Cancer-Killing Virus Shows Promise in Early Pancreatic Cancer Trial

A Phase I safety trial testing a novel cancer-killing virus treatment has produced promising early results in pancreatic cancer patients. Three patients receiving the virus injection showed no tumor growth or spread during the study period, according to researchers. Pancreatic cancer is notoriously difficult to treat and often has poor

Researchers Reverse Nerve Damage Using Lab-Grown Organoids and Existing Drug

Breakthrough in Understanding and Reversing Nerve Damage Researchers at Cambridge have made a significant advance in understanding why nerve damage becomes irreversible in humans—and how that reversal might one day be possible. Mini-Organs Reveal Hidden Mechanisms The team created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab using human stem cells.

International Space Station Research Explores Large-Scale Stem Cell Production for Earth-Based Therapies

Expedition 74 astronauts aboard the International Space Station are continuing research efforts to manufacture large quantities of stem cells for therapies on Earth. Previous studies have focused on fine-tuning hardware that allows scientists to produce greater quantities of high-quality stem cells. Now, the InSPA-StemCellEX-H2 investigation is aiming to demonstrate large-scale

3D-Printed Lymph Nodes Could Lower Barriers to CAR T-Cell Cancer Therapy

The Promise and Problem of CAR T-Cell Therapy CAR T-cell therapy has emerged as one of the most effective treatments for certain blood cancers. By genetically engineering a patient's own immune cells to better recognize and attack cancer, the therapy has shown remarkable results. However, the current manufacturing

A $4 Tongue Swab Test Detects Tuberculosis in 30 Minutes

A new tuberculosis test using a simple tongue swab could make diagnosing the disease faster and more accessible in low-resource settings. The test costs roughly $4 and delivers results in about 30 minutes. Traditional tuberculosis diagnosis often requires patients to produce a sputum sample, which can be difficult for children,

Alife Health Secures FDA Clearance for AI-Powered Embryo Assessment Tool

Alife Health has obtained FDA clearance for its artificial intelligence-based embryo assessment system. This regulatory approval allows the company to market its AI tool for use in assisted reproductive technology, where it is designed to help clinicians evaluate embryos during the IVF process. The clearance represents a notable development in

China Launches Human Embryo Experiment in Space

China has conducted a space-based experiment involving human embryos, according to reports. This appears to be part of broader research into how early human development processes function in the microgravity environment of space. Details about the specific goals, methodology, and results of the experiment have not yet been fully disclosed,
