Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine have developed a COVID-19 breathalyzer test. The technology requires someone to breathe into it just once or twice, and it can then provide an indication if the person is infected with SARS-CoV-2 in as little as one minut...

Investigadores de la Universidad de Nueva York han desarrollado un nuevo método para atacar muchos virus que causan enfermedades. Para los virus con membrana lipídica, que incluyen muchos que comúnmente causan enfermedades, esta nueva técnica podría resultar fatal. Al apuntar ...

LumaFlo, una empresa de tecnología médica con sede en Israel, ha desarrollado una tecnología de descontaminación que no requiere luz ultravioleta, algo que puede resultar peligroso para las personas cercanas. La pandemia de COVID-19 puso de relieve la necesidad de tecnologías ...

Investigadores del Hospital Mount Sinai han desarrollado un tratamiento contra el cáncer basado en ARNm. El enfoque combina la administración de terapia con ARNm en nanopartículas de lípidos y también implica la administración conjunta de células dendríticas que también han si...

Científicos de la Universidad de Nueva York han desarrollado una terapia genética para el dolor crónico. La tecnología funciona dirigiéndose al canal de iones de sodio NaV1.7 presente en las neuronas, que es un componente importante de la respuesta al dolor. Los investigadores...

Researchers at Oregon State University have developed a drug delivery system that is intended to treat ectopic pregnancy. Often occurring in the fallopian tubes, ectopic pregnancies are non-viable and are the leading cause of maternal death in the first trimester. A drug calle...

Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences have developed a technique that allows them to 3D print a heart ventricle, that can then go on to beat rhythmically. The technology could allow researchers to create heart models to test new ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a bacteriophage system to identify and treat bacterial bladder infections. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria, but these microorganisms have fallen out of favor as a treatment method for infection since antibiotics came alo...

Researchers at the Harvard Wyss Institute have developed an anti-cancer biomaterial treatment that combines adoptive T cell therapy and cancer vaccine technology to treat solid tumors. The researchers have called their technique SIVET, which is short for “synergistic in situ v...

Researchers at Duke University have developed a gravity-powered microfluidic device that is intended for use as a diagnostic technology in low-resource areas. Microfluidics have enormous potential for point-of-care diagnostics, but the inclusion of tiny pumps and other sophist...
