Revolutionising Chemotherapy: A Breakthrough DNA Repair Test Takes the Guesswork out of Treatment

 

Chemotherapy has long been a critical tool in the fight against cancer, but its effectiveness can be hindered by the unpredictable way each patient’s body responds to treatment. However, a ground-breaking DNA repair test developed by researchers at Brunel University London promises to revolutionise the field of oncology by taking the “hit-and-miss” out of chemotherapy. The test is called DiNArep, and it has already been granted patents in the UK, US, EU, and Japan. In this blog post, we delve into the details of this remarkable advancement and explore the potential it holds for transforming cancer treatment.

Converting excess carbon dioxide into organic molecules

Converting excess carbon dioxide into organic molecules

 

Since the Industrial Revolution, CO2 emissions have been consistently rising with analysts estimating that total global carbon dioxide emissions reached 40.6 billion tonnes in 2022. Scientists and engineers are not only looking for green alternatives to help reduce emissions, but also ways to utilise the excess carbon dioxide available. A team of researchers from Cornell University has used electrochemistry to convert carbon dioxide into a series of organic molecules that are vital to pharmaceutical development. More…
