The laboratories of Dr Silvia de Santis and Dr Santiago Canals, both of the Institute of Neurosciences UMH-CSIC (Alicante, Spain), have used diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging to show brain inflammation for the first moment and in considerable detail.
Researchers at TU Wien (Vienna) have developed a method to guide individual cells to the appropriate place with laser-guided precision.
Metasurfaces are a potential technology for wearable electronics, especially virtual and augmented reality systems, since they use carefully designed and structured nanostructures on a flat surface to target, shape, and manipulate light.
According to Australian scientists who created a nanotech imaging device small enough to fit on a smartphone camera lens, it can make the detection of some diseases accessible and inexpensive for individuals in rural and isolated areas.
On 2 May 2022, the EU-funded PULSATE project launched the Technology Transfer Experiments (TTE) Open Call for LBAAM technology in production environments.
Scientists have designed an affordable microscopic imaging device that is small in size to fit on the lens of a smartphone camera, potentially making the detection of diseases on mobile more economical and accessible.
Surgery has been the sole option that delivers a solution for those diagnosed with colorectal cancer. However, surgery is often complicated by disease relapse at the original site where the tumor was found when residual microscopic tumor cells are left behind during the surgery. Although it can lead to harmful side effects, chemotherapy is a treatment choice that is frequently given along with surgery.
The technology enables completely new types of implants that can be used to stimulate nerve cells and was developed in a joint effort by researchers from Graz University of Technology (TU Graz), the Medical University of Graz (Med Uni Graz), the University of Zagreb and the Czech CEITEC. The basis of this technology involves colour pigments from the food industry, such as those used in organic solar cells.
Weight-loss surgery can be an effective obesity therapy when eating and exercise are ineffective. Individuals who do not want surgery, on the other hand, can have an appetite-suppressing balloon or perhaps another implant placed in their stomach.
Researchers have developed a new endoscope that combines ultrasound with optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess structural features of the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium, in unprecedented detail. The new probe could one day help doctors diagnose infertility problems that are related to endometrial receptivity with greater accuracy than current imaging technologies while reducing the need for invasive biopsies.
