Africa’s latest Ebola outbreak has killed nearly 5,400 people, the vast majority of them in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), according to the continent’s top health agency. Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) told the AFP on Monday that the outbreak, which has spread to other countries on the continent, [...]
Chinese researchers are testing whether focused ultrasound can help restore consciousness in patients with severe brain injuries, adding to a growing international effort to use sound waves to stimulate deep brain structures without surgery. A team involving the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology has used targeted ultrasound pulses to stimulate [...]
At the EPFL, micro-drones have been developed that can be moved without a motor or battery.No motors, no batteries, no electronics on board, just small cavities that convert sound waves into thrust: this is the surprising propulsion technology for drones, developed at the Laboratory for Micro-Biorobotic Systems (Microbs) at the Swiss Federal Institute of [...]
Blocking an enzyme’s production restored brain growth and healthy behaviors in mice engineered to develop Angelman syndrome, pointing to a possible treatment target. Children with Angelman syndrome begin to show difficulties with thinking and movement at around 6 months of age. The rare condition occurs in approximately one in 20,000 births and is caused [...]
Scientists have developed an experimental strategy that exploits a chemical byproduct of cancer cells to produce anticancer drugs directly inside them. Scientists in Japan have developed an experimental method that uses a chemical produced by cancer cells to manufacture anticancer drugs directly inside them. The approach relies on carbon monoxide, a toxic gas that [...]

Researchers have succeeded in communicating with brain-injured patients who are unconscious. They see enormous potential in this for future treatments. Patients who lie motionless in bed after a severe brain injury and do not respond to any response are medically considered unconscious. But some of these people may perceive much more of the environment [...]
Natural killer cells reprogrammed inside mice eliminated lymphoma tumors and helped damaged livers heal, though whether this approach could help people with cancer or autoimmune disease remains unknown. To make a cancer treatment from a patient’s T cells, doctors first collect a blood sample and send it to a laboratory. There, these immune cells [...]
Key takeaways: Phase 3 trial finds personalized intismeran plus pembrolizumab may better prevent high-risk melanoma recurrence after surgery The trial enrolled 1,137 patients and builds on phase 2 results showing about half the recurrence risk Moderna and Merck plan to present detailed findings and pursue potential regulatory approval for the treatment New research from [...]
The promise of an experimental treatment for C. difficile gut infections lies partly in the bacteria it leaves alive, according to early laboratory and mouse research. Broad-spectrum antibiotics can disrupt the gut’s microbial community, allowing a bacterium already living there to multiply unchecked. Clostridioides difficile, or C. difficile, is naturally present in the intestines [...]
