Breaking down biomedical science into bite-size pieces 🔬

Antibiotics are our greatest weapon in the fight against bacterial infections. However, overuse and overprescription has resulted in resistant bacteria called “super bugs”!
So how is science fighting back? Find out👉 https://t.co/NHhdsTPJJR

Can lasers be used to find and fight disease AND treat conditions such as epilepsy....😮

Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive cancer that turns off our immune system to prevent its destruction. However researchers @umnmedschool are using temperature to turn it back on! But this can't be too hot..or too cold..it needs to be just right🌡

Did you know, how you came into this world affects your gut health. Researchers at @sangerinstitute and @ucl have shown that C-section babies lack important gut microbes gained through vaginal birth. To solve this, researchers propose rubbing these babies with 'vaginal juices' 😮

@osi_medcoding @radboudumc @theNCI @NIH @NCIMedia @CancerAustralia @ImmunologyUoB @RadboudumcOnc @MayoClinic The ability to do this would save immeasurable costs, time and patient discomfort when it would inevitably have been deemed futile!

[Bitesize Science @BitesizeScience]

Researchers at @radboudumc are developing an electronic 'nose' that can be used to detect chemicals on a patients breath that indicate their likelihood of responding positively to immunotherapies such as CAR T-Cell therapy, which uses the patients immune system to fight cancer!

Insufficient rehabilitation remains one of the key factors contributing to poor patient outcomes following stroke. @EngineeringUSF and @MoterumTech are looking to reduce the risk of falls in stroke survivors through specially engineered shoe attachments to correct stride gait!

Our immune system is what protects us from sickness and disease. BUT did you know that when it becomes overactive, it can acutally lead to chronic inflammation and the development of conditions such as chronic wounds and Diabetic Foot Ulcers!

Researchers at @NCState are developing new soft robotics and prosthetics that take inspiration from the neural structures present in the arms of Octopus. These structures allow Octopus arms to rapidly respond to sensory stimuli without having to wait for a message from the brain!

Can disease be cured through...simply flicking a GENETIC switch? Researchers at @KU_Leuven are looking to Adult Stem Cells to shed some..💡..on the matter!

Researchers at @VanderbiltU have shown that during activities such as movement, cancer cells opt for the path of least reistance...that requires the least amount of energy! This has important implications for cancer research, as well as other conditons such as chronic wounds
