Corals form hard, stony structures, and algae grow with thick, tough bodies. But among them are organisms that appear almost defenseless, thin filaments rising from the seafloor and waving in the currents. These delicate strands are marine cyanobacteria. They look fragile compared with the other life forms on the reef. As marine natural products, Distinguished Professor...]]></description><link>https://pulsemedtechatucsd.wixsite.com/pulsemedtech/post/pharmacy-from-the-sea</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69dbe78f75afb0779a753c72</guid><pubDate>Sun, 12 Apr 2026 18:44:07 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>PULSE MedTech</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[ALS: From Silence to Scientific Breakthroughs]]></title><description><![CDATA[In the summer of 2014, millions of people dumped buckets of freezing ice water over their heads, laughing as they challenged their friends to participate in the challenge across many social media platforms. Behind all these videos, however, is a disease that slowly takes away an individual's ability to walk, speak, and eventually breathe. Among the people who were affected were Anthony Senerchia, Pete Frates, and Pat Quinn, who started this “ALS Ice Bucket Challenge,” which became one of the...]]></description><link>https://pulsemedtechatucsd.wixsite.com/pulsemedtech/post/als-from-silence-to-scientific-breakthroughs</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d72469a51db32c14c189fa</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2026 04:03:31 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/17f908_0e362d48d15a4e4381356bc595b5493d~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>PULSE MedTech</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Scan That Spoke: A Patient’s Journey With MRI Technology and Moyamoya Disease]]></title><description><![CDATA[“In 2021, I was exercising and all of a sudden I couldn’t move my left hand.” This was EA’s chief complaint, coming into the ER upon realizing that she was unable to perform everyday activities like athletics due to mobility in parts of her body, beginning with her left hand. Confused and panicked by the numbness and fatigue throughout her body, she visited the emergency room (ER). And within a few hours of being admitted to the ER, she had received a diagnosis, an answer to her questions: EA...]]></description><link>https://pulsemedtechatucsd.wixsite.com/pulsemedtech/post/the-scan-that-spoke-a-patient-s-journey-with-mri-technology-and-moyamoya-disease</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69d6b4494424ffa457c27a44</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2026 04:03:28 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/17f908_340c91fef9814cac89d13dbe5da687f9~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_450,h_278,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>PULSE MedTech</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Technology Understands Your Mind Before You Do]]></title><description><![CDATA[Mia was just more tired than usual. Just another slow month, she would tell herself. She would stay up later, skip meals, and stop replying to messages as quickly as she used to. To Mia, it seemed like this was just a phase and was not anything serious. But her phone noticed. One morning Mia woke up to a notification:  “We’ve noticed changes in your sleep and activity. Would you like to check in?” Did her phone read her emotions? How did it know how she was doing?

Scientists call them organoids, and these artificial organs have been developed to study many organ systems, not just the brain. The process can take weeks to even a full year, but the general steps go something like this; First, a patient whom scientists would like to study has their blood drawn.

My friends and I were playing a game of sharks and minnows with the new kid in our class, whom I’ll call Andrew. He was very quiet, but we thought he was just shy. We never learned until after he transferred to a special education school that he was managing Autism. As a student who has attended public schools all my life, this is my earliest memory of getting to know a person experiencing Autism.
