Although interleukin-12 caused adverse side effects, researchers have long hypothesized that it would be a potent cancer treatment. A new form of the molecule has been created by Pritzker Molecular Engineering researchers that does not activate until it enters a tumor, where it kills cancer cells.Scientists have created a new powerful “masked” cancer drug.Numerous cancer treatments are notoriously harsh on the body; they assault healthy cells simultaneously with tumor cells and result in a wide range of side effects. The…

A motorcyclist in Draper, Utah, was killed early Sunday morning when a Tesla driver using Autopilot slammed into the rear of his bike. It is the latest crash involving Tesla’s advanced driver-assist system to draw scrutiny from federal investigators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The incident occurred just after 1AM Sunday on southbound Interstate 15, according to local reports. The motorcyclist, who has not been identified, was traveling southbound near the Salt Lake and Utah County…

UK broadband users have just been given fresh advice on how to keep their Wi-Fi in tip-top condition and it appears that another popular kitchen gadget could be to blame for dismal downloads. Just last week, Express.co.uk, revealed that fridges can be terrible at disrupting the internet around the home but it also appears that another accessory, many of us use, can also interfere with surfing speeds.Virgin Media has just released advice for keeping customers connected over the summer months and they warn that the humble…

Nobody wants to suffer physical pain if they don't have to, yet they also don't want to risk developing an addiction to pain-killing opioids. That's where a new drug-free implant comes in, as it reduces pain by cooling nerves.The experimental device is being developed by a team led by Northwestern University's Prof. John A. Rogers. It has already been tested on rats, with promising results.Made mainly of a biodegradable, biocompatible elastomer, the soft and flexible implant takes the form a thin strip which is 5 mm wide…

Who is responsible when AI harms someone? A California jury may soon have to decide. In December 2019, a person driving a Tesla with an artificial intelligence driving system killed two people in Gardena in an accident. The Tesla driver faces several years in prison. In light of this and other incidents, both the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating Tesla crashes, and NHTSA has recently broadened its probe to explore how drivers interact…

Scientists at the Institute of Cancer Research in London have developed a new light-activated “photoimmunotherapy” that could help treat brain cancer. The key is a compound that glows under light to guide surgeons to the tumor, while near-infrared light activates a cancer-killing mechanism.The new study builds on a common technique called Fluorescence Guided Surgery (FGS), which involves introducing a fluorescent agent to the body which glows under exposure to light. This is paired with a synthetic molecule that binds to…
