart Foundation are a step closer to a safer and more effective way to treat heart attack and stroke via nanotechnology. The research jointly l... Read more
Regenerative medicine researchers at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center have addressed a major challenge in the quest to build replacement kidneys in the lab. Working with human-sized pig ki... Read more
They describe development and testing of “synthetic biomarkers” — lab-made materials for detecting what is going on in the body. Detecting dangerous blood clots, which can cause life-threate... Read more
“Our results demonstrate that synthetic biomarkers can be engineered to sense vascular diseases remotely from the urine” Detecting dangerous blood clots, which can cause life-threateni... Read more
Surgery to relieve the damaging pressure caused by hemorrhaging in the brain is a perfect job for a robot. That is the basic premise of a new image-guided surgical system under development a... Read more
86 percent success rate in opening the blocked brain blood vessel Specialists at Stony Brook Medicine’s Cerebrovascular and Stroke Center (CVC) are treating patients with a new generation of... Read more
Harnessing the principle that allows blood to clot, MIT researchers are working on new synthetic materials to plug holes. When you get a cut, blood starts to flow from the wound. But very qu... Read more
A new device that removes clots from the brain could be a game changer in the treatment of strokes, say researchers. In a recent clinical trial, the SOLITAIRE Flow Restoration Device, approv... Read more
