CRISPR Gene Therapy, ultrasound and drugs combine against liver cancer
2021-12-09 10:24
Chinese researchers have developed a new three-component method of fighting liver cancer, which has shown promise in tests on mice. This method combines drugs and editing of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene into lipid nanoparticles, and then activates them with ultrasound.
One of the new cancer treatment methods is known as sonodynamic therapy (SDT), which involves the delivery of drugs to the tumor and their subseque...
LIFE OF THE HIGGS BOSON
2021-12-08 11:23
The Higgs boson is peculiar in many respects. Like most other elementary particles, it is unstable and lives only for an extremely short time, 1.6 x 10-22 seconds, according to the established theory of particle physics (the standard model). Pretty short, isn't it? Compare this number to 880 seconds (about 15 minutes), the average lifetime of a neutron outside an atomic nucleus. The lifetime of an unsta...
