A major breakthrough for nanomedicine has researchers developing very small autonomous robots that can potentially shrink cancer tumours by reducing their blood supply. Scientists from Arizona State University and China’s National Centre for Nanoscience and Technology have programmed these small robots to carry a blood-clotting enzyme (thrombin) to the tumour’s…

Organ transplants is somewhat a modern day miracle, but there’s a pipeline problem: around 20 people die daily waiting on a transplant. …

Fishes with a similar ability to produce hormones that mimic insulin have been found to contain four viruses by a team of researchers from Joslin Diabetes centre. The potential impact of these insulin species suggest that microorganisms can impact diabetes development and perhaps even autoimmune diseases and certain cancers. Lead…

Researchers at Harvard University and other institutions have now devised a way to deal with heart failure, in response to the traditional method of removing blood from the heart and then pumping it back into the pulmonary artery or the aorta. Currently, the biggest concern is the increased likelihood of…
