Switching off drug-resistant cancer

By manipulating cancer evolution, researchers destroy resistant tumors in animal model With their eclectic mix of mutations, tumors often survive drug treatment. In a new study, researchers found a way to use cancer’s evolutionary potential against it, destroying...

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...
