In May 2020, a team led by thoracic surgeon Konrad Hoetzenecker of the Department of Surgery of MedUni Vienna and Vienna General Hospital performed a lung transplant on a 44-year-old patient who had been seriously ill with Covid-19, making her the first patient in Europe to receive a lung transplant for this indication. The Vienna […]
Scientists at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have developed a novel type of implantable sensor which can be operated in the body for several months to detect concentrations of substances or drugs in the body. Until now implantable sensors have not been suitable to remain in the body permanently but had to be replaced after […]
INBRAIN Neuroelectronics, a spin-off Graphene Flagship partners the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) and ICREA, Spain, has received a €14.35 million Series A investment, one of the biggest rounds in the Spanish MedTech industry. The investment will allow INBRAIN to bring their novel neurotechnology to humans for the first time. INBRAIN Neuroelectronics was […]
REGEnLIFE, a company specialized in the research and development of innovative photo-medical technologies for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, has seen promising results of the pilot clinical trial evaluating its technology in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The results were presented by Professor Jacques Touchon, scientific advisor on the trial, at the 15th International Conference on […]
Virtual events are likely to remain a firm fixture for some time, but do industry professionals like them? A recent survey found that while more than three quarters of survey respondents from the pharmaceutical and medical device sectors felt that virtual events would become much more popular in future – rivalling face-to-face events in number […]
SARS-CoV-2 mutations similar to those in the B1.1.7 UK variant could arise in cases of chronic infection, where treatment over an extended period can provide the virus multiple opportunities to evolve, say scientists. Given that both vaccines and therapeutics are aimed at the spike protein, which we saw mutate in our patient, our study raises […]
A study from the Centre for Phage Technology, part of Texas A&M’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and Texas A&M AgriLife Research, shows how the “hidden” genes in bacteriophages – types of viruses that infect and destroy bacteria – may be key to the development of a new class of antibiotics for human health. […]
Cells used to study the human blood-brain barrier in the lab aren’t what they seem, throwing nearly a decade’s worth of research into question, a new study from scientists at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and Weill Cornell Medicine suggests. The team also discovered a possible way to correct the error, raising […]
