Medicine of the future

Spiritual practices may seem like a distant world from biomedical research, with its focus on molecular processes and repeatable results. However, off the coast of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), a

In a study published in Science Advances, scientists discovered how to control the beating of human heart cells in a dish using only light and graphene. Now, all potential drugs will be tested

A high-contrast black-and-white image of your bones is an effective tool for detecting fractures or breaks. But after more than 120 years, the X-ray image is getting a remarkable update with colorful 3D

An Israeli startup is in the final stages of developing a revolutionary portable ultrasound device that will allow pregnant women to check their babies' health using just a smartphone. The PulseNmore device

Using artificial intelligence, the scientists created a tool that allows anyone to see what the structures inside a cell look like - even when you only have images from the outside. Allen Integrated
