Using an MRI scanner to steer mini-robots throughout the body

Work could move medicine ‘from science fiction to science feasibility’ Invasive surgical techniques – cutting through the breastbone for open heart surgery or making a large incision to inspect an abdominal tumor – allow physicians to effectively treat disease but can lead to sometimes serious complications and dramatically slow healing for the patient. Scientists instead

Artificial intelligence expedites breast cancer risk prediction by 30 times at 99 percent accuracy

Researchers at Houston Methodist have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) software that reliably interprets mammograms, assisting doctors with a quick and accurate prediction of breast cancer risk. According to a new study published in Cancer (early online Aug. 29), the computer software intuitively translates patient charts into diagnostic information at 30 times human speed and

Nanoscale trojan horses treat inflammation by overcoming the body’s complex defense mechanisms

Nanosized Trojan horses created from a patient’s own immune cells have successfully treated inflammation by overcoming the body’s complex defense mechanisms, perhaps leading to broader applications for treating diseases characterized by inflammation, such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. An international team, led by researchers at Houston Methodist Research Institute, described the creation of nanoparticles called

Nanoscale trojan horses treat inflammation by overcoming the body’s complex defense mechanisms

Preventing Memory Loss Before Symptoms

The Nantz National Alzheimer Center at Houston Methodist Hospital is part of a landmark clinical trial that looks at removing a key protein from the brain to prevent memory loss at least a decade before symptoms are noticed in healthy older adults. The national trial is focused on an investigational treatment to reduce the impact

Magnetic Nanoparticles Could Stop Blood Clot-Caused Strokes

By loading magnetic nanoparticles with drugs and dressing them in biochemical camouflage, Houston Methodist researchers say they can destroy blood clots 100 to 1,000 times faster than a commonly used clot-busting technique. The finding, reported in Advanced Functional Materials(early online), is based on experiments in human blood and mouse clotting models. If the drug delivery

Reprogrammed cells grow into new blood vessels

By transforming human scar cells into blood vessel cells, scientists at Houston Methodist may have discovered a new way to repair damaged tissue. The method, described in an upcoming issue of Circulation (early online), appeared to improve blood flow, oxygenation, and nutrition to areas in need. Cardiovascular scientists at Houston Methodist, with colleagues at Stanford
