Scent dogs may represent a cheaper, faster and more effective way to detect Covid-19, and could be a key tool in future pandemics, a new review of recent research suggests. The review, published in De Gruyter’s Journal of Osteopathic Medicine, found that scent dogs are as effective, or even more effective, than conventional Covid-19 tests such as RT-PCR.

Researchers at University of Michigan developed a method to produce artificially grown miniature brains — called human brain organoids — free of animal cells that could greatly improve the way neurodegenerative conditions are studied and, eventually, treated.

Researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) are leading ground-breaking global trials which could save lives by changing how we treat cancer in the near future. They found that adding an mRNA vaccine tailored to suit an individual’s tumour genetics to common immunotherapy significantly improves survival and disease recurrence rates among people who’d had high-risk skin cancers removed.

Pharma companies are looking for new technologies to speed up the drug discovery process. For this purpose, industry players are exploring generative artificial intelligence as well as many other innovative AI solutions to optimize their results and deliver faster solutions to the market. Researchers are also keen to merge generative AI platforms like ChatGPT with other existing AI solutions to gain positive results.

Scientists have developed a therapy by using an allogeneic ‘off the shelf’ engineered ‘twin stem cell approach’ to maximize an attack on cancer cells that have spread to a part of the brain known as leptomeninges.

Researchers have revealed in a study that people who are surrounded by more green spaces lived a longer life as compared to people who lived in less green spaces. It further stated that people were biologically 2.5 years younger, on average, than their counterparts.

Researchers have revealed that some young cancer patients might be at a higher risk of premature heart failure when treated with anthracyclines, a specific category of chemotherapy that damages DNA in cancer cells.

Scientists applied a technology used in cancer research to model a roadmap of chemicals important for agriculture, food production and climate resilience. This chemical roadmap provides a resource that scientists can use to find new ways of regulating plant growth.

The largest cell map of the human lung has the ability to reveal rare cell types and highlight cellular differences between healthy people. It will also help researchers to understand lung diseases in new ways, thus leading to the development of new therapeutic methods.

New studies have revealed that even a short 10-minute exercise session is enough to increase the number of immune cells in the bloodstream which helps to destroy cancer cells in cancer patients.
