The presence of a human herpesvirus has been found in women with unexplained infertility. It is the immune system response to the virus that may make the uterus less likely to except a fertilized egg. This discovery is especially important as it may potentially lead to antiviral treatments that improve the outcome for many infertile women. Click here to learn more. Abstract.

Vision loss from optic neuropathies is usually permanent. However, recent NEI research induced axon regrowth with repeated high-contrast visual stimulation. This was especially effective if combined with chemical neural stimulation. These impressive results hold wonderful promise for therapies for degenerative diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Click here to learn more.
Researchers from the University of Stuttgart have developed a tiny 3D-printed medical camera, no larger than a grain of salt, that could change the future of health imaging and endoscopic technology. It can fit inside a syringe and attaches onto the end of an optical fiber no larger than the width of 2 hairs. This raises the possibility of exploring inside the human body, including organs and even the brain. Click here to learn more.
