Monitoring cancer cells effectively can help physicians with treatment and management, thus reducing cancer-related mortality. Can non-invasive technologies pave the way for improved monitoring to reduce cancer mortality rates? Diagnostic platforms that non-invasively measure the electrical properties of cancer cells offer promise in the early detection of cancer drug resistance and metastasis.
Research team develops new technology for robotic prosthetic leg control
A research team led by Professor Sang-hoon Lee at the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering, Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology has successfully developed an imperceptive surface electromyography (sEMG) sensor. The sensor is crucial in allowing lower limb amputees to control robotic prosthetic legs as they want and is expected to contribute greatly to rehabilitation and a better quality of life.
Real-time dopamine measurement using a flexible probe that minimizes brain damage
A research team led by Jang Kyung-in, a Professor affiliated with the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering at DGIST, developed a dopamine measurement device that can precisely analyze dopamine concentration in real-time while minimizing brain damage.
STRANGE HAPPENINGS
THERE is no doubt that there is clearly a programme that has been hatched to leave the opposition political parties in disarray.

Hodgkin lymphoma prognosis, biology tracked with circulating tumor DNA
A Stanford Medicine-led, international study of hundreds of samples from patients with Hodgkin lymphoma has shown that levels of tumor DNA circulating in their blood can identify who is responding well to treatment and others who are likely to experience a disease recurrence—potentially letting some patients who are predicted to have favorable outcomes forgo lengthy treatment.
Prenatal exposure to GLP-1 receptor agonists and other second-line antidiabetics may not pose greater risk than insulin
Infants born to women with pre-gestational type 2 diabetes who take second-line non-insulin antidiabetic medications (ADMs) during pregnancy are at no higher risk of major congenital malformations (MCMs) than infants born to those who take insulin, according to a new study led by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
A cluster of genetically defined brainstem neurons involved in the production and modulation of sounds
Humans and other mammals can produce a wide range of sounds, while also modulating their volume and pitch. These sounds, also known as mammalian vocalizations, play a central role in communication between both animals of the same and of different species.
Similarity between vitamin B12 loss and multiple sclerosis revealed
For decades, scientists have noted an intriguing similarity between a deficiency in vitamin B12—an essential nutrient that supports healthy development and functioning of the central nervous system (CNS)—and multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic disease in which the body’s immune system attacks the CNS and which can produce neurodegeneration.
New personalized therapy improves survival for patients with CLL leukemia, phase 3 trial finds
Personalized treatment for the most common form of adult leukemia helps patients survive for longer and stay in remission, a phase 3 trial has found.
Boosting immunotherapy in non-responsive cancer cells
Cancer immunotherapy primes a patient’s immune system to better find and destroy cancer cells, improving upon the body’s natural ability to fight tumors. Contemporary immunotherapy approaches aim to stimulate immune cells called T cells to target tumors.
