Rice lab develops smallest free-floating bubbles for medical imaging
Bioengineering researchers at Rice University have developed ultrasmall, stable gas-filled protein nanostructures that could revolutionize ultrasound imaging and drug delivery. Unlike current microbubbles or nanobubbles that are too large to...
Putting the power of lab-based diagnostic testing in the palm...
Due to its high accuracy, lab-based PCR testing is the gold standard for infectious disease diagnostics. Yet PCR’s availability is limited, especially in low-resource settings. New research suggests a new...
Grady, Emory hep C breakthrough: ‘This device removes so many...
Working with the National Institutes of Health Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics Tech test validation center, researchers from Atlanta’s Emory University and Grady Health System have helped push hepatitis C testing...
Epigenetic Editor Silences Toxic Proteins in the Mouse Brain, Offering...
There are currently no treatments, preventive vaccines, or cures for prion diseases, which can be acquired, like mad cow disease, or inherited, like fatal familial insomnia. But an encouraging new...
