GRAYL is introducing the world's fastest portable water purifier, GEOPRESS PURIFIER, that allows you to drink clean water anywhere you go. It is claimed that this bottle is capable of clearing away all water pathogens (virus, bacteria, protozoan cysts) and filtering chemicals, heavy metals, and even microplastic only in 8 seconds! All you have to do is FILL, PRESS AND DRINK! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thegrayl/grayl-geopresstm-water-purifier-purify-water-anywh?ref=discovery
Three ideas from IdeaSpies were presented by Rachel Tate at the Ashurst March 2019 Boardroom Lunch. The idea receiving the most votes from directors was birth control for mosquitoes! This idea now goes to the final at the December Boardroom Lunch to select the top idea for the year. www.ideaspies.com/post/preventing-diseases-by-stopping-mosquitoes-reproduce/.
Researchers from the University of Kansas have developed a new type of microfluidic lab-on-a-chip which is optimized for detecting exosomes, the tiny parcels of biological information that carry important instructions for tumor growth. In recent years, biologists have mapped exosome behavior to detect cancer. This new device significantly improves exosome detection. It can produce these microfluidic sensors in a cheaper, easier and faster way.. https://www.futurity.org/cancer-blood-lab-on-a-chip-1992392/
Grail is on a quest to detect multiple types of cancer before symptoms, via a single, simple blood test. The test looks at cell-free plasma to find fragments of so-called circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) sloughed off by cancer cells. Detecting cancer sooner ? before symptoms ? means you can intervene earlier and people are less likely to die. http://www.inkl.com/newsletters/morning-edition/news/could-we-soon-be-able-to-detect-cancer-in-10-minutes?
Researchers have found that diabetes could be kept at bay in animals by clearing out defective insulin-producing cells. Drug development has previously been focused on preserving these ?beta cells? by preventing the immune system wiping them out, but US researchers say their findings turn this on its head. Their data suggest the problem may not be an immune system gone awry. Instead, perhaps therapies should find a way to do the job the immune system is failing to do: clear the senescent cells early on. http://www.inkl.com/newsletters/morning-edition/news/paradigm-shift-in-type-1-diabetes-shows-new-drugs-which-could-delay-disease-s-emergence?
