...h out the type 2 diabetes. They were checked using microchip array technique to scan and evaluate their genome. With the different results the teams collaborated together to study the result in a larger cohort. Thus they have created a large data base of information involving different types of population. ...

New Microchip for Protein Sorting

A Patented Device for Rapid Diagnosis of Diseases

...the cancer patient. Future applications that this microchip could be used for are of great importance, as they can provide genetic diagnosis tools for doctors to carry out early diagnoses of diseases associated with our genetic inheritance or with the malfunctioning of the mechanisms for the translation of ou...

New Ideas on Developing Thought-Controlled Artificial Limbs

...se that the nervous-tissue interface - through the microchip - could detect and record real-time signals conducted down the nerve and stimulate the sensory signals back through the axons. In another study, Smith and colleagues showed that these stretch-grown axons could grow when transplanted into a rat mode...
