The Future of Cancer Treatment? New Approach Uses the Zika Virus To Destroy Brain Cancer Cells
The scientists found that vaccine strains of the Zika virus eradicate brain tumor cells while sparing healthy ones. Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School (Duke-NUS) have developed a new approach using the Zika virus to destroy brain cancer cells and inhibit tumour growth, while sparing healthy ce

Researchers are concerned about the secrecy around the #Neuralink brain chip device’s safety and performance.
The company is “only sharing the bits that they want us to know about”, says Sameer Sheth, a neurosurgeon specializing in implanted neurotechnology at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. “There’s a lot of concern in the community about that.”

Boosting the brain's control of prosthetic devices by tapping the cerebellum
Neuroprosthetics, a technology that allows the brain to control external devices such as robotic limbs, is beginning to emerge as a viable option for patients disabled by amputation or neurological conditions such as stroke. Cedars-Sinai investigators, in a study published in the journal Science Advances, are believed to be the first to show that tapping the power of the cerebellum, a region in the back of the brain, could improve patients' ability to control these devices.
