Potential New Biomarkers for Monitoring Alzheimer’s Disease
Scientists in Italy aim to keep Alzheimer’s disease in check.
Implantable Electronics for Cerebral Aneurysm Monitoring
A fully printed, wireless, stretchable, implantable biosystem that offers batteryless, real-time monitoring of cerebral aneurysm hemodynamics is developed.
Cell-free DNA Fragments to Identify Cancer
It is now possible to distinguish the pattern of DNA fragments of normal cells from cancerous cells within the blood of individuals with surgically-operable early stage cancers.1 Regions of the genome have their own local differences in cancer-specific,...
