Researchers Develop a New Platform Technology For Personalized Cancer Treatment

Destroying cancer cells without affecting bordering normal cells is the most desirable method for targeted cancer treatment. However, it can not be easily accomplished because of the resemblances in the properties in between normal and cancer cells.So scientists at the IBS developed an innovative strategy called CINDELA (Cancer-specific INDEL Attacker). Which invades cancer-specific...

Consumption of Microplastics Can Cause Evolutionary Changes

After the non-biting midges of the species Chironomus riparius were exposed to microplastics, the genome of subsequent generations changed. Credit: Markus PfenningerIt is typically not even identifiable to the naked eye and harbors risks that can not yet be accurately examined: Microplastics are going into the environment in ever greater concentrations and decompose only...

Design an Invisible Cloak for Bacteria to Deliver Drugs to Tumors

Laboratory Equipment. Engineering an 'Invisible Cloak' for Bacteria to Deliver Drugs to TumorsColumbia Design scientists report that they have created a "cloaking" system that temporarily conceals healing bacteria from body immune systems. This allow them to supply drugs to tumors better and eliminate cancer cells in mice. By manipulating the germs' DNA, they programmed...

Cow’s Milk Healthy Protein Can Activate Swelling in Multiple Sclerosis Sufferers

Several sclerosis patients commonly suffer extra serious illness signs after consuming milk products. Researchers at the Colleges of Bonn as well as Erlangen-Nuremberg have actually currently located a feasible cause for this.According to the study, a protein in cow's milk can trigger swelling that targets the "protecting layer" around the afferent neurons. The research...
