AI-guided robot navigates thrombectomy route from leg to brain

Researchers at King’s College London have shown for the first time that AI can autonomously perform thrombectomy navigation in a physical lab setting, a step toward expanding access to life-saving stroke treatment. For their study, now published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, the team developed a robotic system that uses AI to navigate the complex pathway through blood vessels from the leg to the brain during mechanical thrombectomy (MT).

New, more effective delivery method for eye cancer treatment is derived from pig semen

Getting past the barrier surrounding the eye is a difficult but necessary part of treating retinoblastoma (RB)—a form of eye cancer that is more common in children. Once the barrier is penetrated, RB responds well to treatment. However, current methods, such as injections, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, are painful and often cause vision loss and other serious side effects. But, a new method, described in a study published in Science Advances, might offer a safer, more effective way to treat RB.
