#tumors — Public Fediverse posts

MIT #chemists have designed a new type of #fluorescent #molecule that they hope could be used for applications such as generating clearer images of #tumors.

Using a simple concept and a patented Sandia #sensor that detects #radioactive materials, a team at Sandia National Laboratories has developed a patch to stop damage to healthy tissue during proton #radiotherapy, one of the best tools to target certain #cancerous #tumors.

Did you know that during #embryo development, migrating #monocytes deposit tracks of pro-angiogenic #migrasomes guiding the formation of blood vessels?

In this interesting manuscript published in Nature Cell Biology, researchers at Tsinghua University in Beijing studied this phenomenon in the chorioallantoic membrane of chick embryos: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41556-022-01026-3

This could have implications in organotypic #tissueengineering and provide new ways how to inhibit #angiogenesis in solid #tumors.
