Major limitation discovered in cellular biology analysis tool
Early embryonic development stage finally mapped in humans
Genetic risk factors identified for spine osteoarthritis
Gut microbiome–autism link flipped on its head
Smart bandage enables onsite chronic wound monitoring
Major limitation discovered in cellular biology analysis tool
The discovery will force the reassessment of a large amount of already-published scientific literature to determine if the reported observations are accurate.
Wearable injector can detect, reverse opioid overdose
The device, worn on the stomach, senses when a person stops breathing and injects naloxone — a lifesaving antidote that can restore respiration.
Early embryonic development stage finally mapped in humans
There is currently very little understanding of the crucial gastrulation stage that occurs shortly after the embryo implants in the womb.
E-cigarettes linked to increased risk of fragility fractures
E-cigarette use may be detrimental to bone health even in young adults.
CRISPR gene editing can favour cells with cancer-linked mutations
The findings point to a need for caution in the use of CRISPR-based gene therapies.
Smart bandage enables onsite chronic wound monitoring
The smart wearable sensor can conduct real-time, point-of-care assessment of chronic wounds wirelessly via an app.
