Welding with stem cells for next-generation surgical glues

Scientists at the University of Bristol have invented a new technology that could lead to the development of a new generation of smart surgical glues and dressings for chronic wounds. The new method, pioneered by Dr Adam Perriman and colleagues, involves re-engineering the membranes of stem cells to effectively “weld” the cells together. Cell membrane

Synthetic Speech Generated from Brain Recordings

A state-of-the-art brain-machine interface created by UC San Francisco neuroscientists can generate natural-sounding synthetic speech by using brain activity to control a virtual vocal tract – an anatomically detailed computer simulation including the lips, jaw, tongue and larynx. The study was conducted in research participants with intact speech, but the technology could one day restore the

Mass producing biomaterials UC Berkeley innovations speed up 3D bioprinting

More than 113,000 people are currently on the national transplant list. And with a shortage of donors, this means that about 20 people will die every day while waiting for an organ, according to the U.S. Department of Health. But this could change thanks to researchers at UC Berkeley, who have developed a device that may be

Machine learning in medicine

The field of medicine has so far relied heavily on heuristic approaches, whereby knowledge is acquired through experience and self-learning, which is imperative in the highly variable healthcare environment. The increase in knowledge and understanding of diseases has been associated with the growth in information and data partly thanks to advances in tools that generate

The Next Frontier of CAR T-Cell Therapy: Solid Tumors

The technology has wowed the field by all but obliterating some patients’ blood cancers, but solid malignancies present new challenges. Cecilia Barron feels for one of the two bumps on her scalp. “Here it is,” she says, gently touching a spot on the top of her head. It’s invisible, unless Barron parts her hair to
