• Chennai: Now, a blood test to detect breast cancer early

  Breast cancer may soon be detected in the early stages using a blood test, results of a clinical trial by the Cancer Institute in Adyar have shown.

  

• The older you are, the more antibodies you have: Study

  Masson, a biomedical instruments specialist, and Pelletier, a protein chemistry expert, were interested in an understudied group: people who have been infected by SARS-CoV-2 but were not hospitalized as a result of the infection.

  

• Scientists acquaint new methodology with improved treatment of brain tumours

  Scientists of Medical College of Georgia claim that looking directly at the Ribonucleic acid (RNA) of brain tumour cells appears to provide objective, efficient evidence to better classify a tumour and the most effective treatments.

  

• Mini antibodies against Covid-19 isolated from llama may prevent infection

  Preliminary results, published in the journal Scientific Reports, suggest that the nanobody appears to work equally well in either liquid or aerosol form, suggesting it could remain effective after inhalation.

  

• Artificial Intelligence applied to make complex eye scans easier: Study

  The researchers, including those from The Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Australia, explored a range of machine learning techniques to analyse OCT images. They tried extracting images from two main tissue layers at the back of the eye from the retina and the choroid.

  

• Low-cost method to store, transport life-saving vaccines developed

  According to scientists at the McMaster University in Canada, the research can replace the cumbersome "cold chain" -- constant storage at temperatures between two and eight degrees Celsius -- currently necessary to keep anti-viral vaccines viable.

  

• New machine learning model to classify lung cancer types

  Scientists say they have developed a novel machine learning model to classify different types of lung cancer, and found that it performed on par with three practicing pathologists.

  

• 'Novel method to help assess lung function'

  The team at the University of Southampton in the UK devised the method for numerically describing the complicated three-dimensional structure of the lung using topology - a part of mathematics designed specifically for the study of complex shapes.

  

• Breakthrough in TB research: AKTU scientists identify disease-causing gene

  Using meta-analytic approach, the scientists studied the data by extracting similar information from published research papers about the gene.

  

• Zapping the spine helps paralysed man get back on feet

  These findings show the remarkable recovery potential of the human nervous system after chronic clinically motor complete spinal cord injury and have clear implications for the rehabilitation community.

  

• Blood molecule attracts predators and warns prey - including humans

  Researchers have identified an evolutionarily preserved scent molecule in mammalian blood that attracts predators and repels prey.
