Scientists have made a major breakthrough in the accuracy and speed at which serious and often deadly pathogen infections can be diagnosed and treated. Often, this is time that is critically important in saving a patient's life.

An innovative biodegradable paper that sticks to the brain’s surface like a Band-Aid and delivers electrical stimulation wirelessly could revolutionize the treatment of neurological diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, according to a new study.

Researchers have harnessed the cancer-destroying abilities of the body’s natural killer cells. Nanodrones selectively target a tumor, enabling the killer cells suppress cancer growth, opening the door to novel, cancer-specific immunotherapies.

Senolytics, a new class of drugs that counter, or reverse, age-related health conditions, is a field of medical science swiftly gaining momentum. The latest, which uses molecular auto-assembly to destroy problematic senescent cells, shows great promise.

Octopi are well-known for their grabby tentacles. Now, scientists have developed a material that mimics the sucker discs on those tentacles. It could be used for adhesive pads that are reversible, reusable, fast-acting, and effective even in wet conditions.
