Researchers have developed a novel retinal prosthesis made from tellurium nanowires that can restore partial vision in blind mice and even grant near-infrared vision to sighted macaques. This implant works by efficiently converting both visible and near-infrared light into electrical signals that the brain can interpret. This breakthrough offers a promising path for restoring sight…
Scientists have developed a new method to 3D print tissues directly inside the body without the need for surgery. This innovative technique, called deep tissue in vivo sound printing (DISP), uses injectable bioinks that solidify into desired structures when exposed to ultrasound waves. Researchers successfully printed tissues in rabbits and mice and even created structures…
For the first time, doctors have utilized a gene-editing therapy tailored to a baby born with a rare, life-threatening genetic disorder. The treatment involved infusing billions of microscopic gene editors to target and repair a specific mutation in the baby’s liver. Early results indicate the therapy has at least partially reversed the condition, potentially preventing…
