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."
Researchers have developed a mobile test using technology found in smartphones, and it could provide doctors and carers with a virtually instantaneous way of diagnosing someone with HIV.
UK scientists have created the world’s first “molecular robot” that is capable of performing basic tasks including building other molecules.
A new study has uncovered millions of previously unknown genes from microbial communities in the human gut, skin, mouth, and vaginal microbiome, allowing for new insights into the role these microbes play in human health and disease.
The work holds promise for eco-friendly disposable personal electronics and biomedical devices that dissolve within the body.
Robots and artificial intelligence are greatly advancing modern medicine. AI will help improve robot-assisted surgery, medical imaging, and drug discovery.
A great deal of mystery DNA has been found in the human gut.
Researchers hope an artificial womb used to incubate healthy baby lambs can be used in future technology for premature babies.
Researchers have developed a device that can switch cell function to rescue failing body functions with a single touch.
Researchers from Israel have developed a new kind of photoinitiator for 3D printing in water. The photoinitiators could be used to make bio-friendly 3D printed structures.
Researchers in Europe have created a soft artificial heart that mimics the real one. The approach could revolutionize the way patients with heart disease are treated.
