Imagine a world where diseases like cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's could be diagnosed and treated at the molecular level, long before symptoms even appear. This is the promise of fluorescent biopolymers, a revolutionary new class of materials that could transform the field of biomedical research. What Are Fluorescent Biopolymers? At their core, biopolymers are simply long chains of ...

After surgery, a follow-up treatment, also referred to as adjuvant treatment, is often recommended to help eliminate any residual traces of the tumor.1 In the case of brain tumors, more often than not, adjuvant therapy involves using radiation, in part because few chemotherapy agents reliably cross the blood brain barrier. ...
A trial involving ovarian cancer patients at Guildford’s Royal Surrey Hospital (UK) has found they have a higher chance of having all the tumour removed when undergoing surgery using argon plasma. Patients who participated in the ‘PlasmaJet® in Ovarian Cancer Surgery’ feasibility study were given a preview of the results as part of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month recently. ...
A fibre-optic probe can detect errant cancer cells within healthy tissue during brain tumour surgery with close to 100 per cent accuracy and sensitivity, reducing the risk of recurrence and thereby increasing a patient’s survival time, say the Canadian researchers who developed the device. The hand-held, pen-like instrument, known as a Raman spectroscopy probe, is able to differentiate ...
