Researchers at UBC Okanagan have developed a 3D bioprinted model that closely mimics the complexity of living lung tissue, marking a major advance in how scientists study respiratory diseases and test new treatments. Led by Dr. Emmanuel Osei, the team
Dehydration is a silent but serious health risk—especially in hot climates, high-performance environments, and among vulnerable populations like the elderly or those with chronic illnesses. Yet tracking hydration in real time has remained elusive. Traditional methods like urine tests, blood

Researchers at the University at Buffalo have developed a new breast imaging system that could dramatically improve cancer detection—without the discomfort of traditional mammograms. Called OneTouch-PAT, the system combines photoacoustic and ultrasound imaging with artificial intelligence to produce high-resolution 3D
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have long been associated with restoring movement in patients with spinal cord injuries or Parkinson’s disease. But a new study from Vanderbilt University suggests that BCIs could also serve as “electroceuticals”—devices that substitute pharmaceuticals by directly modulating

Delivering drugs to the brain has always been a high-stakes challenge. The blood-brain barrier (BBB)—a tightly regulated shield of cells—blocks over 98% of small molecule drugs, making treatment of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s notoriously difficult. Now, researchers at
