Pioneering Advancements: Complex Kidney Structures Imaged Successfully Without Contrast Agents Using Ultrafast Ultrasound
Researchers at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) have delved into the study of kidney diseases by employing ultrafast ultrasound technology capable of capturing a remarkable 1,000 images within a mere one-second timeframe.
NUS Researchers Develop Magnetic Gel Accelerating Diabetic Wound Healing by Threefold
A group of researchers has developed a groundbreaking magnetic hydrogel for wound healing, particularly beneficial for diabetic wounds. This advanced hydrogel, incorporating both skin cells for regeneration and magnetic particles, offers a holistic approach to wound healing. It significantly expedites the healing process through multiple mechanisms. To enhance its therapeutic impact, an external wireless magnetic device is employed to activate skin cells, resulting in faster healing, reduced recurrence rates, and potentially fewer limb amputations for diabetic patients.
