Glioblastoma remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat because its cells infiltrate healthy brain tissue, making complete surgical removal nearly impossible. Even when surgeons remove all visible tumor tissue, microscopic clusters often remain and lead to recurrence. The […]
People living with Parkinson’s disease often face the challenge of maintaining consistent medication levels throughout the day. The effectiveness of treatment depends on how well the body absorbs and metabolizes each dose, yet traditional monitoring methods require blood samples or

Severe spinal cord injuries often leave people without any ability to move or feel below the level of damage, and current treatments offer limited recovery. Researchers at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have developed a double neural bypass system

Many wearable health sensors are uncomfortable, noticeable or distracting, especially when placed on the face. These devices can make people self‑conscious and even change the very signals they are meant to measure. Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed
Invisible Skin Sensors Capture Facial and Brain Signals Without Being Seen Read More »
Many medical sensors used to monitor heart and muscle activity can feel stiff, uncomfortable or difficult to keep attached to the skin, especially when patients move or sweat. Engineers at the Pennsylvania State University have developed paintable electrodes that can
Paintable Electrodes Enable Flexible and Artistic Wearable Health Sensors Read More »
Understanding how sleep supports brain health requires tools that can capture subtle physiological changes without disrupting rest. During sleep, the glymphatic system clears metabolic waste by moving cerebrospinal fluid through channels around blood vessels and exchanging it with interstitial fluid
Neurological disorders remain difficult to treat because most neuromodulation technologies can only activate or suppress neural activity in one direction, limiting their ability to provide fine control over complex brain circuits. A research team at Korea University College of Medicine
Patients with severe sight loss or loss of motor function often have few treatment options because damaged neural pathways cannot be repaired easily, leaving them without reliable ways to regain vision or tactile sensation. Researchers now report that two major
Chronic pain and movement disorders remain difficult to treat because many therapies require invasive surgery, implanted hardware, or long term medication that may not provide consistent relief. Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi and Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi have developed an
Understanding how neurons communicate within deep brain regions has long been limited by tools that can either record electrical activity or manipulate specific cells, but not both at the same time. A new technology called “Neuropixels Opto” is addressing this
