Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed microscopic robots, known as microrobots, capable of swimming through the lungs to deliver cancer-fighting medication directly to metastatic tumors. This approach has shown promise in mice, where it inhibited the growth and spread of tumors that had metastasized to the lungs.

Ariane Gerami, a student at the University of Bristol has revealed in her Masters’ thesis that surfing can better support mental health. With this background, she has secured funding for a 4-year PhD, supported by The Wave, to carry out further research on the subject.

Researchers have found a link between heart failure and kidney disease among older adults that have been hospitalized for heart failure. The findings suggest that at the individual provider level, cardiologists should prioritize assessing kidney function in all patients with heart failure.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is accelerating the development of new materials. A prerequisite for AI in materials research is large-scale use and exchange of data on materials, which is facilitated by a broad international standard. A major international collaboration now presents an extended version of the Optimade standard.

Diffpalm, a groundbreaking AI tool developed by Anne-Florence Bitbol's team at EPFL, represents a significant advance in computational biology. Published in Pnas, this innovative approach applies advanced machine learning techniques from natural language processing to predict protein interactions with unprecedented accuracy.

For the first time, scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (Sick Kids) used advanced imaging technology at the Sick Kids Nanoscale Biomedical Imaging Facility to reveal the atomic structure of an enzyme that neurons use to communicate.

A research team from Kiel, Germany, describes a method with which carbon-hydrogen bonds of carboxylic acids can be specifically converted into carbon-fluorine bonds. An innovative combination approach solves a fundamental challenge.

Researchers at Guangdong University of Technology and Pudong New District People’s Hospital have developed a microfluidic chip that uses light to detect foodborne pathogens quickly, affordably and effectively. Published in AIP Advances, this new method could dramatically improve how food safety is monitored.

Researchers have revealed that patients suffering from heart failure can be more active and have stronger hearts if they practice yoga. The research suggested that yoga can be a beneficial complementary therapy in patients with heart failure.

Researchers have found that a variety of molecules make up the tasty flavors in chocolates but the same molecules when used in excess in other desserts might carry unwanted health effects.
