    Drug-carrying DNA aptamers can deliver a one-two punch to leukemia by precisely targeting the elusive cancer stem cells that seed cancer relapses, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign report.

    The aptamers — short single-strand snippets of DNA that can target molecules like larger antibodies do — not only deliver cancer-fighting drugs, but also are themselves toxic to the cancer stem cells, the researchers said.

    Touchlessly moving cells: Biotech automation and an acoustically levitating diamond

    Engineers at a University of Bristol spin-out company have created a new technology that can move cells without touching them, enabling critical tasks that currently require large pieces of lab equipment to be carried out on a benchtop device.

    The invention could accelerate the discovery of new medicines and unlock personalised medicine screening in clinics.

    The groundbreaking concept was unveiled for the first time today in an article in Science published by Dr Luke Cox, where he describes…
