Researchers use novel machine-learning algorithm to create atlas of paediatric cancer with potential as universal diagnostic platform

In the first broad comparison of paediatric and adult cancer, researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have analyzed 13,000 individual cancers and built an ‘atlas’ of paediatric cancer using a novel machine-learning algorithm.

Precision magnetics could be game-changer for therapy-resistant brain cancers

Precision magnetics could be game-changer for therapy-resistant brain cancers

Scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Toronto (U of T) have combined forces to develop a new approach to potentially treat tumour cells, called mechanical nanosurgery, even for aggressive, chemoresistant cancers.

Tuning mechanical properties of bioink according to temperature and 3d scaffold printing

Researchers develop safe bioink for 3D printing artificial organs

The Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a new type of bioink material for 3D bioprinting that can be used to create artificial tissues and organs. The new bioink is based on a temperature-sensitive poly(organophosphazene) hydrogel.

‘Biohybrid’ device could restore function in paralysed limbs

Researchers have developed a new type of neural implant that could restore limb function to amputees and others who have lost the use of their arms or legs.

3D-printed patient-specific robotic heart replicas help doctors tailor cardiac treatments

3D-printed patient-specific robotic heart replicas help doctors tailor cardiac treatments

No two hearts beat alike. The size and shape of the heart can vary from one person to the next. These differences can be particularly pronounced for people living with heart disease, as their hearts and major vessels work harder to overcome any compromised function. MIT engineers are hoping to help doctors tailor treatments to […]
