Blood vessels twist, branch, narrow, and balloon in ways that dramatically affect how blood flows — but most lab models have long treated them like straight pipes. Researchers at Texas A&M have now ...
Space exploration activity has been increasing. In turn, researchers are more interested than ever in uncovering more about how space travel affects human health and the progression of disease.
Veredus Laboratories announced that the current version of VereFlu detects the current subtype of H7N9 (Avian Flu) that is responsible for the Flu outbreak in China. H7N9 is the latest mutation to ...
Dr. Vadim Jucaud's lab at the Terasaki Institute has introduced a new organ-on-a-chip platform that recapitulates age-dependent immune responses, offering a more accurate testing bed for evaluating ...
Umut Gurkan, the Wilbert J. Austin Professor of Engineering, served as lead author on a paper published in Lab on a Chip Journal. Titled “Next generation microfluidics: fulfilling the promise of ...
A new fabrication process could make it easier and less expensive to incorporate optical sensing onto lab-on-a-chip devices. These devices integrate laboratory functions onto a plastic or glass "chip" ...
Multinational technology giant IBM has developed a “lab-on-a-chip” device that’s designed to separate biological particles at the nanoscale to enable physicians to detect diseases such as cancer ...
Programmable photonics devices, which use light to perform complex computations, are emerging as a key area in integrated photonics research. Unlike conventional electronics that transmit signals with ...
