Cancer cells are covered in mutated proteins, called “neoantigens,” that are not found on healthy cells. Personalized cancer vaccines train the immune system to recognize a patient’s unique neoantigens and then find and destroy the cancer cells. Read more in…
Success from XPRIZE Healthspan would profoundly change our approach to aging and positively affect quality-of-life and healthcare costs. Working across all sectors, we can democratize health and create a future where aging is full of potential. Watch the Video here…
Johns Hopkins University (JHU) researchers have developed an experimental brain cancer treatment that not only cured 100% of mice that received it, but also trained their immune systems to fight future cancers. Read more in Free Think New gel destroys…
One promising technique to combat aging is reducing inflammation. Many diseases of old age are associated with chronic, low-level inflammation in the brain, organs, joints, and circulatory system — sometimes called “inflammageing.” Read more in Freethink Have scientists found a…
Researchers at George Chuch’s Harvard lab have genetically engineered a bacteria, E. coli, to be totally immune to viruses.In addition to blocking every virus the team has challenged it with thus far, their E. coli has also been designed so…
People who manage their diabetes manually must give themselves these painful injections multiple times a day. Those who use insulin pumps only have to deal with jabs when they change the catheter every 2 or 3 days, but they have…
Biotechnology is transforming the health sector through applications that can help increase efficiency, reduce errors and create healthcare solutions.Serbia has made gains in the biotechnology sphere and demonstrates how others can accelerate their biotechnology journeys.

DNA storage offers several game-changing advantages: high storage capacity, long-term durability, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability. DNA molecules can store vast amounts of data in a compact form, making it ideal for archiving critical information Read more in datafloq Storing…
New technologies for cultivating non-animal based protein will provide one-third of the global meat supply due to an increase in commercial competitiveness and consumers becoming more accepting of these kinds of products. Read more in visualcapitalist Visualizing the Evolution of…
Genome editing is beginning to move from the laboratory into the clinic. A number of clinical trials are in progress, using genome-edited cells to treat disease in patients.But it is the prospect of heritable genome editing, in order to influence…
