Researchers at Northwestern University have developed a sensor that can monitor transplanted organs for signs of rejection. Patients who receive transplants require immunosuppressive medication to ensure that their body does not reject the transplanted tissue, but this can still happen, sometimes years after the initial transplant.

Scientists at Purdue University have developed a microRNA therapy designed to slow tumor growth. The technology takes advantage of the tendency of several cancer types to express an excess of surface receptors that bind folate (vitamin B9) and draw it into the cell interior. By attaching the microRNA strand to a folate molecule, the researchers could target it to cancer cells.

The technology could make it easier and faster to identify early-stage gingivitis, which can lead to periodontitis and eventual tooth loss, as well as contributing to a variety of other diseases such as stroke and heart disease.

Why can a ketogenic diet help control seizures in epilepsy? Many forms of dietary therapy make intuitive sense. 18th-century sailors with scurvy were treated with lime juice and other sources of the missing vitamin C. Patients with diabetes mellitus are counseled to avoid foods with a high glycemic index. And those with chylothoraces, where a chylous (fatty fluid) leak into the pleural space causes an effusion, are told to consume low-fat diets to reduce chyle flow and help prevent fluid from re
