Scientists Destroy 99% of Cancer Cells in The Lab Using Vibrating Molecules
The research team from Rice University, Texas A&M University, and the University of Texas, says the new approach is a marked improvement over another kind of cancer-killing molecular machine previously developed, called Feringa-type motors, which could also break the structures of problematic cells.
"It is a whole new generation of molecular machines that we call molecular jackhammers."
And here is the article that led me to pose the question and do a little research of my own.

9️⃣18 Cancer Patients Went Into Remission After a New Treatment
Cancer research is making incredible progress, and more people are surviving than decades past. A study from March was the perfect example of this progress, with about one-third of clinical trial participants — 18 individuals — going into remission.

A known carcinogen is showing up in wildfire ash, and researchers are worried
Though the researchers only found hexavalent chromium in samples of wildfire ash and not wildfire smoke itself, Fendorf said they inferred that it was likely also present in the smoke. He said the team intends to collect samples from wildfire smoke in the future to test that hypothesis.

AI-screened eye pics diagnose childhood autism with 100% accuracy
“Although future studies are required to establish generalizability, our study represents a notable step toward developing objective screening tools for ASD, which may help address urgent issues such as the inaccessibility of specialized child psychiatry assessments due to limited resources,” said the researchers.

An end to breast cancer? California company develops groundbreaking vaccine with promising future
A groundbreaking vaccine created through decades of research at the Cleveland Clinic and developed by Anixa Biosciences in San Jose, California is driving innovation by targeting triple-negative breast cancer, the disease's deadliest and most aggressive form.
New Tests May Finally Diagnose Long COVID
Some patients say their symptoms are not taken seriously by their doctors and employers may be skeptical of their condition.
Now a new preprint study suggests that the elevation of certain immune system proteins are a commonality in long COVID patients and identifying them may be an accurate way to diagnose the condition.
In a groundbreaking study, scientists have successfully used a new noninvasive brain stimulation technique to modulate deep brain activity, leading to enhanced motor learning, especially in older adults. This finding, published in Nature Neuroscience, has significant implications for understanding brain function and could pave the way for new treatments for various brain disorders

Millennials say they need $525,000 a year to be happy. A Nobel prize winner's research shows they're not wrong.
A new survey found:
* The average person needs $1.2 million in the bank to be happy.
* For millennials, happiness would come from a $525,000 annual salary.
*Still, high inflation, interest rates, and student loans damper Americans' financial happiness.

A Newly Discovered Parkinson’s Trigger Could Open Doors for Prevention, Earlier Treatment
“We showed that dopaminergic synapses become dysfunctional before neuronal death occurs,”
“Based on these findings, we hypothesize that targeting dysfunctional synapses before the neurons are degenerated may represent a better therapeutic strategy.”

Brazil scientists developing new 'vaccine' for cocaine addiction
"The vaccine works by triggering patients' immune systems to produce antibodies that bind to cocaine molecules in the bloodstream, making them too large to pass into the brain's mesolimbic system, or "reward center," where the drug normally stimulates high levels of pleasure-inducing dopamine."
