Thought generated speech
Edward Chang and UCSF colleagues are developing technology that will translate signals from the brain into synthetic speech. The research team believes that the sounds would be nearly as sharp and normal as a real person’s...
3D printed, vascularized heart, using patient’s cell, biological materials
Tel Aviv University professor Tal Dvir has printed a 3D vascularized engineered heart, including cells, blood vessels, ventricles and chambers, using a patient’s own cell and biological materials. A biopsy of fatty tissue was taken from...
MRI detected intracellular calcium signaling
Alan Jasanoffand MIT colleagues are using MRI to monitor calcium activity at a much deeper level in the brain than previously possible, to show how neurons communicate with each other. The research team believes that...
Photonics for at-home disease detection
Hatice Altug and EPFL BIOS Laboratorycolleagues are developing photonic chips that count individual biomolecules and determine their location. This could identify trace amounts of undesirable biomarkers in blood or saliva and serve as an early-warning system for...
Starving cancer stem cells as a new approach to glioblastoma
Luis Parada and Sloan Kettering colleagues are focusing on cancer stem cells as a new approach to glioblastoma. Like normal stem cells, cancer stem cells have the ability to rebuild a tumor, even after most...
