Molecular analysis of biological samples is typically outsourced to well-equipped (and cost-intensive) laboratories. However, there are times when sample diagnosis and DNA sequencing is needed quickly, needed in…
Physically simulating human organs on computer chips in a lab setting and studying their reactions to drugs and other stimuli could be the future of medical research.
Using a neurological interface to control a mechanical exoskeleton might help paralyzed individuals regain partial control of their biological skeleton.
Precision medicine aims to tailor medical treatments to each patient’s individual genetic profile and biology. Cancer researchers know that patients with particular mutations may respond better to certain…
While a hologram will never completely replace the learning opportunities a cadaver affords, Microsoft is hopeful this technology will enhance any medical school experience.
Genome sequencing analyzes and records genetic markers across an individual’s genome. This analytical technology can help patients learn about their family history, their risk levels for certain diseases,…
Yao Shi, a graduate student research assistant at the University of Michigan, has developed an antenna capable of transmitting radio signals through body tissues up to 5 times…
Sequencing an individual patient’s genome is no longer cost prohibitive. Physicians can use this information to develop custom-tailored treatments that have shown efficacy in other patients with similar…
