NIH launches Home Test to Treat, a pilot COVID-19 telehealth...
NIH has launched the Home Test to Treat program, an entirely virtual community health intervention that will provide free COVID-19 health services—at-home rapid tests, telehealth sessions and at-home treatments—in selected...
Mature 'lab grown' neurons hold promise for neurodegenerative disease
NIBIB-funded researchers at Northwestern Universtiy have created the first highly mature neurons from human induced pluripotent stem cells, a feat that opens new opportunities for medical research and potential transplantation...
Let’s clear things up: how do glassfrogs achieve transparency?
Using state-of-the-art imaging technology, NIH-funded researchers have found the secret behind the glassfrog’s ability to become transparent, an effective form of camouflage. Future research may provide insights into disorders related...
New tool uses ultrasound 'tornado' to break down blood clots
Researchers have developed a new tool and technique that uses ‘vortex ultrasound’ — a sort of ultrasonic tornado — to break down blood clots in the brain. The new approach...
A stretchable, wearable patch for cardiac ultrasound
After years of research, an NIH-funded team has developed a wearable cardiac ultrasound imager that can non-invasively capture real-time images of the human heart. The prototype patch, which is about...
Novel microneedle bandage could save lives by stopping blood loss...
A soldier suffers a serious gunshot wound on a remote battlefield or a machinist has a work accident and gets stuck in traffic on the way to the hospital. Secondary,...
High-tech hospital uses artificial intelligence in patient care
Doctors at the University of Florida Health Center are using artificial intelligence to help monitor their patients. The findings will help them develop algorithms that will soon provide real-time health...
Focused ultrasound technique leads to release of neurodegenerative disorders biomarkers
New research found that using focused-ultrasound-mediated liquid biopsy in a mouse model released more tau proteins and another biomarker into the blood than without the intervention. This noninvasive method could...
