June 16, 2021Researchers translate a bird's brain activity into song
It is possible to re-create a bird’s song by reading only its brain activity, shows a first proof-of-concept study from the University of California San Diego. The study is an early step toward building vocal prostheses for humans who have lost the ability to speak. Full Story
June 16, 2021Genetically engineered nanoparticle delivers dexamethasone directly to inflamed lungs
Nanoengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed immune cell-mimicking nanoparticles that target inflammation in the lungs and deliver drugs directly where they’re needed. As a proof of concept, the researchers filled the nanoparticles with the drug dexamethasone and administered them to mice with inflamed lung tissue. Full Story
June 10, 2021Titans of industry, academia team up to advance engineering in medicine
