Magnetic bacteria (gray) can squeeze through narrow intercellular spaces to cross the blood vessel wall and infiltrate tumors. Credit: Yimo Yan / ETH ZurichScientists worldwide are investigating how anti-cancer drugs can most efficiently reach the tumours they target. One probability is to use modified bacteria as "ferries" to bring the medications with the blood...

Revealing bacteria-produced...
Neuralink, a company co-founded by Elon Musk, has been working on an implantable brain machine interface since 2016. While it previously showed its progress by showing a Macaque ape managing the cursor in a game of Pong, it still has to start human tests. Now, according to Reuters, Elon Musk has reached out to...
