With an accuracy rate of over 90%, the new technology can detect cancer cells with as little as 4 ml of blood in no more than five minutes, currently the fastest screening technology in the world, allowing a patient to know his or her risk of cancer... https://www.scmp.com/presented/tech/topics/breakthrough-technology/article/3074301/cityus-new-blood-test-technology?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/tech/topics/breakthrough-technology/article/3074301/cityus-new-blood-test-technology?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 22 May 2020 09:45:00 +0000 [Sponsored Article] A pioneering approach to fighting cancer has revealed as much as a two-third reduction in tumour size and weight in laboratory tests using an anti-cancer chemical compound developed by Dr Zhu Guangyu, Associate Professor in the Department of Chemistry, and his team at City University of Hong Kong (CityU). The compound, called phorbiplatin, offers hope for minimising the damage that “normal” cells undergo during treatment for a broad range of cancers, in particular for breast... https://www.scmp.com/presented/tech/topics/new-tech-fighting-cancer/article/3085028/cityu-researchers-cast-new-light?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/tech/topics/new-tech-fighting-cancer/article/3085028/cityu-researchers-cast-new-light?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 22 May 2020 09:30:00 +0000 [Sponsored Article] Unleashing the intrinsic power of the immune system to fight cancer is the focus of an award-winning research led by a biomedical scientist and her research team at City University of Hong Kong. Dr Chow Kwan Ting, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences, has received the 2019 Croucher Innovation Award for her pioneering research on the anti-tumour activities of a rare immune cell type - plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). The research findings provide... https://www.scmp.com/presented/tech/topics/new-tech-fighting-cancer/article/3085010/rare-cells-bring-new-hope-cancer?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/presented/tech/topics/new-tech-fighting-cancer/article/3085010/rare-cells-bring-new-hope-cancer?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 22 May 2020 09:15:00 +0000
