A la mayoría de la gente no le gusta aplicarse vacunas o inyecciones para recibir tratamientos. Por eso, los investigadores trabajan para crear más medicamentos, como los que se fabrican a partir de ARN mensajero (ARNm), que puedan pulverizarse e inhalarse. Un estudio publicado en la revista Journal of the American Chemical Society informa sobre los avances para hacer posible los medicamentos de ARNm inhalables. Los investigadores indican que la nanopartícula de polímero lipídico, que es estable cuando se nebuliza y libera aerosoles (gotitas líquidas) en los pulmones de ratones de forma satisfactoria, se optimizó para contener el ARNm.

Los rayos X son un componente habitual de las pruebas diagnósticas y el monitoreo industrial, y se utilizan para todo, desde el control de los dientes hasta el escaneo de maletas en el aeropuerto. Sin embargo, los rayos de elevada energía también producen radiación ionizante, que puede ser peligrosa tras exposiciones prolongadas o excesivas. Ahora, investigadores que publican en ACS Central Science han avanzado hacia rayos X más seguros con la creación de un detector altamente sensible y plegable que genera imágenes de buena calidad con dosis más pequeñas de estos rayos.

Researchers have developed an AI powered model that — in 10 seconds — can determine during surgery if any part of a cancerous brain tumor that could be removed remains, a study published in Nature suggests. The technology, called FastGlioma, outperformed conventional methods for identifying what remains of a tumor by a wide margin. Researchers say it has the potential to change the field of neurosurgery by immediately improving comprehensive management of patients with diffuse gliomas.
