In the world of surgical oncology, precision is everything. The ability to distinguish tumor tissue from healthy tissue during surgery can mean the difference between complete removal and recurrence. Yet, many imaging agents that show promise in the lab fail […]
Spinal cord injuries are among the most devastating medical conditions, often resulting in lifelong paralysis and severe sensory loss. Affecting more than 15 million people worldwide, these injuries have historically lacked effective, restorative treatments. Now, a collaboration between Chalmers University
