Poor Healthcare Technology Experiences Erode Consumer Trust. AI Can Repair Relationships
The following is a guest article by Sanjeev Sawai, Chief Product and Technology Officer at mPulse Mobile
The expansion and specialization of health networks has made it difficult for most consumers to navigate and advocate for themselves within today’s healthcare organizations.
For the average health consumer, simply identifying in-network providers, requesting a cost estimate, or scheduling a medical test presents a major hassle. Add a chronic condition or difficult diagnosis in the mix and the burden of accessing required care only increases. Over time, unsatisfactory healthcare interactions leave consumers frustra...

Tiny Cylinders for Controlled Drug Release
Researchers at Rice University have developed a new type of microparticle for drug delivery, made from a polymer called PLGA that has already been extensively explored as a component in drug delivery systems. However, what makes these new particles different is the method of loading and sealing them, which appears to give them highly tunable release characteristics and may even allow the researchers to create particles that provide multiple doses of a drug, or continuous dosing, over the space of several months. The researchers have called their new particle creation method PULSED (Particles Uniformly Liquified and Sealed ...

An mRNA Vaccine to Treat Cancer
by Gertrud U. Rey There are several highly effective vaccines that block infection by human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and thereby prevent the cervical, anogenital, and head and neck cancers caused by these viruses. However, none of these vaccines are effective for the treatment of established HPV-induced tumors. The success of the COVID-19 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines … An mRNA Vaccine to Treat Cancer Read More » (Source: virology blog)

CRISPR Combined with Glowing Proteins for Viral Detection
Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands have developed a sensitive diagnostic test for viral pathogens that is suitable for use in low-resource regions. The test is based on CRISPR proteins that can detect viral genetic material but also incorporates luciferase proteins, which are bioluminescent proteins that are naturally found in fireflies and other creatures. Two CRISPR/Cas proteins are specific for different parts of the viral genome, and when they both bind to target nucleic acid sequences they join together, uniting two fragments of luciferase and initiating a bioluminescent signal. The r...

Thoughts on Unexpected Sequences Found In COVID mRNA Vaccines
Writing this piece is not easy, not only because the topic matter is completely in controversies around SARS-CoV-2 and the vaccines for it, but because the data was generated by someone whose outspoken opinions on any COVID-19 public health topic are nearly always ones I find myself in opposition to. Someone who periodically lobs my way personal attacks on my ethics. It doesn't help that these results will be certainly misused to attempt to undermine public confidence in the vaccines, or that this post will probably attract a lot of commentary that I don't wish to address because of the adage that generating m...
