One of the latest attempts to boost the body’s defenses against cancer is called adoptive cell transfer, in which patients receive a therapeutic injection of their own immune cells. Th... Read more
Research published in Nature Materials this month takes lessons from cooperation in nature, including that observed in insect swarms, to create better targeting methods for cancer therapeuti... Read more
Improving Health Assessments With a Single Cell There’s a wealth of health information hiding in the human immune system. Accessing it, however, can be very challenging, as the many an... Read more
A breakthrough invention by Israeli researchers will allow individuals to detect cancer only by sniffing. The device has been developed by Professor Hossam Haick’s team. Haick is a professor... Read more
A cross-discipline project that brings together biomedicine and nano-engineering has led to the development of a dime-sized microfluidic device that can rapidly detect cancer cells in a bloo... Read more
The next big thing in medical diagnostics could be minutes particles of rust, iron oxide, coated with the material from which sand is formed, silicon dioxide. These magnetic nanoparticles, a... Read more
Rice University bioengineers and physician-scientists at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children’s Hospital have successfully destroyed tumors of human brain cancer cells in the... Read more
Extremely sensitive nanosensor chips are being developed by Stanford University researchers in an attempt to detect the early signs of cancer, called biomarkers, in humans. The researchers s... Read more
