Information is power. This isn't just the motto of the cyberfolk, from IBM to scruffy hackers - it's a fact of history. A century ago, a whole commercial dynasty crashed, […]

Antibodies may be the ultimate target agent to deliver drugs selectively to the chosen body part. Antigen-specific antibodies have been produced through monoclonal antibody technology and from hybridomas, which are hybrids of malignant cells and normal growing cells. Although the antibodies elicit adverse or inefficient reactions when used in humans, technology is continuously being refined to make the antibodies more human. Moreover, technology to produce effective antibody-based drugs is also being developed.

Engineers working to add 'muscle sense' to prosthetic limbs found that tactile feedback on the skin allowed blindfolded test subjects to more than double their ability to discern the size [...]

The patient, a man in his mid- to late 50s, was about as sick as it's possible to be--and that just may have saved his life. He was in end-stage [...]

WEST LAFAYETTE, IND. - More than 500 lives were lost last year to the type of food poisoning that one day could be tested for in real-time, speeding diagnosis and […]

Brain cells and silicon learn to get along. IF THE PHOTOGRAPH AT THE RIGHT looks like science fiction--say, a slimy creature's brain cell hooked up to a man-made computer circuit--there's [...]

Analysts and researchers believe that the bioengineering industry will experience much innovation in coming years. Recent developments in prostheses and implants will lead to other innovations that could improve the quality and longevity of life. Advances in tissue engineering, zeno transplantation and impants are examined.

About two thirds of the more than 200,000 totally-deaf people in the U.S. might be helped by an electromechanical device called a cochlear implant. The unit bypasses nonfunctioning sensors in [...]
