Latest supplements
Nature Index 2026 Biomedical engineering
From wearable sensors to advanced prosthetics and engineered tissues, biomedical engineering is producing new ways to understand the human body and improve patient care across the board. This supplement takes a look at the opportunities — and challenges — offered by wearable devices, the nations that are making their mark in the field according to Nature Index data, and the scientists who continue to advance the discipline through their research.
Nature Index 2026 Regenerative medicine
Regenerative medicine has the potential to transform the treatment of chronic and life-threatening diseases. But major challenges remain, such as overcoming immune rejection and ensuring that new therapies are developed using more inclusive data sets. In this supplement, we explore the discoveries that are driving the field, the barriers that could limit its progress, and the teams and institutions that are making their mark.
