Tripling the storage time of human donor livers is really going to help

NIH-funded research project develops new method to preserve human livers for transplantation Scientists have greatly extended the amount of time human livers can be stored for transplantation by modifying a previous protocol to extend the viability of rat livers. Previously, human livers were only viable for an average of nine hours, but the new method

Dissolvable microneedle skin patch for type 2 diabetes

NIH animal study shows dissolvable microneedles trigger body’s own insulin response For millions of people with type 2 diabetes, ongoing vigilance over the amount of sugar, or glucose, in their blood is the key to health. A finger prick before mealtimes and maybe an insulin injection is an uncomfortable but necessary routine. Researchers with NIH’s

New nanovaccine can carry multiple weapons to fight tumors

Vaccine stimulates multi-pronged immune attack, inhibits tumor-induced immune suppression Scientists are using their increasing knowledge of the complex interaction between cancer and the immune system to engineer increasingly potent anti-cancer vaccines. Now researchers at the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) have developed a synergistic nanovaccine packing DNA and RNA sequences that modulate

Wearable biosensors will revolutionize the health care model

Your watch might be able to tell you it’s time to call in sick. Researchers supported by the National Institutes of Health have revealed the ability of wearable biosensors, similar to the Apple Watch or Fitbit, to detect physiological changes that may indicate illness, even before symptoms appear. The findings, published Jan. 12, 2017, in

First-in-human application of a new imaging agent to help find prostate cancer in both early and advanced stages

In the featured article from the February 2017 issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, researchers document the first-in-human application of a new imaging agent to help find prostate cancer in both early and advanced stages and plan treatment. The study indicates that the new agent—a PET radiotracer—is both safe and effective. The new agent

Tracking brain activity during human thought

Fast fMRI tracks brain activity during human thought for first time By significantly increasing the speed of functional MRI (fMRI), NIBIB-funded researchers have been able to image rapidly fluctuating brain activity during human thought. fMRI measures changes in blood oxygenation, which were previously thought to be too slow to detect the subtle neuronal activity associated

A wearable blood-flow sensor for vascular disease monitoring

Frequent measurement of blood flow changes could improve the ability of health care providers to diagnose and treat patients with vascular conditions, such as those associated with diabetes and high blood pressure. A U.S.-Chinese team that included researchers from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering(NIBIB) and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute,

Bioengineered sunscreen blocks skin penetration and toxicity

New sunscreen encased in nanoparticles eliminates cancer-causing potential of traditional sunscreens A research team including NIBIB-funded scientists has developed ananotechnology-based sunscreen that provides excellent protection from ultraviolet (UV) damage while eliminating a number of harmful effects of currently used sunscreens. The team encapsulated the UV-blocking compounds in bio-adhesive nanoparticles, which adhere to the skin well,

Silk and Ceramics Offer Hope for Long-term Repair of Joint Injuries

Bioengineered scaffold combines two materials to retain flexibility, resilience, in cell culture Complete joint replacement, while highly successful, is major surgery with rigorous and often painful therapy regimens and lengthy recovery time. Driven by the need to develop more effective therapies requiring less recovery time for common joint conditions such as osteoarthritis, an international team

Completely paralyzed man voluntarily moves his legs

Robotic step training and noninvasive spinal stimulation enable patient to take thousands of steps A 39-year-old man who had been completely paralyzed for four years was able to voluntarily control his leg muscles and take thousands of steps in a “robotic exoskeleton” device during five days of training — and for two weeks afterward —
