Lymph node (LN) metastasis is a sign that things are going from bad to worse in cancer patients, and prompt treatment is vital. A research team from Tohoku University’s Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering has developed a lymphatic drug delivery system (LDDS), where anticancer drugs are injected directly into the metastatic LNs. When combined with total-body irradiation (TBI), the new LDDS has a superior antitumor effect than conventional chemotherapy on early stage LN metastasis. TBI provides a uniform dose of radiation to the entire body, penetrating areas in which traditional chemotherapy cannot reach. Recently, TBI has shown positive results in…

Ever since the debut of The Crown, there has been much criticism about the marketing of the Netflix hit. Ahead of the fifth season premiere on November 9, the streaming service updated its trailer’s description on Youtube to read: “Inspired by real events, this fictional dramatisation tells the story of Queen Elizabeth II and the political and personal events that shaped her reign.” The change comes days after Judi Dench hit out at Netflix in a letter to Times on Thursday.

Various chemical reactions occur one after another in cells, and life is maintained as each step of the reaction is regulated without error. Recently, a Korean research team has developed a dual-catalyst system that can precisely control catalytic reactions like cells. A POSTECH research team led by professor In Su Lee, research assistant professors Amit Kumar and Nitee Kumari, and master’s student Jongwon Lim (Department of Chemistry) developed a nanoreactor that combines magnetic materials and metal catalysts. A nanoreactor combining two or more catalysts causes a continuous catalytic reaction to help synthesize precise chemicals. However, each step in the synthesis…

Marvel’s Black Panther, anchored by Chadwick Boseman’s stellar performance as King T’Challa, achieved immense critical and cultural acclaim in 2018. It earned over $1 billion at the box office and tallied seven Oscar nominations — including Best Picture — with wins for score, production design, and costume design.
