CUHK Medicine Professor Nathalie Wong’s team has discovered a first of its kind liver cancer biomarkers that reside on the cell surface membrane, enabling these cancer cells to be identified through the "name tag". The team plans to translate this breakthrough into clinical trials, using CAR-T cell therapy to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes.
我們日常生活經常使用到磁石。由冰箱磁石貼、信用卡、電腦,以至高速行駛的磁懸浮列車,磁石都能大派用場。現在,中大外科團隊研發的智能磁錨定內窺鏡,能將磁石「貼」在身體內,讓它在手術過程中擔當第三隻眼,輔助醫生做手術。新技術有效減少手術器械之間的碰撞、提供清晰的手術影像,更無須中斷手術進行清洗,讓微創手術更安全方便。
