This smart contact lenses can diagnose cancer from tears US scientists have developed a contact lens that can help in the early detection of cancer using tears and help in the treatment. The novel lens, developed by the team at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) in California, is able to capture and detect exosomes, the nanometer-sized vesicles found in bodily secretions that have the potential for being diagnostic cancer biomarkers. The lens was designed with microchambers bound to antibodies that can capture exosomes fo...

Intensive farming may actually cut future pandemic risk: Scientists Scientists have thwarted the idea that intensive livestock farming is causing pandemics, and showed that it could actually reduce the risk of future pandemics compared to 'free range' farming. In the wake of Covid-19, modern industrial farms with tightly-packed livestock were projected as potential hothouses for further pandemics caused by "zoonotic" diseases: those transmitted from animals to humans. On the contrary, free-range alternatives, which require far more lan...
