Scientists have developed a new way to track neural activity. The technique can target specific brain cells and relies on dyes that are brighter and more stable than those currently used.

Researchers have developed a gel that can be injected into the tissue lining the colon, forming a 'cushion' that makes it easier to remove precancerous polyps during a colonoscopy.

Researchers describe a new class of biocompatible probes, laser particles that can be inserted inside living cells.

Researchers have developed a significantly improved delivery mechanism for the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing method in the liver using biodegradable synthetic lipid nanoparticles.

Inspired by such natural designs, a team of researchers at Texas A&M University has developed an innovative way to control the hydrophobicity of a surface to benefit to the biomedical field.

Researchers have come up with a novel way to prevent fibrosis, which can lead to rejection of implantable medical devices, by incorporating a crystallized immunosuppressant drug into the devices.

Researchers have developed an improved technique for using magnetic nanoclusters to kill hard-to-reach tumors.

Researchers discovered a method for creating radioactive tracers to better track pharmaceuticals in the body as well as image diseases, such as cancer, and other medical conditions.

Researchers used focused ultrasound and intravenously injected microbubbles to make a localized, transient opening in the blood-brain barrier that allows drugs to cross through reversibly and noninvasively.

Bioengineers developed modular, injectable hydrogels enhanced by bioactive molecules anchored in the chemical crosslinkers that can be customized to help heal a variety of wounds.
