The blood-brain barrier performs a vital function in keeping out toxins and pathogens, but it can become “leaky.” Now Stanford scientists have identified therapeutic molecules that could help patch it up, to potentially prevent neurological diseases. Source of Article
It may not look anything like the kind of tiny surgeon you'd want inside your soft tissue, but this small, soft metallic robot with flexible 'scales' like the land mammal can be magnetically controlled to treat internal injuries and deliver drugs. Source of Article
A new study has found that combining radiotherapy with a cancer-targeting virus was more effective at combatting a hard-to-treat, deadly form of brain tumor than using either therapy alone. The finding may lead to more effective cancer treatments. Source of Article
Scientists are divided over whether there's a new "earliest known sexed anthropomorphic representation," in the form of a 4.3-cm (1.69-in) carved graphite pendant that University of Bordeaux archaeologists believe is supposed to be a penis. Source of Article
CO2 emissions and plastic waste are two major environmental problems, but a Cambridge device may help tackle both at once. The team demonstrated a new version of their solar reactor, which uses sunlight to convert CO2 and plastic into useful chemicals. Source of Article
Researchers have used a novel, noninvasive method to overcome the challenge of delivering CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology into the brain, knocking out a gene that causes anxiety and opening the door to the development of new medications. Source of Article
As temperatures climb, so does violence. At least that's the conclusion reached by researchers looking at how ancient cultures in the south central Andes responded to climate change about 1,000 years ago. It may be an important cautionary tale. Source of Article
Ever dropped a peanut in a glass of beer? If not, researchers say you're missing out, as it triggers an unusual interaction that temporarily defies the principle of buoyancy. We believe the hypothesis was rigorously tested with repeat experiments. Source of Article
Researchers have created a superabsorbent hydrogel that can pull moisture from the air, even in desert conditions. The new material opens the door to creating an effective, sustainable method of addressing the important issue of water scarcity. Source of Article
It's cheap, easy to transport, effective and non-invasive. Scientists have had their eye on genetically modified lettuce for insulin delivery for a while now (we're as surprised as you are), but it's one step closer after this promising animal trial. Source of Article
