Surgical Robot Prototype Could Ease Pediatric Brain Cancer Surgery

Researchers from Boston Children’s Hospital say they have created a prototype surgical tool that can allow surgeons to remove pediatric brain tumors safely and in a less invasive manner. The surgical robot uses hollow, nitinol robot arms to give surgeons the ability to switch tools during tumor resections and could also have applications for neurosurgery in adults and other surgical procedures. Study coauthor and Boston Children’s Hospital chief of pediatric cardiac bioengineering Pierre DuPont said the idea for the project goes back to 2016 when he had conversations with Dr. Jim Drake, the chief of neurosurgery at Toronto-based SickKids. DuPont…

Inverse Vaccines Show Promise Against Autoimmunity

University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (PME) researchers have developed a new vaccine that has completely reversed autoimmune disorders in laboratory settings. This “inverse vaccine” works by wiping out the immune system’s memory of a perceived irritant rather than suppressing the immune system to limit autoimmunity symptoms. The immune system is essentially a battle-ready system of defenses ready to attack and destroy any threats at the drop of a hat. In some people, the immune system is overly sensitive and will react aggressively after mistaking harmless substances such as proteins, pollen and healthy tissues, for threats. This results…

Why Colon Cancer Is Largely Unresponsive to Immunotherapy

Colorectal cancer is the third-most common type of cancer among adults in the United States, affecting an estimated 106,970 people in 2023 and predicted to take more than 50,000 lives this year. Treatment often involves surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible, followed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy to kill off any remaining tumor cells. Recent research published in the “Nature Genetics” journal has shed new light on why immunotherapy, a relatively new type of cancer treatment that uses a patient’s own immune system to kill cancer cells, isn’t as effective against colon cancers. Researchers studied the…

Nottingham University Researchers Find Way to Make Brain Cancer Cells Self-Destruct

Nottingham University researchers have devised a novel means of treating brain cancer that could signal a “quantum leap” in brain-tumor treatments moving forward. A multidisciplinary research team created a new way of targeting and eliminating cancer cells in typically hard-to-treat types of brain tumors that cause cancer cells to essentially self-destruct. This technique involves leveraging bio-nanoantenna, extremely tiny gold particles (nanoparticles) coated with redox active molecules that are specialized to bring about programmed cell death (apoptosis). Upon electrical stimulation, bio-nanoantenna can induce the self-destruction of brain tumor cells, giving physicians a potential treatment option with much higher chances of better…
