Pioneering red light-activated anti-tumor prodrug reduces side effects — ScienceDaily

Most of the current clinical anti-tumor drugs used in chemotherapy move around in the patient’s blood after intake and are unable to pinpoint the targeted tumor. As a result, while killing the tumor cells, the healthy cells may also be killed as “collateral damage,” leading to undesired side effects. Aiming to overcome this problem, Dr Zhu Guangyu, Associate Professor of Department of Chemistry,…

Light-Activated Tether-Free Neural Stimulation Device

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have developed an ultra-small implantable neural stimulation device that can be activated using a laser and which doesn’t require a cable that tethers it to a controller outside the body. The researchers hope that the device could pave the way for less invasive neural stimulation therapy in…
