Texas A&M research could more effectively treat gastrointensial diseases such as Gulf War Illness, which affects an estimated 25-35% of Gulf War veterans.

To improve the efficacy of immunotherapies, a Texas A&M team uses nanoparticles to change the environment inside a tumor, giving immune cells the upper hand.

Texas A&M associate professor Akhilesh Gaharwar and graduate student Patrick Lee are developing a new class of hydrogels that can leverage light for drug delivery and regenerative medicine treatments.

An interdisciplinary team seeks to better understand how the mechanical properties of cells operate in the body and how pathologies can disrupt these processes.

Texas A&M researchers are developing tests to diagnose preeclampsia earlier in a pregnancy, even before symptoms occur.

A Texas A&M professor is part of an interdisciplinary research team testing whether electrical and optical pulses can help cells better absorb materials, such as vaccines.

An organ-on-a-chip device designed by Texas A&M researchers could provide a more personalized approach to addressing the illness.

A new cleaning method may stop bacteria from spreading within endotracheal tubes, reducing the risk of infection.

Researchers at Texas A&M have fine-tuned a hydrogel membrane that could be used to form biosensors transplanted under the skin to monitor sugar levels in diabetics.

The proposed biosensor could potentially detect airborne pathogens in high-traffic areas like hospitals and retirement homes.
