Researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine have identified a unique chemical biomarker associated with epileptic brain tissue, according to an article published in the journal Epilepsia. The chemical signature can be detected noninvasively and could enable physicians to precisely locate small regions of abnormal brain tissue in early-stage patients. The researchers […]
3D model of female reproductive system could help test drugs for efficacy, safety
In January last year, the National Institutes of Health issued a new requirement for grant funding in basic science: Researchers must discuss how gender as a biological variable will impact their research. Teresa Woodruff, director of the Women’s Health Research Institute at Northwestern University, told Drug Delivery Business News that this helped support their effort to develop a model that […]
Supersonic spray produces nanomaterials for wearable electronics
Researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago and Korea University have developed an ultrathin, highly conductive nanomaterial produced by a supersonic spray, according to the study published in Advanced Functional Materials. The bendable, stretchable film could be used to develop wearable electronics. The film is composed of fused silver nanowires, made by spraying nanowire particles through […]
