Administrator MIT scientists develop injectable “mini livers” that work inside the body MIT engineers have developed injectable “mini livers” designed to help support people whose failing livers can no longer perform essential jobs. Instead of replacing the damaged organ, the approach in... devices medical
Administrator Scientists discover the human heart can regrow muscle after a heart attack Researchers have shown for the first time that human heart muscle cells can regrow after a heart attack. The finding overturns the idea that damaged areas of the heart are completely incapable of rege... devices medical
Administrator UCLA scientists turn cord blood into powerful cancer-fighting T cells UCLA researchers developed ready-made cancer-fighting T cells from cord blood stem cells that can attack solid tumors through two separate detection systems. In mice, a single dose controlled cancer a... devices medical
Administrator Schizophrenia’s lost brain connections follow a surprising pattern Specialized brain scans reveal that schizophrenia is linked to widespread loss of the synapses that connect brain cells, with the left side of the brain hit especially hard. The damage follows a surpr... devices medical
Administrator Stanford’s tiny eye chip helps the blind see again A wireless eye implant developed at Stanford Medicine has restored reading ability to people with advanced macular degeneration. The PRIMA chip works with smart glasses to replace lost photoreceptors ... devices medical
Administrator Women taking estrogen had fewer signs of Alzheimer’s in their brains Women who used estrogen-only hormone therapy later in life were less likely to develop dementia and showed fewer signs of Alzheimer’s disease in their brains, according to a large study of more than 2... devices medical
Administrator Scientists find 15 gut bacteria that may drive heart disease Scientists in Seoul have uncovered 15 gut bacterial species linked to coronary artery disease, showing that microbes can influence heart health far beyond digestion. Their findings reveal how shifts i... devices medical
Administrator Blood tests reveal obesity rapidly accelerates Alzheimer’s progression Obesity accelerates the rise of Alzheimer’s-related blood biomarkers far more rapidly than previously recognized. Long-term imaging and plasma data show that obese individuals experience much faster i... devices medical
Administrator Doctors are seeing more aggressive breast cancer in younger women than expected Younger women are being diagnosed with breast cancer more often than screening guidelines anticipate. Many of these cancers are invasive and harder to treat, especially in those under 40. After analyz... devices medical
Administrator Stanford scientists uncover why mRNA COVID vaccines can trigger heart inflammation Stanford scientists have uncovered how mRNA COVID-19 vaccines can very rarely trigger heart inflammation in young men — and how that risk might be reduced. They found that the vaccines can spark a two... devices medical
Administrator Misfolded insulin may be quietly driving diabetes Researchers found that insulin-producing cells depend on a team of helper proteins to keep insulin production on track. When one key partner was missing, damaged proteins built up and the cells made l... devices medical
Administrator A hidden brain problem may be an early warning for Alzheimer’s Researchers discovered that clogged brain “drains” show up early in people at risk of Alzheimer’s disease. These blockages, easily seen on standard MRI scans, are tied to toxic protein buildup linked ... devices medical
