- Man's own cells killing his skin cancer
- As you probably know, melanoma is one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer, usually caused by too much exposure to the sun. Now U.S. researchers have developed a way to use a patient's own cloned T-cells against this skin cancer -- without chemotherapy or radiation. For example, 'a 52-year-old...

- Monitoring our immune system
- You might be surprised to learn that there are no clinical tools to track the human immune system today. This might change soon. UCLA researchers have developed a new PET scanning probe that will allow monitoring of our immune system. The scientists have used one of the most commonly used...

- Golden age for hydrogels?
- Hydrogels are familiar to anyone in medicine. My daughter wears hydrogel contact lenses. They're also used in breast implants, for dressing wounds, even as miniature glucose sensors. But they are only just coming into their own, as drug delivery mechanisms. Covalon...

- Using bacteria as medical robots
- Does the idea of turning bacteria into cancer-fighting robots sound like science fiction? Maybe today, but not in a near future. A researcher at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has received a four-year grant of more than $1 million from the National Institutes of Health to study the feasibility of...

- A pharmacy in a nanotechnology-based thin film
- MIT researchers have developed a new implantable device to improve our health. This nanoscale thin-film coating can deliver controlled drug doses to specific targets, acting as a 'micro pharmacy' inside our bodies. It could be used to deliver drugs for cancer, epilepsy, diabetes and other diseases. This film, which is...

- A cancer-resistant mouse?
- University of Kentucky researchers have created a cancer-resistant mouse by introducing a tumor-suppressor gene called 'Par-4' into an egg. The 'Par-4' gene, discovered in 1993, kills cancer cells, but not normal cells. It was originally found in the prostate, but this gene also can lead to the death of a...

- Cancer therapy without side-effects?
- Most of you know at least one person who has been affected by cancer and treated by chemotherapy, suffering from side-effects such as hair loss or nausea. This is because chemotherapy attacks both healthy and unhealthy cells in the whole body. Now, Australian researchers are using nanotechnology to offer chemotherapy...
