Stem cell infusions could treat babies affected with rare bone conditions, as well as older people – and even astronauts who lose bone mass in orbit If the treatment is found to be effective, it […]
Scientists from Penn State have discovered the dynamic processes in which stem cells can be turned into motor neurons. They have also uncovered the cellular mechanisms that control the programming of the stem cells. Programming […]
Biologists are working hard to master the art of crafting durable human kidneys, hearts and other complex organs that have never been grown outside a living body. See more… Image from dailybreeze.com
In a recent article for 99% Invisible, Kurt Kohlstedt explores how integrating microalgae into buildings can create a dualistic system of living and built, in order to perform services like create shade, generate power, and […]
Inside “clean rooms” of Stanford University’s fledgling Laboratory for Cell and Gene Medicine, lab techs tend machines that churn out gene-engineered cells, which can attack cancer, fix blood disease, patch a heart, alter the immune system, […]
By tweaking genes that turn adult cells back into embryoniclike ones, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies reversed the aging of mouse and human cells in vitro, extended the life of a mouse […]
Scientists have enlisted the exotic properties of graphene, a one-atom-thick layer of carbon, to function like the film of an incredibly sensitive camera system in visually mapping tiny electric fields in a liquid. Researchers hope […]
The ability to gauge whether a tumor cell is on the cusp of metastasis could be a crucial help to doctors and patients. Image from statnews.com
When the beams are focused on a single point, this can ablate, or destroy, tissue by heating cells to near 60C until they die. Doctors use deep-brain ultrasound therapy to treat tremors thumbnail courtesy of […]
Over the past several decades, miniaturization has significantly improved clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutical research and analytical chemistry. Modern biotechnology devices— such as biosensors, fully integrated systems for diagnostics, cell-analysis or drug discovery—are often chip-based and rely […]
