Diamond quantum nanoprobes detect immune cell inflammation by sensing electric charge shifts, opening a new path for real-time single-cell monitoring in immunology and cancer research.

Typically, doctors prescribe medications to combat excessive inflammation. However, a new study reports that a single 20-minute bout of moderate exercise can stimulate the immune system in a way that ...

Researchers in Japan are exploring a future where the body itself becomes a health monitor, no screens or batteries required. A joint team from Tokyo City University and the University of Tokyo, ...
