The promising new research by scientists at Case Western Reserve University and The Cleveland Clinic unlocks a new vaccine that could potentially eliminate the disease.

Just 13% of pancreatic cancer patients make it through five years, making it the deadliest cancer of all. It affects some 500,000 patients globally per year.

But the new treatment, combining an mRNA vaccine with nanoparticle delivery resulted in 50% of test subjects becoming cancer-free within months of the jab.

Four patients with spinal cord damage are up and walking again, with support, after receiving a groundbreaking brain-to-spine implant in China.

There are 50 million people worldwide that suffers from some sort of spinal cord injuries, marking the potential for this novel technique, and so far the results are very positive.

AI to translate signals
The neural implant «translates» signals from the brain to the spinal cord using Ai, and was developed by scientists from The Institute of Science and Technology for Brain-Inspired Intelligence at Fudan University, they write in a release.
