Rapidly regrowing cartilage with 'dancing molecules' and 'rubbery goo'
Posted by ArielTechGeek 92 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Two innovative new developments out of the same laboratory have demonstrated that degraded cartilage can be repaired and regrown, first by using "dancing molecules" to target the proteins needed for tissue regeneration, then with the aid of a hybrid biomaterial that acts as scaffolding to encourage cartilage growth. They have the potential to do what nature can't do on its own – regrow cartilage
Worm blob inspires creation of internal medical Band-Aid
Posted by ArielTechGeek 96 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A new medical 3D-printing method has been developed that takes its cues from the way tangles of worms interact in nature. The resultant material produced could patch up leaky heart parts or stabilize spinal discs, among other applications.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Hydrogels, Heart, Surgery, University of Colorado
Quitting antidepressants: Lack of medical support drives people online
Posted by ArielTechGeek 138 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Globally, antidepressant use is on the rise, with Australia, the UK and the US among the countries showing a steady increase in the rate of antidepressant prescriptions. Research has shown that this trend can be explained not by new patients being prescribed antidepressants but by patients already prescribed them taking them for longer.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTa
Proximity-sensing film lets people communicate by blinking
Posted by ArielTechGeek 168 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Human-machine interfaces such as smartphone screens would be a lot cleaner and longer-lasting if we didn't have to actually touch the darn things. Scientists have now created a proximity-sensing film which makes such a scenario more possible and practical than ever before.Continue ReadingCategory: TechnologyTags: Touch, American Chemical Society, Interface

Proteins are one of nature's most incredible and versatile inventions. These essential building blocks of life catalyze virtually every chemical reaction in the body, regulate gene expression and the immune system, make up the major structural elements of all cells, and form the major components of muscle.Continue ReadingCategory: TechnologyTags: Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning, Protein, G
Google's medical AI destroys GPT's benchmark and outperforms doctors
Posted by ArielTechGeek 185 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Doctors treat a multitude of patients daily, with needs ranging from simple to very complex. To deliver effective care, they must be familiar with each patient’s health record and keep up-to-date with the newest procedures and treatments. And then there’s the all-important doctor-patient relationship, built on empathy, trust, and communication. For an AI to come close to emulating a real-world do
Urine-powered nanobots shrink bladder cancer tumors in mice by 90%
Posted by ArielTechGeek 296 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have developed a novel way to treat bladder cancer. Powered by urea, a waste substance found in urine, nanobots propel themselves to and penetrate the tumor to deliver their onboard radioactive treatment. After one dose, tumors in mouse models shrank by almost 90%, opening the door to a promising alternative treatment for this cancer, which tends to recur.Continue ReadingCategory: Med
Medical nanobots could communicate by releasing molecules into bloodstream
Posted by ArielTechGeek 346 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Implants and tiny machines could eventually be working inside our bodies to help treat disease or monitor activity, but letting them communicate is tricky. Now scientists at EPFL have developed a system whereby devices can communicate by releasing molecules into a patient’s bloodstream.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: molecular biology, Molecules, Communications, Implant, Robotics, Nanomach
