Engineered antibodies from llamas neutralise COVID-19 virus
Antibodies derived from llamas have been shown to neutralise the SARS-CoV-2 virus in lab tests, UK researchers announced today. Llamas, produce a special type of antibody, far smaller than the size of a typical human antibody (one quarter of the size). These“single-domain” antibodies, or nanobodies, have several features that make them of interest as potential […]

HIV treatment targets in sight
Ambitious annual target on HIV treatment could be achieved for equivalent of just one month of global spend on HIV drugs The Make Medicines Affordable campaign is calling for a widespread switch from patented to generic HIV drugs so that at least 95% of those living with HIV globally would be able to receive treatment. […]
CAR-T cell therapy
CAR-T cell therapy is a new and revolutionary weapon against cancer: T cells are isolated from the patient’s blood for genetic modification and then infused back into the patient to attack cancer cells. Researchers from the Medical University of Vienna have now determined why CAR-T cells do not destroy tumor cells that express tumor antigens […]
AI-human approach to skin cancer diagnosis
Human-Artificial intelligence collaborations best for skin cancer diagnosis: Artificial intelligence (AI) improved skin cancer diagnostic accuracy when used in collaboration with human clinical checks, an international study including University of Queensland researchers has found. The global team tested for the first time whether a ‘real world’, collaborative approach involving clinicians assisted by AI improved the accuracy of […]
Chanterelle mushrooms
Chanterelle Mushrooms give savoury dishes a rich body and a unique complex flavor. Experts refer to this as the kokumi effect. A research team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Leibniz-Institute for Food Systems Biology recently developed the first method to clearly quantify chanterelle-specific key substances that contribute to this effect. This […]
Instant bladder cancer scan could save 1000’s of lives
Thousands of lives lost to bladder cancers each year could be saved thanks to a new scanner that uses photonics to illuminate parts of the tissue that are currently impossible to visualise. A European photonics research team is developing a new endoscope to scan for the early signs of bladder cancer. Using multi-wavelength lasers, the […]

Mayo Clinic digital pathology enterprise
The Mayo Clinic Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology has initiated an enterprise-wide implementation of the Sectra digital slide review and image storage and management system to enable digital pathology as part of Mayo Clinic’s digital health and practice transformation initiatives. “As Mayo Clinic continues to lead the transformation of health care delivery and accessibility, […]
Improving remote care by monitoring speech
RSM webinar: Improving remote care by monitoring speech: Dr Yoram Levanon will describe the main concepts behind the use of vocal expression to gain insights into healthcare. He will present his vision of a future where remote care is enhanced by the continuous monitoring of speech to infer health status through AI-Human interactions. This webinar will explore: How emotional and physiological […]
Medical tools using photonics developed quicker
Medical tools using photonics developed quicker thanks to new EU Pilot Line. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the need to quickly develop diagnostic equipment in the face of a novel threat. Thanks to a dedicated medical pilot production line that gives easy access to prototyping, new medical tools that use photonics to detect major diseases […]
