Microrobots may soon be swimming through our veins to kill cancer cells
We have shared many advancements in cancer research this year, such as the development of whole-genome sequencing, as well as various blood tests that can identify many types of cancer to help catch cancer earlier. Now, there’s a new and exciting addition: 3D-printed robotic … [Read more...] about Microrobots may soon be swimming through our veins to kill cancer cells
Whole-genome sequencing is a “game changer” for child cancer outcomes
A cancer diagnosis and the subsequent treatment is a scary, stressful, and physically taxing experience in anyone’s life—and especially for children. However, doctors at Cambridge University in England have been able to use whole-genome sequencing to make this process smoother … [Read more...] about Whole-genome sequencing is a “game changer” for child cancer outcomes
Mimicking cancer therapy has potential application in treating malaria
Parasites are organisms that feed off a host and can sometimes be dangerous to humans by causing disease. One of the most impactful to human health is the strain of Plasmodium, the culprit of malaria. This disease is spread through mosquitoes carrying the parasite which brings … [Read more...] about Mimicking cancer therapy has potential application in treating malaria
New research shows dogs may be able to help us treat cancer
Dogs are known as man’s best friend. Now, they are taking on a role as man’s best medical insight and playing a critical role in helping cure cancerous tumors. Diffuse glioma is the most common malignant tumor that can grow in the brain and dogs and humans happen to develop … [Read more...] about New research shows dogs may be able to help us treat cancer
