MIT researchers have shown that they can accurately track muscle movement using tiny magnetic beads implanted in the muscle. These measurements could make it easier for people with certain types of amputations to control their prosthetic limbs. Until now, these…
Nanoscale vesicle-like particles isolated from the medicinal herb Selaginella doederleinii suppressed liver cancer cells and tumors in mice by inducing ferroptosis through the xCT/GPX4 axis, according to a new preclinical study. News Source: Nathaniel Bowman. (October 29, 2026). Plant-Derived Nanoparticles From a…
Train your team with RealPars Business. Book a demo They can be used to detect most materials like metal, plastic, and wood. They can even detect clear items like glass, plastic, and liquids depending on what type of sensor it…
Newswise — Researchers at the University of Eastern Finland have identified a transporter protein with the potential to open new avenues for improving creatine delivery into the brain and for developing other therapies targeting the central nervous system. The implications of…
Optical sensing is also applicable to real tissue. A study published in Analytical Chemistry used fiber-optic oxygen sensors to monitor oxygen consumption in the mouse liver. This rate was closely correlated with cellular energy reserves and declined by 60-70% following exposure…
A sensing architecture can leave transport, sequencing and bounded local decisions in the fluidic domain before an optical or electrical readout hands a validated state to conventional electronics Operations can become cheaper, safer or more trustworthy when they happen before…
Researchers found inspiration in the microhooks of parasites, barbed stingers of honeybees, and scaled quills of porcupines to create 4D-microneedle arrays that could end the need for painful hypodermic needles.(Credit: Getty Images) New 4D printed microneedles could one day eliminate…
A skin-mounted magnetometer array wirelessly tracks implanted magnetic beads to sense muscle dynamics and drive neuroprosthetic control. Researchers have developed a skin-mounted sensor system that wirelessly tracks tiny magnetic beads implanted inside muscle tissue, capturing detailed muscle movements in real…
This review examines imaging-based nanophotonic biosensing and interferometric label-free imaging, with a particular focus on vesicle detection. It specifically compares dielectric and plasmonic metasurfaces for label-free protein and extracellular vesicle detection, highlighting their respective advantages and limitations. Differences between resonances…
MIT researchers showed that tiny magnetic beads implanted in muscles can accurately track muscle movement in people with below-knee amputations, offering more accurate and stable control signals for prosthetic limbs than surface electrodes.
Engineering for the body: biomaterials and hydrogels, implants, prosthetics and bionics, biosensors and wearables, and systems that deliver drugs where they are needed.
