The best model for understanding illnesses in newborns
When working with animal models for newborn babies, researchers need to determine what stage of development best mimics that of a human baby at birth.
Bone healing with self-aware implants
While radiographic imaging can evaluate bone healing post surgery, a smart, self-aware implant could eliminate unnecessary exposure to radiation.
Cancer immunotherapy gets a boost from microbubbles
A fragile cancer immunotherapy agent “cGAMP” is delivered to tumor sites using tiny bubbles that protect it until it reaches its destination.
