Scientists have achieved a significant milestone in the fight against lung cancer by successfully navigating a steerable lung robot through living lung tissue. Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, with some tumors deeply hidden within lung tissue, posing a formidable challenge for surgeons. This remarkable fusion of cutting-edge […]

Stem cell therapy shows promise for reducing Alzheimer’s symptoms: Study
Scientists have transplanted stem cells into mice and found reduction of brain abnormalities typical of Alzheimer’s disease. The team, led by researchers at the Stanford University in the US, transplanted blood stem and progenitor cells into mice, effectively leading to the replacement of a type of neural cell, called microglia, that’s defective in mice with […]
Scrambler therapy shows remarkable results in alleviating chronic pain
In a significant development for chronic pain management, experts have unveiled the potential of scrambler therapy as a noninvasive treatment. The therapy, approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2009, utilises electrical stimulation through skin electrodes placed strategically above and below the areas affected by chronic pain. Chronic pain and neuropathic pain primarily […]
