Researchers developed a new cancer treatment called Chlorotoxin:Cy5.5, which can illuminate tumor cells in the operating room, making it easier for surgeons to remove all cancerous cells without injuring surrounding healthy tissue. This technology has the potential to improve cancer therapy and save lives.
Researchers at Seattle Children's Hospital Research Institute have identified a new genetic cause for Joubert syndrome, an inherited condition affecting brain development.
