MIT researchers created microscopic wireless electronic devices that travel through blood and implant in target brain regions, where they provide electrical stimulation.

Immune cells actively shed a sugar coating to infiltrate inflamed skin, a mechanism linked to psoriasis and other inflammatory diseases.

The study demonstrates how MENPs can be guided by magnetic fields to target pancreatic tumors and activated remotely to destroy cancer cells while providing real-time imaging.

Scientific review discusses how new advances in 3D bioprinting, organoids, organs on-a-chip aid in the fight against cancer.

Biomaterial vaccines using pathogen-specific antigens could significantly lower patients’ risk of infection from implanted medical devices,

Weill Cornell Medicine scientists created Cyclone, a simple tool that uses the antiviral drug acyclovir to safely switch genes on or off. The system copies a natural genetic “off switch” found in cells and avoids toxic side effects.

The discovery of astrovirus binding to an immune antibody receptor illuminates new paths for vaccine design and treatment repurposing.

Study reveals how pancreatic tumors evade immunity using a sugar disguise, and how a new antibody restores immunity in mice.

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital report a proof-of-concept study showing how antibiotic-resistant proteins can be exploited for the development of new antibiotics.

Treatment for obesity in the UK could become a “two-tier system” where the most vulnerable patients miss out altogether.
