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 ...

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...

New Patch Device Uses Electricity To Combat Harmful Skin Bacteria
Scientists have created a bioelectronic patch, BLAST, that uses mild electrical pulses to eliminate harmful bacteria on the skin. Tested on pig skin, this device has shown significant reductions in bacterial levels, suggesting it could be used to prevent infections from medical devices. The patch creates an acidic environment that inhibits biofilm ...

Brain Injuries May Raise the Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease, Say Researchers
Recent findings from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center suggest that traumatic brain injuries (TBI) may significantly increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. The study highlights the role of the BAG3 protein in clearing harmful proteins from the brain. Enhancing BAG3 could potentially mitigate the cognitive decline assoc...

Brain Ageing in Monkeys Delays After Being Given Diabetes Medicine Metformin, Study Shows
A recent study has highlighted the potential of metformin, a commonly used diabetes medication, in slowing the ageing process in monkeys. Published in Cell on 12 September, the research shows that daily doses of metformin can preserve cognitive function and delay the ageing effects on various tissues, particularly the brain. This study brings forwa...

Placebo Effect Link Discovered With Previously Unassociated Parts of the Brain
Patients suffering from chronic pain have limited treatment options, often relying on medications like opioids that come with harmful side effects and high addiction risks. A new study in mice, published in Current Biology journal, suggests a new way to use the placebo effect for treating chronic pain. By activating specific neurons in the brain li...

Scientists Make Mouse Skin Transparent Using Food Dye, Here's Everything You Need to Know
In a recent breakthrough, researchers led by Zihao Ou, Assistant Professor of Physics at the University of Texas at Dallas, have developed a technique to make mouse skin temporarily transparent using a common food dye called tartrazine. By applying a solution of the dye mixed with water, scientists could observe the internal organs and blood vessel...

Scientists Test Nanorobots to Treat Brain Aneurysms
Scientists have created nanorobots that could revolutionise the treatment of brain aneurysms by delivering clot-forming drugs directly to the weakened vessel area, reducing the risk of stroke. These robots, smaller than blood cells, were successfully tested in rabbits. The nanobots are guided using magnetic fields and heat, which release the drug a...
