Aug 26, 2020Scientists Propose Self-Forming Multichannel Nerve Guidance Conduit for Peripheral Nerve RegenerationResearchers fabricated a self-forming multichannel nerve guidance conduit, which was based on a degradable shape memory polymer, and realized the rapid self-forming of multichannel conduit by using... Repairing peripheral nerve injury, especially long-range defects of thick nerves, is a great challenge in the clinic due to their limited regeneration capability.Nerve guidance conduits with multic... -
Aug 17, 2020Researchers Propose Novel Needle Deflection Modeling and Preoperative Trajectory Planning for Insertion into Multilayered TissuesResearchers proposed a preoperative needle insertion trajectory planning method that includes needle deflection modeling, insertion angle correction and needle trajectory optimization. Percutaneous needle insertion is a widely used technique in needle-based interventions such as biopsy and ablation. However, it is difficult to achieve high targeting accuracy due to needle deflect... -
Aug 14, 2020Scientists Prove SARS-CoV-2 Potential to Infect Human Brain OrganoidsResearchers from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and their collaborators from The University of Hong Kong (HKU) showed that SARS-CoV-2 can i... SARS-CoV-2 can infect human neural progenitor cells and brain organoids, as shown by researchers from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology (SIAT) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and th... -
Aug 11, 2020Scientists Propose a Parallel Coupled Cell-Centered Finite Volume Thermal Lattice Boltzmann Method on Unstructured GridsThis study was published in International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer. The lattice Boltzmann method (LBM), which originated from lattice gas automata (LGA), has become an effective and attractive numerical scheme in computational fluid dynamics (CFD).The conventional ... -
Aug 10, 2020Scientists Develop Biomimetic Nanoprobes to Image Brain TumorsThe study was published in Advanced Functional Materials. Glioma is the most malignant tumor of the central nervous system. The diagnosis and treatment of glioma are great challenges due to the presence of the blood brain barrier (BBB) and the complex bra... -
Aug 06, 2020Scientists Design and Produce an Injectable Thermo-sensitive Adhesive Hydrogel as Bioactive Wound DressingThis study was punished in Carbohydrate Polymers. As the largest organ of human body, skin provides a barrier outside the body. Once the skin suffers traumatic or surgical injury, the wound will destroy the barrier function and threaten people's l... -
Jul 29, 2020Computer-aided Systems May Speed up New Anticancer Drug DevelopmentThe study entitled "Discovering Anti-Cancer Drugs via Computational Methods" was published in Frontiers in Pharmacology. New drug discovery is a complicated, expensive, and time-consuming process. Traditional drug development pipeline needs 12 years and 2.7 billion USD on average.Reducing research cost and speeding u... -
Jul 29, 2020New Signal Extraction Technique Helps Breast Cancer ScreeningThe study entitle “Enhancing the X-ray differential phase contrast image quality with deep learning technique” was published in IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering journal, one of the wel... Mammogram is considered as the gold standard by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to screen for breast cancer, which is the second leading cancer worldwide. In spite of its easy access, convention...
