Inspired by kirigami, scientists and engineers have developed an exciting device that is able to target medication delivery within the many tubular structures within the body.

Learn a little bit about how brain electrical signals are used in brain-machine interface (BMI) technology.

Cell culturing is an integral part of medical science research. Growing cells allows scientists to examine their behaviour to better understand disease progression and treatment.

Viruses are a rapidly evolving, potentially infectious entity that have caused significant decimation. Vaccines have been (and are being) developed to stop virus’ highly infectious nature by preemptively arming our immune system to recognize and destroy them. But how do they actually work?

In order to work properly, cells need to be in specific 3D orientations. The protein structure providing this function acts as scaffolding and is built by the cells in order to provide function and framework to organs. Scientists have now discovered that it is possible to wash away the cells and reuse this natural protein scaffold.

Building three-dimensional objects using a computer file is no longer a futuristic idea. Scientists are using 3D printers as a tool to make many wonderful things, including engineering tissue for medical treatment.

A single stem cell has all the information required to build an organism. Scientists study adult, inducible, and embryonic stem cells to better understand how they work and how their unique capabilities can be used in medicine..

Novel scientific research is guided and held accountable by international ethical bodies and principles. This includes stem cell research which has additional protocols and guidelines developed by specialists in both ethics and stem cell science fields.

Bioluminescence, or glowing naturally, is a beautiful phenomenon that occurs in jellyfish. Scientists won the Nobel Prize for identifying and adapting this ability to use as a tool in biomedical research.
