How the latest sensors analyse body fluids
Research
ETH Zurich
A new generation of wearable sensors will fundamentally change medicine. Researchers at ETH Zurich and international experts have now published an overview showing what is possible with such sensors and what questions their developers should consider to ensure their successful future use.
Brain stimulation effectiveness tied to learning ability, not age
Research
EPFL
A study from EPFL reveals that the effectiveness of brain stimulation on motor skills is determined by an individual's learning ability rather than age, highlighting the need for a more personalized approach to neurorehabilitation.
Simulating how fruit flies see, smell, and navigate
Research
EPFL
Scientists at EPFL have advanced their NeuroMechFly model, simulating fruit fly movement in the real world. With integrated vision and smell, it helps us understand brain-body coordination, setting a path for neuroengineering's role in robotics and AI.
A lung pathogen's dilemma: infect or resist antibiotics?
Research
EPFL
A new study by EPFL reveals that the notorious bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa must balance between effectively colonizing human airways and developing antibiotic tolerance to survive.
Unexpected immune response may hold key to long-term cancer remission
Research
EPFL
Results from a preclinical study in mice, led by EPFL, and a collaborative clinical study in patients show that the type 2 immune response – associated with parasitic infection and thought to play a negative role in cancer immunity – is positively correlated with long-term cancer remission.
Medical imaging aims to bring the invisible to light
Research
EPFL
Medical imaging technology – such as MRI, ultrasound and X-ray – is gaining in power and precision, especially in the wake of recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence. Several EPFL research groups are contributing to this progress and actively shaping the future in this area.
