Stem Cell Transplants Found Safe for Spinal Cord Injuries
Results from a clinical trial testing transplants of neural stem cells for spinal cord injuries show the therapies are safe for patients, with signs of improvement in most participants 1 to 2 years after treatment.
-
Nanoscale Cell-Like Robots Shown to Clean Blood
Engineering researchers developed tiny robotic devices, powered by ultrasound and designed to look and act like blood cells, which in lab tests cleared human blood of dangerous bacteria and toxins.
-
Data Tools Designed for Genomics-Based Precision Cancer Care
A computerized system is available that analyzes the genomic composition of cancer patients and recommends personalized treatments that its designers say take into account a larger array of factors than comparable systems.
