A team of neuroscientists and engineers has developed a tiny, implantable, closed-loop device that may replace medication or electronic stimulators for bladder disorders. The team from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago created a soft, implantable […]

7 diagnostic devices to boost healthcare in the developing world
The World Health Organization estimates that a quarter of death and disease globally is caused by hazards and environmental burdens in developing countries with little to no access to preventative care and diagnostic devices. Since developing countries are poor agricultural regions that are still becoming economically and socially advanced, it is harder for doctors to […]
Researchers develop luminesent carbon nanodots to track drug delivery
Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed photo-luminescent carbon nanodots that exhibit reversible switching of their optical properties in cancer cells. The team’s work was published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. The carbon nanoparticles could be applied to intracellular imaging and drug delivery, the authors said. Get the full […]
