A new prosthetic hand offers amputees the ability to “feel” grasping and manipulating objects—and it’s already being used at home, outside the laboratory setting, for several months.
Scientists use nano or microneedles to provide quicker diagnosis of major illness.
Gain access to free tools and resources from AABME, an initiative designed to stimulate biomedical innovation by bringing together and providing resources to the biomedical engineering community.
Biomedical engineers experiment with nano DNA origami on mice to eventually prevent acute kidney failure in humans.
The ovipositor of a parasitic wasp inspires a mechanical engineer and zoologist to design a new steerable needle for surgery.
Scientists have created nano tweezers that extract single molecules from cells without destroying them. The device should help researchers study the inner workings of cells in real-time.
Engineers at Virginia Tech have created a new methodology for building bacteria-resistant surfaces for medical devices and other applications that prevent infection and could save lives.
A new organ-on-a-chip device confirms that damage to the intestinal barrier triggers gut inflammation, which could lead to Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis.
Engineers develop the first bioelectronic medicine—an implantable device that stimulates nerve regeneration with electrical pulses. Once the nerve heals, the device disintegrates and the body absorbs it without toxic side effects.
A new, flexible oxygen mapping device could help to prevent rejection of organ transplants and skin grafts.
