Harnessing an individual’s immune cells to mediate antitumor and antiviral responses is a life‐saving option for some patients with otherwise intractable forms of cancer and infectious disease.
Raman Spectroscopy Guidance System Integrated with a Brain Biopsy Needle
A team of Canadian researchers developed and clinically tested a navigation‐guided fiberoptic Raman probe that allows surgeons to interrogate brain tissue in situ at the tip of the biopsy needle prior to tissue removal.
Plasma and Pills Together Combat Pancreatic Tumors
Chinese researchers combined a glow‐like helium atmospheric pressure plasma jet with clinical antitumor drug‐Tegafur‐ to treat pancreatic tumor cells in vitro.
Stress-Induced mRNP Granules: Form and Function of P-bodies and Stress Granules
In response to stress, cells must quickly reprogram gene expression to adapt and survive. This is achieved in part by altering levels of mRNAs and their translation into proteins.
Tumor-Targeting Nanoprobe with a Novel Cell Membrane Permeability Mechanism [Video]
A team of researchers develop a graphene-based tumor cell nuclear targeting fluorescent nanoprobe (GTTN) with a cell membrane permeability targeting mechanism.
