Credit: magicmine/Getty Images For decades, fetal surgery has advanced faster than the tools used to monitor fetal health during these delicate procedures. While surgeons can now correct certain life-altering conditions before birth, their ability to continuously assess how a fetus is tolerating surgery has remained limited. Reporting in Nature Biomedical Engineering, researchers at Northwestern University have now developed the first device capable of continuous, real-time monitoring of fetal vital signs inside the uterus, a technological breakthrough that could significantly improve safety during fetal surgery. A long-standing blind spot in fetal surgery Fetal surgery is used in rare but serious conditions such as spina…
Sudden, unexplained pauses in the surveillance of public health trends by the CDC may undermine people’s trust in evidence-based policies and even put their well-being at risk.Image credit:©iStock.com, danijelalaThe US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been monitoring public health trends since as far back as 1946. However, recent changes in federal policies surrounding health sciences have significantly affected this activity. In 2025, there were many instances of sudden removal or alteration of CDC databases, and these changes largely occurred with no accompanying documentation or explanation.1-3 46 percent of CDC databases which were once updated at least monthly…
In late 2024, Corsera Health came up with a big, hairy, audacious goal thesis: cardiovascular disease, the world’s leading killer, should be prevented long before patients ever become patients. At the 2026 J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, Inside Precision Medicine spoke with Corsera Health’s COO Rena Denoncourt and CFO Meredith Kaya, who discussed a tightly integrated strategy that combines consumer-facing AI, RNA interference (RNAi) therapeutics, and a disruptive primary prevention go-to-market vision. Denoncourt, who joined Corsera a year ago after 17 years at Alnylam Pharmaceuticals helping commercialize RNAi, called the move a return to “big, bold” science. Corsera’s lofty goal…

CRDMO WuXi Biologics and HanchorBio, a clinical-stage biotech company focusing on immunotherapies for oncology and autoimmune diseases, signed a collaboration agreement to support the development and manufacturing of multiple next-generation bi- and multi-functional fusion programs from HanchorBio’s pipeline. HanchorBio Chairman Scott Liu (left) and WuXi Biologics CEO Chris Chen celebrate the signing of the strategic partnership agreement. [HanchorBio]Chris Chen, CEO of WuXi Biologics, says the company will provide integrated, end-to-end biologics development and manufacturing services, including cell line development, process and bioassay development, drug product formulation development, and GMP manufacturing. The collaboration is designed to accelerate clinical translation and support…
Parse Biosciences and Graph Therapeutics (Graph) today announced a strategic partnership to create one of the largest and most comprehensive immune cell perturbation atlases. The collaboration will leverage Graph’s lab-in-the-loop platform with Parse’s GigLab to profile hundreds of millions of cells from patients with immune diseases under systematic perturbation, making the immune system’s highly dynamic behavior accessible to AI-first drug discovery and development. This endeavor derisks and speeds up the development of new curative therapies for patients with immune mediated diseases.Autoimmune and immune-mediated diseases are driven by context- and patient-specific immune cell population responses, making it difficult for drug developers…
The convenience of meal prepping has made chicken salad a household staple. Whether you’ve whipped up a large batch for the week or found yourself with an abundance of leftovers from a weekend gathering, you might be staring at that bowl wondering: Can chicken salad be frozen? In the world of food storage, few questions spark as much debate as this one. The answer isn’t a simple yes or no; it is a nuanced “it depends. While you can physically put almost any food in a freezer, the real concern is whether it remains appetizing, safe, and structurally sound once…

However, the field remains largely limited to naturally occurring strains, as laborious strain engineering techniques have restricted the pace of discovery and creation of tailored therapeutic strains. In a new study published in PNAS titled, “A fully synthetic Golden Gate assembly system for engineering a Pseudomonas aeruginosa phiKMV-like phage,” researchers from New England Biolabs (NEB) and Yale University describe a fully synthetic bacteriophage engineering system for P. aeruginosa, a multi-drug resistant bacterium. Using NEB’s High-Complexity Golden Gate Assembly (HC-GGA) platform, the researchers engineered bacteriophages synthetically…
As a physician specializing in public health, I often see patients who underestimate the risks of foodborne illness from common pantry staples. We all love leftovers, but one of the most frequent questions in meal-prep circles is: How Long Does Pasta Last in the Fridge? Whether you have a bowl of plain spaghetti or a creamy chicken alfredo, understanding the biological “clock” of your food is essential for your safety. Generally, cooked pasta lasts in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. However, this isn’t a hard-and-fast rule. The presence of sauces, proteins like shrimp or chicken, and even the…
In the world of nutrition and fitness, the chicken breast is often hailed as the “gold standard” of lean protein. Whether you are a bodybuilder looking to pack on muscle, a marathon runner fueling for recovery, or someone simply trying to lose weight while maintaining lean mass, the chicken breast is likely a staple in your refrigerator. However, a common point of confusion for many patients and athletes I work with is the specific math behind the macros. How much protein is in a chicken breast? Is it 30 grams? 50 grams? Does the answer change if it is grilled…
