Glucose Fuel Cell Uses Sugar Present in Blood to Power Medical Implants

In recent years, scientists have been investigating glucose fuel cells as potentially smaller power sources, fueled directly by the body’s abundant glucose which is the sugar we absorb from the foods we eat. Glucose powers every cell in our bodies and could now power tomorrow’s medical implants. More...

Artificial Intelligence May Support Endoscopic Diagnosis of Early Gastric Cancer

The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in early gastric cancer (GC) is more important than in advanced GC since early GC is not easily identified in clinical practice. Now, the findings of a new study support the diagnostic accuracy of AI in the diagnosis of early GC from endoscopic images. More...
