How Computer-Aided Drug Discovery Is Leading to Revolutionary Cancer Treatment

Clinical trials have begun for a first-in-class medication that targets specific genetic mutations implicated in many types of cancer. Watch this video to learn how a collaboration between the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, BridgeBio Oncology Therapeutics, and the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research is helping to revolutionize cancer treatment and computer-aided drug discovery.

Fiber-Powered Wearables

Researchers have established new, scalable methods of developing battery- and solar-powered fibers, making it theoretically possible for electrical energy to be harvested from, and stored in, the clothing people wear. Watch this video to learn how a development in fiber power sources — submillimeterthin battery and photovoltaic strands that could be woven directly into fabrics — opens up a new world of wearable electronics and smart textiles.

Biodegradable Millirobot Releases Targeted Drugs

A nanofiber-based biodegradable millirobot, called Fibot, can move in the intestines and degrade in response to the pH of its environment, thus releasing different drugs in different anchored positions. The research has shed light on the development of millirobots, with the potential application of the controlled release of drugs in targeted positions in the intestines.

Universal, Long-Lasting Flu Shot

Researchers have opened a new avenue in the attack against influenza viruses by creating a vaccine that encourages the immune system to target a portion of the virus surface that is less variable. This new vaccine approach is part of a 5-year-old effort to develop a longer-lasting universal flu vaccine that would be able to foil all versions of the virus.
