Neuroengineers have created a tiny surgical implant that can electrically stimulate the brain and nervous system without using a battery or wired power supply.

Researchers are working on an entirely new way to detect blood clots, especially in pediatric patients.

An injectable electrode could prove a better way to ease chronic nerve pain than opioid painkillers or bulky and expensive implants, animal research suggests.

The podcast Epidemic, hosted by Dr. Celine Grounder and Robert Klain, featured episode 21: Are Antibodies the Holy Grail? Guests for this podcast episode are NIBIB's Kaitlyn Sadtler and NIAID's Matthew Memoli, who discuss the SARS-CoV-2 serology study they are conducting at NIH.

Dr. Kaitlyn Sadtler of the National Institutes of Health still identifies with her younger self, running through the sprinklers and going to the Frederick County Fair. She earned a bachelor's degree in biological sciences and a Ph.D.and now is an investigator at the NIBIB at the NIH in Bethesda.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin (UW) are adapting a minimally invasive, safer approach to electrically treat pain directly at the source as part of the NIH Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) Initiative.

To counter drug resistance, scientists must engineer new drugs to kill mutated cancer cells or pathogens. Now, Penn State engineers have developed a new approach for predicting which mutation has expanded the most in a population and should be targeted to design the most effective new drug.

Focused ultrasound, the researchers hope, could revolutionize treatment for conditions from Alzheimer's to epilepsy to brain tumors -- and even help repair the devastating damage caused by stroke.

The Tissue Chips in Space initiative is an ambitious collaborative endeavor that brings NIBIB, NCATS, and the ISS U.S. National Laboratory together to rapidly advance tissue chip technology for biomedical research.
