The nicotine in e-cigarettes seems to damage DNA in ways that may increase cancer risk, a new study in mice suggests.
It's not uncommon to see customers paying for coffee or boarding a flight using a QR code from their smartphone, but some researchers are now looking to create an edible medication QR code. Researchers at the University of Copenhagen recently published a study in the International Journal of Pharmaceutics which looks at creating QR-encoded smart oral medication made by inkjet printing.
The number of men dying from prostate cancer has overtaken the number of women dying from breast cancer for the first time, with the disease now the UK’s third biggest cancer killer.

Washington University School of Medicine sleep specialist Yo-El Ju, MD, led a research team that found circadian rhythm disruptions occur in people whose memories are intact but whose brain scans show early, preclinical evidence of Alzheimer's disease. She previously had discovered that people with clinical symptoms of Alzheimer's have disturbances in their internal body clocks that affect the sleep/wake cycle.

Scientists at the National University of Science and Technology (NUST) MISIS in Russia have developed a new membrane test strip for quantitative immune chromatography rapid tests to rapidly and accurately detect an acute myocardial infarction by analysing blood for the presence of disease markers.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized the treatment of advanced malignancies. By blocking T-cell inhibition these drugs result in immune targeting of tumor cells and normal tissue. As such, their main toxicity is inducing immune-mediated tissue damage.
A new study published in scientific journal Nature Communications distinguishes the reason for extended pancreatic cancer survival: an inverse correlation between a known oncogene, a gene that promotes the development of cancer, and the expression of an oncosuppressor microRNA.
Scientists have created a hair-thin implant that can drip medications deep into the brain by remote control and with pinpoint precision.
A study using epilepsy patients undergoing surgery has given neuroscientists an opportunity to track in unprecedented detail the movement of a thought through the human brain, all the way from inspiration to response.
