A brain-computer interface (BCI) surgically implanted on the brain of an ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) patient has shown success in translating brain signals into computer commands.

The model's results correlated 85% with those calculated by a musculoskeletal pathologist.

Phillip, an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, has received a Junior Faculty award from the American Federation for Aging Research—Glenn Foundation to identify and classify subtypes of senescent cells.

The BRAIN CONNECTS program supports 11 projects that aim to develop technologies to comprehensively map neural connections in both humans and laboratory animals.

Funding from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) will fast-track the development of new cancer implant technology.

Breakthrough research from Jamie Spangler, an assistant professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering and biomedical engineering, has potential implications for treatment of injuries.

Deep-learning technology developed by Johns Hopkins researchers could help scientists overcome a major hurdle to developing personalized immunotherapies and vaccines.

New machine learning model could enable the development of therapies for cancer or other genomic diseases by activating genes on demand.

For a team of Johns Hopkins scientists, the acceleration of aging in space provides a unique opportunity to better comprehend the condition that remains the leading cause of death in America: heart disease.

Scientists have developed a tool called Geno-DT to create a digital replica of an individual's heart, which could inform the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

A Johns Hopkins Medicine team suggests that microparticle-delivered therapy may be the first step toward stopping MS and other autoimmune diseases.

Researchers' work may help to predict and prevent the immune response that leads to fibrosis.

Tests in mice with melanoma and colon cancer show tiny particle creates an “army” of immune cells that carry vaccine’s instructions, researchers say.

The Leducq-funded project aims to find new therapies for heart disease by studying the effects of stimulating nerves.

Visualizing connections between nerve cells in the brain could yield insights into how our brains change with learning, aging, injury, and disease.

Dopamine, a brain chemical long associated with pleasure, motivation and reward-seeking, also appears to play an important role in why exercise and other physical efforts feel “easy” to some people and exhausting to others, according to results of a study of people with Parkinson’s disease led by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers.

Researchers have completed the most advanced brain map to date, that of an insect, a landmark achievement in neuroscience that brings scientists closer to true understanding of the mechanism of thought.

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers are collaborating with NASA to send human heart “tissue-on-a-chip” specimens into space as early as March. The project is designed to monitor the tissue for changes in heart muscle cells’ mitochondria (their power supply) and ability to contract in low-gravity conditions.

From Alexa to a robot running amok in the movie 'M3GAN', artificial intelligence is part of everyday life and is capturing our imagination. Johns Hopkins AI expert Rama Chellappa helps us sort out fact from fiction, and whether we should embrace the 'AI spring'.
