The EU-funded Resilience project aims to prevent heart failure in cancer patients who need anthracyclines. The project is testing a promising preventive treatment called remote ischaemic conditioning in lymphoma patients at risk for anthracycline cardiotoxicity. If the results are positive, heart failure could be significantly reduced in cancer survivors.

US scientists have developed “Anthrobots,” tiny robots made from human tracheal cells, capable of moving and stimulating neuron growth in damaged areas in lab settings. These cell-based robots, varying in size and shape, are self-assembling and demonstrate healing properties, advancing the field of regenerative medicine.

Researchers at the University of Graz and the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (Hips) have succeeded in developing a strategy for synthesising active pharmaceutical compounds from wood waste. The advantage: they do not require any harmful starting materials or by-products.

Researchers have found that a new bio-inspired drug has the potential to restore the effectiveness of immune cells in fighting cancer. The research could be a game changer for cancer patients.

New findings reveal the likely reason why certain chemotherapies are effective for many patients. Importantly, they also help explain why attempts to find new chemo drugs based solely on stopping cellular division have been so disappointing.

Baylor researchers have made a significant discovery about the gut microbiome's influence on the body, focusing on the bacteria L. reuteri. This bacteria has been found to impact multiple organs, including reducing gut inflammation, suppressing bone loss, promoting wound healing, and improving social behavior in autism spectrum disorders.

Researchers have developed a new robotic system that can carry out clinical breast examinations. The solution is expected to detect breast cancer early on and could transform the way in which women monitor their breast health.

Researchers have introduced new soft, miniaturized wearable devices that can be used to capture body sounds. This innovation will help healthcare professionals to continuously monitor the health of their patients.

Researchers are working to develop a small, implantable device which has the potential to sense and even treat cancer. This project has received a funding of 45 million dollars from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health.

Scientists have found that ‘mechanoresilient’ cancer cells which are resilient to mechanical stress multiply rapidly, have the potential to form secondary tumors and are also drug resistant.
