Scientists have discovered that a chemical photoswitch called AAQ has the ability to temporarily restore some vision in blind mice. The research team is now working on developing an improved compound that may someday restore vision in people with blindness caused by retinitis pigmentosa and age-related macular degeneration. Both conditions... Read More

Could 3D printing be the key to engineering 3D tissue structures, such as full-size human organs for use in transplants? Bioengineers have long been able to grow various types of living tissues in laboratories for many purposes, including regenerative medicine and testing. Lab-grown meat even has the potential to be...

UCLA engineers have developed a new optical microscope equipped with the world’s fastest camera. This advancement could lead to much earlier detection of cancer and other diseases. For example, because there are only a handful of circulating cancer tumor cells among a billion healthy cells, they are very hard to... Read More

Researchers at Harvard University’s Wyss Institute have developed a new biomimetic strategy to deliver blood-clot-dissolving nanotherapeutics directly to obstructed blood vessels. This technique uses only a fraction of the drug dosage that is normally required, reducing the risk of bleeding complications. Their inspiration came from the way that blood platelets... Read More
