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.
From the biggest companies in Silicon Valley to Boston-based startups, the tech sector is transforming the way doctors diagnose and respond to a wide array of illnesses.
A computer's ability to predict a patient's lifespan simply by looking at images of their organs is a step closer to becoming a reality, thanks to new research.
One new drug coming to market can take 1,000 people, 12-15 years, and up to $1.6 billion. An artificial intelligence system AtomWise aims to streamline the initial phase of drug discovery.
This week, a team of US researchers announced the successful production of a lab-grown neuron that could help heal spinal cord injuries by reestablishing the connection between brain and muscle.
A team of UK researchers have developed a machine-learning algorithm that can predict a likelihood of having a heart attack or stroke as well as any doctor.
