Dietary elements could eliminate the need for antibiotics

US researchers report that dietary iron supplements help to survive a normally lethal bacterial infection and resulted in later generations of those bacteria being less virulent.

Scientists Complete the Successful Transplant of Lab-Grown Lungs

The achievement opens up the possibility of using similarly bioengineered lungs for humans in need of a lung transplant.

Human Trials for Artificial Kidney Could Begin This Year in US

An implantable bioartificial kidney may be ready for human trials by the end of the year, according to a recent update from the researchers.

3D-Printed Microbots Deliver Drugs by Navigating Arteries and Veins

The titanium microbots could one day provide a minimally invasive method for delivering therapies in humans.

Computers for Mimicking Human Brain

A computer built to mimic the brain's neural networks produces similar results to that of the best brain-simulation supercomputer software currently used for neural-signaling research.

Robotic Device Yields Quicker Blood Test Results

US Scientists have developed a device for automated blood drawing and testing that could provide rapid test results at bedsides or in ambulances, emergency rooms, clinics or doctors’ offices.

Artificial Bone Marrow Supports Blood Stem Cells

Scientists in Basel, Switzerland, have created an artificial tissue that mimics some of the biological properties of natural bone marrow niches and can support stem and progenitor cell replication over several days.

Breakthrough Regenerates Enamel, May End Tooth Decay

Researchers have developed a mineralized material that mimics the fortified structure of enamel. The protein-based substance could be used to prevent and treat tooth decay, as well as tooth sensitivity and pain.

Scientists Regrow Brain Tissue That Was Damaged by a Stroke

Researchers have just made a breakthrough discovery in how we can possibly treat stroke patients in the future.

Robots grow mini-organs from human stem cells

A robotic system has been developed to automate the production of human mini-organs derived from stem cells. This will expand the use of mini-organs in basic research and drug discovery.

New platform transforms gene editor into precision tool

Researchers have developed a new platform that makes CRISPR less like a cutting tool and more like a word processor with a search-and-replace function.

Genomics is disrupting the healthcare sector

Affordable, rapid DNA sequencing is causing a revolution in medicine and healthcare globally, and it's happening now.

Scientists find a new form of immunity

Scientists have revealed how a population of 'bad' antibodies in the immune system can provide crucial protection against invading microbes.

Alzheimer's Gene is Neutralized in Human Brain Cells for the First Time

US Scientists managed to identify the gene that caused Alzheimer’s disease. Not only that, but they also managed to neutralize the gene so that it did not lead to Alzheimer’s development.

Don't forget the 'epi' in genetics research, scientist says

In a review article a prominent scientist calls for more integration between two fields of DNA-based research: genetics and epigenetics.
