AI detects protein signatures for Alzheimer’s disease in the blood
A sensitive blood test for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease could be possible with nanoparticle arrays.
What causes deep vein thrombosis?
Blood pooling in venous valves is a key risk factor in deep vein thrombosis. A new model is used to better understand how this occurs.
A fresh look at the heart
The FRESH-technique for 3D printing heart models could be a game changer for budding surgeons.
Leveraging the lung’s biogenesis to repair the heart
Stem cells found in the lungs can be redirected to the heart using a new inhaled antibody therapy to help boost healing following a heart attack.
Low-cost, portable, and rapidly deployable ventilators
The procurement and maintenance of high‐end ventilators limits their use in emergency situations. By removing the “frills”, researchers create a viable alternative.
Biomaterials researchers should include sex-based differences
In a survey of biomaterials articles that included cell culture experiments, only 3.7% of studies reported the sex of the cells.
