Surfing the web, I uncovered these news items worth sharing

  • Researchers at the University of Twente have developed a 3D-printed robot designed to take biopsies in an MRI scanner.
  • The US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently announced its new director. Brenda Fitzgerald has been selected to lead the agency. Dr. Fitzgerald will succeed acting director Dr. Anne Schuchat, who took over when Dr. Tom Frieden resigned from the post in January.
  • Funded by Marie Curie and Dimbleby Cancer Care, researchers from the University of Southampton, Cardiff University and University of Leeds have developed a nurse-led intervention to help carers with medication management. For more, see article in Palliative Medicine.
  • Researchers in Japan have developed a new method to image cancer at the single cell-level by using chemical techniques to make whole mouse bodies and organs highly transparent. Discussion found in Cell Reports.
