Preliminary data from the ESHRE European IVF Monitoring (EIM) Consortium reveals a steady and progressive rise in the use of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). In 2022, a total of 960,347 ART treatment cycles were reported by 1,371 clinics across 39 European countries, a 15.6% reduction from the 1,137,177 cycles reported in 2021.
A new review highlights advancements in thermoelectric generators (TEGs) that use solar energy and radiative cooling to produce clean electricity. This breakthrough technology shows promise for off-grid power solutions and sustainable energy applications.
The review highlights how disrupting the cell cycle, a process often hijacked by cancer cells for unchecked growth offers a promising strategy for cancer therapy. It focuses on drugs that precisely target key cell cycle regulators, several of which are already in clinical use. By showcasing the latest breakthroughs and outlining future research directions, the article provides a comprehensive look at how targeting cell cycle dysregulation is shaping the future of cancer care.
The development of renewable polymers for use in healthcare has shown excellent results, especially in biomedicine, such as in controlled drug release. Using materials like cellulose, chitosan, and starch, scientists have developed advanced ways of applying these polymers to the human body. However, turning these discoveries into commercially available products is still a significant challenge.
Researchers have unveiled the transformative potential of micropattern arrays—engineered microstructures—to probe and guide cellular biomechanics. These arrays not only help decipher how cells sense physical cues but also steer tissue regeneration and stem cell fate, paving the way for breakthroughs in tissue regeneration, organ-on-a-chip systems, and disease modeling.
A team of researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi has uncovered a key mechanism that helps shape how our brains are wired, and what can happen when that process is disrupted.
