MIT researchers are using living cells to target diseased brain areas and deliver tiny electronic devices that can modulate ...

Engineers have found a way to shepherd microrobots with no wires, no radios, and no onboard computers. Instead, they steer them with light patterns designed using the same math physicists use to ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about the mechanism behind cancer progression. Researchers explored the influence the mechanical stiffening of the tumor cell's environment may have on the ...

Creating mini mitochondria factories helped recharge damaged cells in a dish, providing proof-of-concept work that could pave ...

Researchers at the University of Nottingham have created an endoscopic device that can 3D image the stiffness of individual biological cells and complex organisms, a discovery that could help doctors ...

The polarized diSPIM microscope, which can image full 3D orientation and position of molecules in cells. The instrument was constructed in the Hari Shroff lab at the National Institute of Biomedical ...

URBANA-CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WKRC/CNN Newsource) - A group of scientists created a microscopic hand to grab and remove COVID-19 particles. They said it might even be able to target cancer cells. Scientists ...

It is 7 am, the alarm clock rings—you open your eyes, swing your legs out of bed, give a talk at work, play a tennis match in the evening. Billions of nerve cells that make up the gray matter in our ...

Human sperm can swim through surprisingly viscous fluids with ease – and they seemingly defy Newton's third law of motion to do so. To figure out how they slither through substances that should, in ...

Occult microscopic endometriosis is a form of endometriosis that’s difficult for doctors to detect with standard diagnostic techniques. Symptoms include pelvic pain that worsens before or during your ...

In 2022 alone, over 20 million people were diagnosed with cancer, and nearly 10 million died from the disease, according to the World Health Organization. While the reaches of cancer are massive, the ...
