Scalp Cooling – An aiding principle in cancer? One of the fatal disease that kills half of the nation’s population is” Cancer”. Patients who are newly diagnosed by cancer are put in a situation where they must undergo a lot and the toughest part is the loss of hair. The inevitable loss of hair is often one of the hardest that most of the women undergo. New technology has raised in US where the researchers were looking forward to eliminating this problem from several patient’s lists of worries. The principle of “ Scalp Cooling ” majorly works by reducing the temperature of the scalp a few degrees immediately before, during and after chemotherapy has been shown to be highly effective for preserving hair in women receiving neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer.                                                       ...

The recent breakthrough in the field of stem cell technology is that, for the first time, researchers developed a customized low-cost 3D printer to print electronics on a real hand. This technology could be used by soldiers on the battlefield to print temporary sensors on their bodies to detect chemical or biological agents or solar cells to charge essential electronics which will be one of the driving factors. Researchers also successfully printed biological cells on the skin wound of a mouse where the principle of the technique lies in developing new medical treatments for wound healing and direct printing of grafts for skin disorders. One of the major advancement of the new 3D-printing technique is that this printer can adjust to small movements of the body during printing. The skin is scanned by placing temporary markers on the skin. The printer uses computer vision to adjust to movements in real-time. This 3D-printing technique also includes a rare feature where it uses...

Nano technology is one the phenomenal tool in the field of medicine where the cure for diseases became much easier. The resources being implemented into nanotechnology across the research world seems to indicate that nano medicine may become a common part of healthcare. Nanotechnology also increases the efficiency of pharmaceutical research. The most significant factor of nano medicine or Nano technology is its targeted nature where it reduces the time taken for the researchers to observe feedback on several trials and treatments which they perform.                    Focusing on the targeting nature of the Nano technology tools scientists have developed a tool which targets only the cancerous cells reducing the side effects and other issues which are caused by the treatment of chemotherapy. Nano probes were developed where the cancer cells can be destroyed by overheating the probes ...
