Medical engineers at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center are using additive manufacturing to develop customized prosthetic solutions for veterans. In fact, the center is even operating a 3D Medical Application Center (3DAC). There, a team of specialized engineers and 3D printing technicians are developing customized equipment according to the requirements of veterans.

On November 4, 2022, the U.S. FDA has approved the marketing of mivituximab soratansine (Elahere), a cutting-edge antibody-coupled drug targeting folate receptor alpha (FRα), for the treatment of adult patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer who have received one to three systemic treatment regimens and are folate receptor alpha (FRα)-positive and platinum-resistant.

Elahere, the first antibody-coupled drug (ADC) for refractory ovarian cancer, has received accelerated approval from the FDA, resulting in substantial tumour shrinkage in 31.7% of patients and complete tumour disappearance in 4.8%.

SKB264 is currently in Phase II and Phase III clinical trials as a single agent/combination for multiple tumour types.

The FDA has granted accelerated approval to Adagrasib for the treatment of patients with KRAS G12C mutations in non-small cell lung cancer. In the trial, the drug resulted in disease control in 80% of patients, of which, 43% had substantial tumour shrinkage.

According to Telegraph, a new study shows that human doctors will still outperform "robot doctors" in surgery. Compared with robots, human doctors need shorter time to complete surgery, and the error rate is not high.

There is an urgent clinical need for new antimicrobial drugs to break through the dilemma of cIAI treatment in children and address the growing challenge of drug resistance.

DNA nano robot system is one of the nano machines, and has been continuously developed in recent years. In recent years, in the journal Science, we saw another "feat" realized by DNA nano robot - researchers used electric field to accelerate the movement speed of DNA robot system.

Fujifilm Corporation and the National Center for Psychiatric and Neurological Research have announced positive research results using Fujifilm's new AI technology to predict whether a patient with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) will progress to Alzheimer's disease (AD) within two years.

A new generation of oral selective estrogen receptor degrader, elastostat, has shown promise in clinical studies over standard second-line treatments such as fulvestrant for the treatment of patients with metastatic hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.
