A new international study led by the Nanobiosystems group at CIC nanoGUNE, is developing miniature, non-invasive, precise robotic catheters for use in reproductive medicine and gynaecological health. This research, which was recently published in the prestigious journal Advanced Materials, has the potential to improve infertility treatments, for example, and enable the highly localised release of drugs and cells.

The odds of iron deficiency in adolescent girls are almost 14 times higher among those who experience heavy menstruation and follow a meat-restricted diet, compared to girls with normal menstruation who eat an omnivorous diet

Male infertility is a major issue worldwide and its causes remain unclear. Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Biosystems Dynamics Research (BDR) in Japan have now discovered a key structure in the germ cells of male mice that, when disturbed, leads to abnormal sperm tails and infertility. The discovery was made possible by the first observation of the mouse flagellar base structure using ultrastructure expansion microscopy and could explain some forms of infertility in human men. 

The University of Central Florida unveiled a new 38-foot UCF Heath Mobile Health Clinic on Wednesday to bring free, high-quality healthcare directly to low income, uninsured and underinsured populations in Osceola and Orange counties. The clinic will help patients who face transportation, mobility or financial barriers that restrict their access to healthcare. It also serves as a valuable platform to train students in a real world setting. 

Testing by Rutgers Health and other institutions is reshaping how – and how gently – doctors repair failing valves.

A transparent chip no larger than a stick of gum is helping scientists at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, an R1 research institution, transform the way researchers study the human brain and develop treatments for some of the world’s deadliest viruses.

A recent review, led by researchers from the Stanford Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery in collaboration with Germany's Helios Hospital, examines the current state, challenges, and future directions of adult heart transplantation in its two highest-volume regions – the United States and Western Europe. While both areas have achieved remarkable success, they have embraced varying approaches in their transplantation systems, shaped by the cultural and political attitudes of the region.
