Osaka team develops genetic treatment for brain tumor

OSAKA, Japan - An Osaka University research team said on Sept. 28 it has successfully used genetic treatment to cure mice implanted with malignant brain tumors. The brain tumor shown above disappeared after the treatment, which involves integrating a modified gene into a specially made retrovirus and injecting it into the brain to activate an administered drug, enabling it to kill off the tumor.

    (240624) -- BEIJING, June 24, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Xue Qikun (C) communicates with students while attending a salon in Tsinghua University in Beijing, capital of China, Sept. 28, 2020. Xue Qikun won China's top sci-tech award for the year 2023 Monday. Xue is a distinguished scientist of condensed matter physics, who has achieved multiple scientific breakthroughs. His team made the first experimental observation of the quantum anomalous Hall effect. They also discovered interface-enhanced high-temperature superconductivity in the heterostructure system, which opened up a new direction of research in the field of high-temperature superconductivity.

      Photo taken on February 28, 2024, in Chofu, western Tokyo, shows the world's first edible robot developed by Yoshihiro Nakata, associate professor at the University of Electro-Communication, and his research team. Air pressure is used to make the stick-shaped, gelatin-based gummy jiggle on the 3D-printed mug. The robot was developed to study the effects of eating food that looks like it is alive on human psychology.
