This month, the Estonian government kicks off a program that aims to collect the DNA of 100,000 of its 1.3 million residents. In return, it will offer them lifestyle and health advice based on their genetics.
Researchers have fused living and non-living cells for the first time in a way that allows them to work together, paving the way for new applications.
Researchers from UK have created the world's first synthetic vaccine.The non-biologic influenza vaccine, which can be delivered orally, could herald a revolution in vaccine delivery.
Inspired by the human eye, researchers have developed an adaptive metalens that is essentially a flat, electronically controlled artificial eye.
Researchers have identified fifteen genes that determine our facial features.
Scientists have successfully produced human kidney tissue within a living organism which is able to produce urine, a first for medical science.
Each scaffold was made by 3D printing a replica of each patient’s ear using a Z Corporation Spectrum Z510 3D printer. The scaffolds were then populated with living cells from each patient.
CancerSEEK, which was 70 percent accurate in a human trial, could be major breakthrough in early identification of cancers and where in the body they are located.
A team at Duke University, US has overcome significant hurdles to create the first functioning human muscle from these stem cells.
Researchers refine method of making bio-ink droplets stick to each other, enabling 3D printing of highly complex biological structures with a wide variety of cell types using inkjet printers.
Forward has redesigned the primary care experience around data. Visits are holistic and not simply reactive to a specific complaint. Care is designed to catch the signs of chronic conditions.
Researchers at Stanford University are developing a linear accelerator that is the size of a chip — instead of two miles long — and it could herald a medical breakthrough.
While far from an anti-aging cure, injections of ‘master regulator’ stem cells show promise in fighting symptoms of frailty.
On October 2, Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young were awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine “for their discoveries of molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm.”
Plastic surgeons have used a robotic device to surgically treat lymphedema in a patient. This is the world's first super-microsurgical intervention with '"robot hands."
