Researchers develop microrobot designed to deliver stem cells via intranasal pathway - 0 views

  •  
    They are undifferentiated cells capable of being anything. You might know them as stem cells and now a robot can take them up your nose into your brain. "Researchers have developed a stem cell-based microrobot called "cellbot" capable of delivering stem cells to the brain via intranasal passage using a minimally invasive method. The cellbot has the potential to become a key player in the treatment of neurological disorders such as brain cancer, Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease."

The recent trial was a so-called Phase 2B trial, which was intended to figure out the appropriate dose; the next trial, a Phase 3, will test that chosen dose in a larger group." Where do we sign up?

3D-printed steak, anyone? I taste test this 'gamechanging' meat mimic | Food | The Guar... - 0 views

    Wow, check out the picture of the Meat 3-D printer on this article. "The "meat" is 3D printed, and the mimicry is extraordinary. The molecules of difference that create the flavour of beef, as distinct from that of lamb, are few but extremely powerful. This is certainly the closest synthetic approximation yet."
