'Organs-on-a-chip' system sheds light on gut-brain connection
Researchers have developed an “organs-on-a-chip” system that replicates interactions between the brain, liver, and colon.
Wearable sensor for patients with inflammatory bowel disease
Researchers have designed a wearable device that monitors sweat for biomarkers that could signal flare-ups of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
A bacteria-grabbing smart capsule
Researchers have developed a 3D printed ingestable capsule that can capture samples throughout the gut and safely transport these outside the body for testing.
AI may be able to ID drug-resistant superbugs
Scientists have shown that different strains of the same bacterial pathogen can be distinguished by a machine learning analysis of their growth dynamics alone.
A genetic nano-toolkit for new biomaterials
Researchers developed a modular system for the genetic reprogramming of bacteria, thereby turning the organisms into cell factories for multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles.
Using AI to assess ulcerative colitis
Researchers develop an AI system that effectively evaluates endoscopic mucosal findings from patients with ulcerative colitis without the need for biopsy collection.
Deep learning yields new antibiotic
An AI model identifies a powerful new drug that can kill many species of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Rapid test to diagnose asthma
Researchers use machine learning to developing a rapid test that requires only a drop of blood to diagnose asthma.
About the end of medicine, as we know it
Our health system today can no longer be sustained in its existing form. It has become too expensive and too ineffective.
CRISPR repurposed to develop better antibiotics
Researchers have repurposed the gene-editing tool CRISPR to study which genes are targeted by particular antibiotics, providing clues on how to improve existing antibiotics or develop new ones.
Ingestible “bacteria-on-a-chip” could help diagnose disease
MIT researchers have built an ingestible sensor equipped with genetically engineered bacteria that can diagnose bleeding in the stomach or other gastrointestinal problems.
