➀ Researchers developed a living pig lung model from slaughter waste to replace animal testing, maintaining organ stability for up to 24 hours;
➁ The platform enables drug testing, breath analysis, and infection modeling under real-life conditions, reducing reliance on live animal trials;
➂ Collaboration with engineers integrates semiconductor gas sensors and AI for non-invasive breath analysis, advancing precision in medical research.
➀ A Swiss-led study involving ETH Zürich, Universitätsspital Zürich, and Roche used nine molecular technologies to create detailed tumor profiles within four weeks, enabling personalized treatment for melanoma patients;
➁ Each tumor sample generated ~43,000 data points (0.5 TB), with 75% of oncologists finding the AI-assisted recommendations actionable;
➂ The study pioneers data-driven oncology, showcasing potential for predictive therapy selection and paving the way for future clinical trials focused on treatment optimization.
➀ Researchers have successfully grown human teeth in pig jaws, offering a potential new method for tooth replacement.
➁ The study, published in Stem Cells Translational Medicine, involves a mix of human and pig tooth cells grown in pig jaws.
➂ The bioengineered tooth buds are still in the early stages of development but show promise for future applications.
