A Single Therapy for Asthma: Engineering Long-Lived T Cells with Multi-Targeting Abilities
Researchers at Tsinghua University in Beijing may have found an alternative approach that could push severe asthma into long-term remission with just a single treatment: engineering long-lived T cells with the unique ability to target multiple drivers of the condition simultaneously.
A Breakthrough Treatment for Chronic Sinusitis
This is the first placebo-controlled evidence demonstrating efficacy of any medication in chronic sinusitis without nasal polyps. It's an exhalation delivery system with the corticosteroid - fluticasone that may provide relief for patients in whom standard delivery nasal steroids cannot control symptoms.
AI | Detecting COVID-19 in Lungs with Deep Learning
Over the past few years, researchers have made great strides in applying machine learning and artificial intelligence to medical imaging. One area that has shown promise is using deep neural networks (DNNs) to analyze lung ultrasound images and detect signs of COVID-19
- New algorithm boosts multitasking in quantum...on December, 2024 at 4:56 pm
When a quantum computer processes data, it must translate it into understandable quantum data. Algorithms that carry out this 'quantum compilation' typically optimize one target at a time. However, a team has created an algorithm capable of optimizing multiple targets at once, effectively enabling […]

A groundbreaking piece of navigation technology that uses the ability to sense information through touch can help people with visual impairment perform a location task as well as sighted people, according to new research.
- 10,000 times faster than traditional methods: New...on December, 2024 at 4:54 pm
For human researchers, it takes many years of work to discover new super-resolution microscopy techniques. The number of possible optical configurations of a microscope -- for example, where to place mirrors or lenses -- is enormous. Researchers have now developed an artificial intelligence (AI) […]
- Delivering medicines with microscopic 'flowers'on December, 2024 at 4:54 pm
Using microparticles consisting of extremely thin petals, medicines can be delivered via the bloodstream in a precisely targeted manner, for example to a tumour or blood clot. Ultrasound and other acoustic procedures guide the particles through the body and reveal their locations. This makes the […]
After 11 years, Boston Dynamics has said goodbye to its humanoid robot ATLAS HD. The robotics company says it’s time for ATLAS to “kick back and relax” in retirement, letting the new all electric ATLAS take over. This video was shared to remember ATLAS HD’s great moments and those not so great.
Header Banner: Speed is the name of the game. The DarkDrug logo shows an Intel Xeon microchip die. Xeon is a brand of x86 microprocessors designed, manufactured, and marketed by Intel, targeted at the non-consumer workstation, server, and embedded system markets. It was introduced in June 1998. The advent ofoptical fibre cable has allowed the speed of data transmission to reach dizzy heights (shown in the DarkDrug logo). The field of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers is known as fibre optics. The term was coined by Indian physicist Narinder Singh Kapany, who is widely acknowledged as the father of fibre optics.
