Metastatic cancer accounts for up to 90% of all cancer deaths in the US annually. But with researchers developing a first-of-its-kind drug that inhibits the process by which cancer cells spread around the body, it’s hoped that this number will soon go … Continue reading First-of-its-kind cancer drug targets mechanism that causes metastasis
Using a novel design inspired by the Japanese art of paper cutting, researchers have developed gentle yet strong robotic grippers that can fold clothes, grasp a drop of water and ultrathin microfibers, lift 16,000 times their own weight, and turn the p… Continue reading Kirigami-inspired robotic grippers combine strength & a delicate touch
Clinical trials of a novel non-opioid analgesic have found it to be effective in reducing acute postoperative pain, opening the door to a new way of managing short-term pain that avoids the pitfalls associated with using opioids.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Novel non-opioid analgesic found to reduce acute postop pain
A new study has found that a single radiologist screening mammograms picked up more incidents of breast cancer and was more efficient when supported by AI. The researchers say their approach would be a safe alternative to having two radiologists ‘doubl… Continue reading AI-supported mammography screening saves time & detects more cancer
A new study has found that contrary to popular scientific belief, remembering an event drives the production of memory-related brain waves more than actually engaging in the event does. The finding could improve the treatment of memory loss in people w… Continue reading Brain waves driven more by remembering an event than the event itself
Researchers have developed a novel device that detects the COVID-19 virus in one minute using just a couple of breaths of exhaled air. The device has the potential to revolutionize the testing process, especially in hospitals and schools and at large-s… Continue reading 1-minute COVID breathalyzer could revolutionize testing at social events
A new global study has found that one in two people will be diagnosed with at least one mental health disorder by the age of 75. Given that many of these disorders first appear in childhood or early adulthood, the researchers say their findings highlig… Continue reading Half the population predicted to develop a mental health disorder by 75
Researchers who previously found that exercising for just three seconds a day, five days a week, improved muscle strength have undertaken a new study to determine the minimum number of days of three-second exercise you need to do to reap the benefits.C… Continue reading 3-second workout just 3 times a week provides real benefits
Combining brain implants, AI, and electrical stimulation, a team of researchers, engineers and surgeons has developed a novel ‘double neural bypass’ technology that has restored arm movement and sensation to a quadriplegic man. It’s hoped the technolog… Continue reading First-of-its-kind tech restores movement, feeling to quadriplegic man
Researchers have used 3D nanotechnology to successfully grow human retinal cells, opening the door to a new way of treating age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness in the developed world.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Science… Continue reading Nanotech used to grow eye cells as a potential treatment for blindness
