The molecules in our bodies are in constant communication. Some of these molecules provide a biochemical fingerprint that could indicate how a wound is healing, whether or not a cancer treatment is ...

At today’s International Solid-State Circuit Conference (ISSCC2011), imec, Holst Centre and NXP present a versatile ultra-low power biomedical signal processor, CoolBio™, meeting the requirements of ...

MIT scientists find that motor neuron growth increased significantly over 5 days in response to biochemical (left) and mechanical (right) signals related to exercise. The green ball represents cluster ...

With the antibacterial system in place, researchers created precise bacterial patterns. They spread nanoparticle-coated bacteria on mixed cellulose ester membranes and exposed them to light through a ...

When pain signals are passed along the nervous system, proteins called calcium channels play a key role. Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have now pinpointed the exact location of a ...

A new paper written by a theoretical physicist at Howard University claims that aneural eukaryotic cells could process information up to a billion times faster than typical biochemical processes. This ...

New transistor technology boosts the body's electrochemical signals by 1,000 times, enabling diagnostic and disease-monitoring implants. The molecules in our bodies are in constant communication. Some ...

When pain signals are passed along the nervous system, proteins called calcium channels play a key role. Researchers have now pinpointed the exact location of a specific calcium channel fine-tuning ...

Researchers have developed a new technology that can help accurately measure data from faint electrical signals within the human body to provide diagnostic information for improved healthcare and ...
