Researchers at Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST), led by Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho from the Department of Bio and Brain Engineering, have developed a groundbreaking method to treat colon cancer by transforming cancer cells back into a state “resembling normal colon cells”. Unlike conventional therapies that aim to destroy cancer cells, which can […]
A San Jose company called Savor, employs a thermochemical process to produce animal-like fat without the environmental drawbacks of dairy or plant-based alternatives. This innovative method involves converting carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from water into fatty acids through heating and oxidation, bypassing the need for animal or plant sources altogether.

“According to a study published in Nature Materials, the researchers showed the material can be used to precisely stimulate neurons remotely and to bridge the gap in a broken sciatic nerve in a rat model.” Click here to continue reading
Researchers from the University of Minnesota have devised a novel method of deploying Hollywood-esque motion capture technology to assist the 3D printing of sensors onto organs that expand and contract. “We are pushing the boundaries of 3D printing in ways we never even imagined years ago,” said Professor Michael McAlpine, lead researcher on the project. […]
Scientists from the University of Grenoble have spent two years teaching a quadriplegic man to move his arms and legs, and even walk, using a brain-controlled AI exoskeleton. The 28-year-old patient, who had suffered from a cervical spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed from the shoulders down, came into the study with the ability […]
Dr. Anthony Atala grew a new bladder in a lab from a small section of Luke Massella’s bladder. Luke received the bladder as a transplant when he was 10 years old. The bladder has worked for 14 years without further surgery.
