Painless Patch for Immune Cells: Microneedle Device Promises Non‑Invasive Immune Monitoring
A collaboration between The Jackson Laboratory and MIT has produced a microneedle patch that non‑invasively samples immune cells from humans, enabling painless, repeatable collection for laboratory analysis. Published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the device could reshape immune monitoring in clinical trials, vaccine development and personalised medicine, though validation, regulatory approval and ethical safeguards are still required.
Chinese Researchers Unveil Dye-Free Near‑Infrared Imaging That Sharpens Liver Tumour Margins in Surgery
Researchers at Fudan University and Huashan Hospital report a label‑free near‑infrared imaging technique (TANI) that visualizes liver tumour margins in real time without injected contrast. Published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the method uses endogenous autofluorescence in the NIR‑II band to produce high‑contrast images while avoiding interference from blood, bile and cirrhosis.
