While in-vehicle collision avoidance systems may be good at detecting big targets like automobiles, they're not as adept at detecting bicycles. Radian's Wingman was designed to address that problem, by boosting bikes' radar and LiDAR visibility.Continue ReadingCategory: Bicycles, TransportTags: Cycling, Road Safety, Collision, Obstacle avoidance, Radar, LIDAR
In late 2021 a Russian-born billionaire named Yuri Milner gathered some of the most celebrated scientific minds of our time at his lavish US$100-million-dollar mansion in California. The topic of conversation was reversing aging. Could our cells be reprogrammed into a younger state? And, perhaps most importantly for the aging billionaire, how quickly could this technology be developed?Continue Re
Researchers have discovered how a particular protein affects the growth and spread of colon cancer in humans. The study not only improves our understanding of why this type of cancer can be aggressive in some people, but it also highlights a potential treatment target.Continue ReadingCategory: Cancer, Illnesses and conditions, Body & MindTags: Colorectal cancer, Protein, Metastasis, National
Researchers have created a nanotherapy that selectively targets and shuts down the immune cells responsible for causing an allergic response in mice, preventing anaphylaxis. Able to be tailored to specific allergens, the novel nanomedicine could be the first to prevent allergic reactions.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Allergies, Nanoparticles, Nanomedicine, Northwestern Universit
Researchers have developed a ‘smart tweezer’ that is able to pluck a particular bacterial strain from a microbiome of trillions and sequence its genome in a more cost- and resource-effective way than current methods allow. The versatile tool could enable precision microbiome research and breakthroughs in disease diagnosis and treatment.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Microbiome, B
Researchers have made a breakthrough in cancer treatment by harnessing the disease-destroying abilities of the body’s natural killer cells. Their novel nanodrones selectively target a tumor, enabling the killer cells to do what they do best: Suppress cancer growth. The discovery opens the door to developing tumor-specific immunotherapies for hard-to-treat cancers.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical
Pterodynamics has taken its unique and fascinating Transwing drone out for sea trials with the US Navy, demonstrating its ability to land autonomously on a moving target. Its dihedral folding wings give it exceptional range and cargo capacity.Continue ReadingCategory: Drones, TechnologyTags: Delivery drone, eVTOL, Electric Aircraft, US Navy, Pterodynamics
Researchers have identified a protein that’s critical to the development of skeletal muscle mass and strength and the tissue’s ability to metabolize glucose. They say their findings may lead to treatments for the muscle wasting that can occur in disease and as a result of aging.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Muscle, Protein, metabolism, Tokyo Metropolitan University
While we've heard about a number of drug-dispensing medical implants, most of them have the same drawback – they end up getting covered in scar tissue. An experimental new one avoids that problem by changing shape as the tissue starts to form.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: MIT, Implant, Drug delivery, Soft Robotics
Yale scientists have discovered a new potential treatment avenue to fight cancer. Using CRISPR gene-editing, the team eliminated extra chromosomes from cancer cells and found that they could no longer grow out of control.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer, gene therapy, Cells, Yale, CRISPR, Treatment
