The right therapy can dramatically boost the self-healing capabilities of the human heart after heart failure ... that helps to pump blood around the body. Advanced heart failure patients normally ...

Our team at the Advanced Infrastructure Materials lab at Drexel University was inspired by self-healing tissue in the human body. We developed an addition to concrete we call BioFiber. BioFiber ...

A new study sheds light on one of the most severe consequences of stroke: damage to the brain's 'cables'-- the so-called nerve fibers -- which leads to permanent impairments.

A biomaterial that can mimic certain behaviors within biological tissues could advance regenerative medicine, disease modeling, soft robotics and more, according to researchers at Penn State.

A major challenge in self-powered wearable sensors for health care monitoring is distinguishing different signals when they occur at the same time. Researchers from Penn State and China’s Hebei ...

A senior lecturer at Swansea University told Sky News it was a "complex process" but that the aim was to "stimulate" materials to close cracks by themselves.

Scientists from Penn State and Hebei University of Technology have created an advanced self-powered sensor that could change how doctors monitor wounds. This new flexible sensor can accurately measure ...

“Mind-body energy healing techniques are based on mantras, meditations, breathing exercises, physical exercises, and relaxations, on the belief that human thoughts, feelings, and emotions can ...
