Mutations in our genes can lead to severe problems, like colon or liver cancer. But cancer is very complex. Mutations in the same genes can lead to different subtypes of tumors in different people. Currently, there is no good way to produce such tumor subtypes for study. Now, scientists created a method to model certain liver cancer tumor subtypes using the gene-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9.

While ingestible video capsule endoscopes have been around for many years, the capsules have been limited by the fact that they could not be controlled by physicians. Now, according to a first-of-its-kind research study at George Washington University, physicians can remotely drive a miniature video capsule to all regions of the stomach to visualize and photograph potential problem areas.

Researchers have developed a new ‘lab-on-a-chip’ testing technology that can help a person, who doesn’t have access to medical centers, to know if they are suffering from Covid-19 or flu.

Scientists from the Northwestern University have revealed that it is now possible to isolate a tumor’s attack cells non-invasively from blood, rather than from tumors with the help of the new Adoptive cell therapy (ACT).

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have revisited the forgotten drug PIK-75 and have revealed that the drug could block two crucial cancer-causing pathways of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-All).

Scientists at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital have tested a new cancer vaccine which kills as well as prevents brain cancer. The experts used a new cell therapy approach to eliminate established tumors and train the immune system to prevent cancer from recurring in the future.

The enormous amount of data obtained by filming biological processes using a microscope has previously been an obstacle for analyses. Using artificial intelligence (AI), researchers at the University of Gothenburg can now follow cell movement across time and space. The method could be very helpful for developing more effective cancer medications.

An international team of scientists have conducted a path-breaking research study in which artificial intelligence (AI) has been used to identify a molecular machine, which plays an essential ‘cargo’ role in controlling the delivery of proteins to the surface of human cells, and is implicated in several diseases.

A team of engineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a stretchable ultrasonic array capable of serial, non-invasive, three-dimensional imaging of tissues as deep as four centimeters below the surface of human skin, at a spatial resolution of 0.5 millimeters. This new method provides a non-invasive, longer-term alternative to current methods, with improved penetration depth.

People often assume that the products they use every day are safe. Now a new study by Silent Spring Institute and University of California, Berkeley exposes how much people come into contact with toxic ingredients in products, used at home and at work, that could harm their health. Findings from the analysis could help state and federal agencies strengthen chemical regulations and guide manufacturers in making safer products.
