AI Technology Detects Cancerous Brain Tumours in 10 Seconds During Surgery
Researchers have developed FastGlioma, an AI-based model that can identify residual brain tumour tissue in just 10 seconds during surgery. The technology, which outperformed conventional methods, offers significant improvements in neurosurgery for diffuse gliomas and other cancers. It could revolutionise surgical practices by enabling faster, more ...

Mitochondria Divide Roles for Energy and Molecular Synthesis Under Low-Nutrient Conditions, Reveals New Study
New findings reveal that mitochondria in nutrient-deprived cells adopt specialised roles to prioritise either energy generation or amino acid synthesis. Led by Dr. Craig Thompson of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the study identified specific mitochondrial subpopulations, allowing cells to maintain critical functions even under stress. The...

Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Low Among Under-50 Adults, Despite Rising Cases
A recent survey by Ohio State University reveals a concerning lack of awareness about pancreatic cancer in adults under 50. With rates rising in this demographic, experts urge better understanding of risk factors, including obesity and lifestyle habits. Preventative measures such as weight management and awareness of family history are emphasised a...

Researchers Develop Grain-Sized Robots Capable of Carrying Multiple Drugs
Researchers at NTU Singapore have introduced a grain-sized, magnetic robot capable of delivering multiple drugs directly to specific body sites. These robots, constructed from body-safe polymers and magnetic particles, offer an alternative to traditional pills or injections by precisely targeting treatment areas, reducing potential side effects. Th...

Aerobic Exercise Improves Cognitive Function in Women Undergoing Chemotherapy
A Canadian study found that women with breast cancer who engaged in aerobic exercise during chemotherapy experienced improved cognitive function, often referred to as “chemo-brain.” This clinical trial, involving 57 women, highlighted the positive effects of physical activity on mental clarity and overall quality of life. Although formal cognit...

Cancer Treatment in Mice With Radioactive Beam Could Open Up a High-Precision Technique to Treat Humans
A recent study reveals the first successful use of radioactive ion beams to treat tumours in mice. Scientists utilised carbon-11 ions to pinpoint treatment locations, offering real-time tracking capabilities. This advancement could lead to more precise cancer therapies, especially for tumours located near sensitive areas.
