Science and technology, explained simply
Doctors from the University Hospital of Würzburg in Germany have successfully tested a new method of treating knee injuries. According to a press release, as part of an initiative called ENCANTO, scientists have demonstrated the possibility of repairing damaged knee cartilage using tissue obtained from a patient’s nasal septum. In the ENCANTO study, focal cartilage […]
Researchers from the University of Madison have printed functional human brain tissue using 3D printing for the first time, according to the university’s website. Here’s why it’s important. A team of scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison has developed the first 3D-printed brain tissue that can grow and function like typical brain tissue. Instead of […]
A team of researchers has developed a simulation of the human heart that will be used to test drugs against cancer. The heart chip, developed by researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, is made from human hiPSC stem cells and is capable of beating independently at about 60 beats per minute. Scientists will […]
American scientists have developed an artificial intelligence-based device for early diagnosis of the three most common types of cancer. The FDA has issued a permit for its use This was reported by New Atlas. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the first artificial intelligence-based portable medical device, DermaSensor, to help doctors detect […]
The world’s first partial heart transplant, performed almost two years ago, has led to positive results. The patient now has functioning valves and arteries that grow in parallel with the transplant. Pro tse pishe Interesting Engineering. The operation was performed by Duke Health specialists. In the spring of 2022, they performed the procedure on a […]
SMS messaging for e-prescriptions has been restored in Ukraine. Patients will continue to be able to receive the necessary prescription medicines by providing the prescription number and redemption code. It is noted that recently, due to delays in the work of one of the mobile network operators, temporary changes in the issuance of e-prescriptions were […]
The discovery has important implications for the treatment of herpes simplex virus, as well as many other viruses that replicate in the cell nucleus, such as HIV and hepatitis. Scientists can now develop more effective drugs because they better understand the mechanism of the virus’s attack on cells and the immune system’s work against the […]
If implants could be injected into the body in liquid form and then made solid on the spot, operations would become less invasive. The new 3D printing technique will allow creating implants inside the body using biocompatible ink activated by ultrasonic waves. It works like this: a special ink is injected into the desired area […]
American scientists from the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania have confirmed the effectiveness of proton radiation therapy for cancer, in which the entire course of treatment takes less than a second. The method is described in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, and Physics. Radiation therapy is one of the types […]
In Lviv, doctors from three cities successfully performed a rare operation – rotational plastic surgery. In order to preserve the functionality of 18-year-old Yulia’s leg with bone cancer, surgeons removed the middle part of the limb and sewed the lower part back on. This was reported by the St. Nicholas Children’s Hospital. Since the cancer […]
