Reprogramming CancerA New Dawn in Oncology |
|
|
|
Scientists in South Korea have unveiled a groundbreaking approach to cancer treatment - one that doesn’t destroy cancer cells but reprograms them back to their normal, healthy state. By precisely reactivating key genes and proteins that cancer cells have shut down, researchers are showing that malignant cells can be guided to “remember” their original function, halting uncontrolled growth without harming healthy tissue. If successful, this innovation could transform cancer care as we know it: fewer side effects, treatments tailored to each patient’s unique genetic profile and a significantly reduced risk of relapse. Instead of fighting the body, this method helps the body restore itself. Read More |

Tiny Robots, Huge Potential: How ETH Zurich’s Microrobots Could Transform Targeted Therapies |
|
|
|
Researchers at ETH Zurich have created a groundbreaking microscale, magnetically guided robot - small enough to navigate through the human bloodstream and deliver drugs directly to hard-to-reach areas inside the body. This tiny robot is designed as a soft, gel-based spherical capsule filled with therapeutic medicine. It contains iron-oxide nanoparticles that allow doctors to control its movement using magnetic fields, while tantalum nanoparticles make the robot visible under X-ray imaging for real-time monitoring during procedures.
To steer this microrobot, the team developed a custom electromagnetic navigation system that can guide it through highly complex vascular networks with remarkable precision. The robot can even move against the natural flow of blood and travel at speeds of up to 4 mm per second. In laboratory models that mimic human blood vessels and in large-animal experiments the microrobot successfully reached its intended target and released its drug payload over 95% of the time.
This innovation has the potential to transform the future of medical treatment by enabling highly targeted, minimally invasive therapies for strokes, tumors, vascular blockages, and localized infections. By sending medications directly to the affected site, these microrobots could drastically reduce side effects, lower toxicity, and improve treatment outcomes. This marks an exciting step toward a new era of precision medicine. Read More
