For IVG to move from the research lab to a fertility clinic would require permission from the Food and Drug Administration. It’s still unclear if that’s something the agency would be able to consider — a spending bill rider currently prevents the FDA from receiving any requests to pursue ...
Borrowing microfabrication techniques from electrical engineering, theresearchers have created a specially prepared surface that holds millionsof cell-sized squares, or "corrals," composed of an artificialmembrane that closely mimics the surface of living cells. According tothe researchers, the ability to...
Bao's research group previously created a sensor so sensitive to pressure that it could detect pressures "well below the pressure exerted by a 20 milligram bluebottle fly carcass" that the researchers tested it with. This latest sensor is not quite that sensitive, she said, but that is because...
The researchers created a SMART vaccinia virus that replicates normally to induce protection, but can be turned off in response to antibiotics if the person who has been vaccinated develops complications that are serious enough to require intervention. "We basically made the virus susceptible to antib...
The expectation is that men on the KU pill would experience no change in theirlibidoand, if they stopped taking it, would regain full fertility within a few weeks. Tash's work is part of a promising array of newbirth controlmethods for men that are under development in laboratories or alre...
the best way researchers have of keeping ahead of them is by finding them as soon as possible after they develop and then adding them to a database. Ideally, every strain of flu, and every variant would wind up in the database shortly after being created. Unfortunately, as those writing ...
