Microgrippers for myriad miniature biopsies

Typical diagnosis of upper urinary tract cancers requires removal of suspicious tissue with forceps, a technically challenging procedure that only samples one region of the organ. NIBIB-funded researchers are developing microgrippers that could be deployed throughout...

Forming an interdisciplinary future

These days, medical advances are the result of open lines of communication and collaboration between clinicians, scientists, and engineers. As this trend continues, and disciplines become increasingly intertwined, the ability to navigate partnerships across fields...

Custom alterations: mending genes for long-lasting effects

Researchers at UT Southwestern are working to bring in vivo gene editing to the fore. Through rational engineering of lipid nanoparticles, this collaborative team developed a way to effectively target specific organs in the body to precisely deliver therapeutic cargo,...
