ETH researchers have developed a new gene switch that can be activated using a commercially available nitroglycerine patch applied to the skin. One day, researchers want to use switches of this kind to trigger cell therapies for various metabolic diseases.
In this episode, we explore how a generative AI tool is marking a major milestone in biology and accelerating advancements in healthcare, genetics, and drug development.
Scientists at .Neurorestore (EPFL/CHUV/UNIL) have developed an approach that combines rehabilitation robotics with spinal cord stimulation to restore movement in people with spinal cord injuries. The technology enhances rehabilitation and enables activities like cycling and walking outdoors.
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a system that helps patients learn to move their paralyzed arms and hands quickly after a stroke. This requires targeted stimulation of the muscles in the forearm and the support of an exoskeleton.
In this episode, we discuss a new anti-venom therapy designed with the assistance of AI led by a superstar team of researchers which includes a Nobel laureate!
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have invented an entirely new field of microscopy, nuclear spin microscopy. The team can visualize magnetic signals of nuclear magnetic resonance with a microscope.
Using an approach called DNA origami, scientists at Caltech have developed a technique that could lead to cheaper, reusable biomarker sensors for quickly detecting proteins in bodily fluids, eliminating the need to send samples out to lab centers for testing.
Trained on a dataset that includes all known living species—and a few extinct ones, Evo2 can predict the form and function of proteins in the DNA of all domains of life, identify molecules useful for bioengineering and medicine
To advance modern medicine, EPFL researchers are developing AI-based diagnostic tools. Their goal is to predict the best treatment a patient should receive.
Scientists at ITMO University have developed multiple-use sensor substrates coated with gold nanoparticles for use in gauging the precise ratio of chlorogenic acid in natural and manufactured raw material.
