Medical Xpress / Biopsy-to-biomarker results still take 27 days for lung cancer, according to study
Even as biomarker testing has become increasingly important for selecting the right lung cancer treatment, the time it takes to order these tests hasn't improved. Overall, the time from biopsy to biomarker results is about ...
Phys.org / Modular nanorobot self-assembles, targets cancer cells and cuts viability
A team at the University of Basel, Switzerland, has developed a versatile nanorobot with propulsion and payload modules. The two reusable modules autonomously self-assemble and could be used in medicine or industry.
Medical Xpress / Single amino acid change may help viruses jump from bat to human
Most pandemics start when a pathogen spreads from animals to humans. It's a leading explanation for the COVID-19 pandemic: The SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, is a cousin of coronaviruses that live in bats.
