Figuring out how much medication a patient should be taking can be a tricky business. With that in mind, scientists have developed an implantable device that provides real-time readings on how much medication is currently in a person's bloodstream.
-
Scientists have developed nanosponges that are capable of neutralizing toxins in the bloodstream.
-
Scientists have developed injectable microparticles containing oxygen gas, that could be used to raise blood oxygen levels when a patient's lungs aren't working or their airway is blocked.
-
Engineers at Stanford University have demonstrated a tiny, wirelessly powered, self-propelled medical device that could be navigated through the bloodstream.
-
A new device uses light to non-invasively monitor blood oxygenation in the brains of stroke patients.
-
Scientists have created a "microvascular stamp," that causes new blood vessels to grow in directed patterns on biological tissue.
-
A nanoparticle-based process allow blood clots to show up on a new type of CT scan.
-
Utilizing human lung and blood vessel cells, researchers have created a device that mimics a living, breathing human lung, mounted on a microchip.
