At-home melanoma testing: Skin patch test works in mice
Melanoma testing could one day be done at home with a skin patch and test strip with two lines, similar to COVID-19 home tests, according to University of Michigan researchers.

Fighting aggressive skin cancer becomes possible with AI-designed vaccine approach
Researchers have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence to design a blueprint for building a vaccine that aims to teach the body’s immune system to fight cancer.

Free AI tools match commercial systems in reading medical scans safely and affordably
A new study from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus shows that free, open-source artificial intelligence (AI) tools can help doctors report medical scans just as well as more expensive commercial systems, without putting patient privacy at risk.

New ultrasound technique lets surgeons monitor brain blood flow in real time
Thanks to a new technique, neurosurgeons at UMC Utrecht have been able to watch the blood flow in brain tissue live during surgery for the first time. Together with researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology, they have developed a method that allows them to detect the risk of a stroke during surgery sooner—and potentially prevent it. The technique could also be useful for other types of operations, such as kidney transplants.

Microneedle system monitors glucose and metformin continuously
A wearable technology developed by Technion Professor Hossam Haick and colleagues in China enables real-time, noninvasive tracking and optimized treatment for diabetic patients.

AI platform designs molecular missiles to attack cancer cells
Precision cancer treatment on a larger scale is moving closer now that researchers have developed an AI platform to tailor protein components and arm the patient’s immune cells to fight cancer.
