Olympus ViziShot 2 FLEX 19 G EBUS-TBNA Needle Helps Guide Lung Cancer Treatment
Olympus announced today the results of a pilot study showing the safety and effectiveness of the ViziShot 2 FLEX 19 G EBUS-TBNA Needle in gathering tissue samples critical to guiding treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
CPC Launches New MicroCNX Connectors, a First for Small-Volume Biopharma Processing
MicroCNX connectors are a critically important option for a range of bioprocessing, cell therapy and gene therapy workflows,.”Until now, cumbersome tube welding has been the only way to make sterile closed connections of very small-bore tubing. The MicroCNX connector represents a huge innovation for the industry.
Herpes Linked to Alzheimer’s Disease
“It was as long ago as 1991 when we discovered that, in many elderly people infected with HSV1, the virus is present also in the brain, and then in 1997 that it confers a strong risk of Alzheimer’s disease in the brain of people who have a specific genetic factor.”
Neural Circuits Controlled By Sound Waves
In the maze of our brains, there are various pathways by which neural signals travel. These pathways can go awry in patients with neurological and psychiatric diseases and disorders, including epilepsy, Parkinson’s, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Researchers have developed new therapeutic strategies to more precisely target neural pathways involved in these conditions, but they often require surgery.
Gene Editing Therapy Made Safer With New CRISPR Technique
Scientists from The University of Texas at Austin took an important step toward safer gene editing cures for life-threatening disorders, from cancer to HIV to Huntington’s disease, by developing a technique that can spot editing mistakes a popular tool known as CRISPR makes to an individual’s genome. The research appears today in the journal Cell.
Immune Cells Boosted by Nanoparticles
By developing nanoparticle “backpacks” that hold immune-stimulating drugs, and attaching them directly to T cells, the MIT engineers showed in a study of mice that they could enhance those T cells’ activity without harmful side effects. In more than half of the treated animals, tumors disappeared completely.
Biotechnology Innovation Platform Launched by HKU
Biotechnology Innovation Platform Launch expected to become a national-level technology startup incubator. It aims to host at least 50 spinoff companies and commercialize the results of at least 10 HKU research projects within five years. The platform will focus on key areas including cancer treatment, medical devices and infectious disease treatment.

Osteoarthritis Pain Eased by Graphene Foam Suggested by Research
Boise State researchers believe graphene foam-enhanced cartilage could one day be used to treat the joint pain caused by osteoarthritis as well as prevent the need for joint replacement. Osteoarthritis is incurable and affects half the U.S. population over the age of 65.
Alzheimer’s Disease Study Suggests Viral Beginnings
More than a century after its discovery, no effective prevention or treatment exists for this progressive deterioration of brain tissue, memory and identity. With more people living to older ages, there is a growing need to clarify Alzheimer’s disease risk factors and disease mechanisms and use this information to find new ways in which to treat and prevent this terrible disorder.
