Inspired by toys from her childhood, bioengineer Michelle Khine designs microscale diagnostics and wearable biosensors with the hope of revolutionizing how people monitor their health.

Scientists identified a DNA repair gene that may hold the key to treating chronic kidney disease.

Engineered particles improve the efficiency of base editor delivery.

Between invasive surgery or risky laser therapy, people suffering from severe eye floaters have no great treatment options. Now, with the development of a safer and less invasive nanoparticle-based therapy, people with floaters may finally get their vision and quality of life back.

As the science on vaccination and natural infection-based immunity against COVID-19 variants continues to evolve, accurately communicating study results and their limitations has never been more important.

Scientists discovered that healthy epithelial cells recognize their precancerous neighbors via the expression of proteins normally only found on immune cells. The proteins that mediate this recognition between healthy and precancerous cells provide a potential new therapeutic avenue for treating cancer.

By using extracellular vesicles to target specific neurons in the hypothalamus, scientists induced weight loss in a mouse model of obesity without altering its diet or exercise.

The company plans to develop more specialized, antibody-based GPCR drugs to treat a myriad of diseases. They recruited a leader in overseeing successful clinical trials to get the job done.

Clinicians, researchers, and communicators are developing more effective strategies to disseminate information about clinical trials to reach a wider audience. They ultimately expect that this will lead to more inclusive trials.
