Researchers at Oregon State University have developed and tested in a mouse model a new type of nanoparticle that enables the removal of melanoma tumors with a low-power laser.

If the power goes out during a heat wave, there’s nowhere more dangerous to be than where people spend most of their time — indoors. A new study led by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin is the first to assess the indoor heat vulnerability for each single-family home in an entire city. The research used Austin as its testbed, but the approach can be applied to most cities in the U.S.

In a major leap for cancer care at the University of Missouri, the School of Medicine and MU Health Care have launched their first clinical trial using a leading-edge therapy manufactured on campus at the university’s research reactor. The achievement also showcases the breadth of research capabilities across campus to bring a radiopharmaceutical from development, through testing, to human clinical trials.

For years, scientists have worked to uncover how the brain responds to mechanical forces and electromagnetic waves. Computer models offer useful simulations, but they don’t fully capture what goes on inside a living brain. Now, the team from Mizzou’s College of Engineering is working to close that gap by developing 3D-printed models of an artificial human brain.

A research paper by scientists at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University developed an electromyography (EMG)-driven soft robot with electro-vibro-feedback (EVF-robot) for targeted somatosensory priming in W/H muscles.
