Cardiovascular disease may be the world's leading killer of men and women, but new technologies are in development that could help lessen its impact. Among them are a variety of innovative external and internal patches that employ flexible and stretc...
"The traditional way of delivering drugs has a very low efficiency. For instance, with solid tumors, drug delivery efficiency is reported to be lower than 1% [1], which means that 99% of the drug is elsewhere in the body causing side effects instead ...
The presence of artificial intelligence (AI) is spreading fast through almost every industry, and health care is no exception. Data-based decision-making software is becoming pervasive in all facets of modern life, and the AI-enabled chatbot ChatGPT ...
Measuring just a millimeter or two in diameter, brain organoids are a far cry from a fully functioning human brain. But these miniature tissues, typically derived from stem cells, are increasingly able to mimic the structure and function of our most ...
Even for humans, it can be challenging to recognize, interpret, and respond to emotions. Can artificial intelligence (AI) do any better? Technologies often referred to as "emotion AI" detect and analyze facial expressions, voice patterns, muscle acti...
