Microrobot-packed pill shows promise for treating inflammatory bowel disease in mice

Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a pill that releases microscopic robots, or microrobots, into the colon to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The experimental treatment, given orally, has shown success in mice.

Flickering Light Mobilizes Brain Chemistry That May Fight Alzheimer’s

The promise of flickering light to treat Alzheimer’s takes another step forward in this new study, which reveals stark biochemical mechanisms: The 40 Hertz stimulation triggers a marked release of signaling chemicals.
