    How to biohack your cells to fight cancer - Greg Foot

    Published on Apr 9, 2019

    Check out the science of biohacking, where biologists go into a patient’s genetic code and reprogram their immune system to recognize and fight cancer cells.

    The human body is made up of about 30 trillion cells that carry a code which has been duplicated over and over for billions of years - with varying degrees of accuracy. So what happens when the system breaks down and the machinery turns on itself, leading to cancer? Greg Foot dives into the science of how biologists are biohacking the human body to try to fix the seemingly unfixable.

    Lesson by Greg Foot, directed by Pierangelo Pirak.

    Nanotechnology vs. cancer: How tiny particles sniff out the deadly disease | Susan Hockfield

    Published on May 17, 2019

    We may be able to detect cancer soon by simply peeing on a stick.

    - Cancer is an aberrant function of a normal cell, where the regulators of that cell's dividing are broken and the cell starts to divide without regulation. Left to its own devices, that dividing without regulation will overcome the entire body.

    - Until we have a cure, early detection is the holy grail. MIT professor Sangeeta Bhatia is currently devising a simple urine test that works just like a pregnancy test to detect cancer the moment it starts.

    - How does it work? Nanoparticles are injected into the body that force specific peptides, previously invisible signs of cancer, to be easily detected in urine. In the future, this test may be part of your yearly physical check-up.

    Susan Hockfield is a neuroscientist based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From 2004 to 2012, she served as the 16th president of the university. Hockfield was the first woman, and the first life scientist, to lead the institute. Prior to MIT, she worked at Yale University, where she served in myriad capacities. Among them, the William Edward Gilbert Professor of Neurobiology, Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and Provost. She is the author of "The Age of Living Machines: How Biology Will Build the Next Technology Revolution"

    If we understand more about cancer on the molecular level, we can learn to treat it more effectively.

    Article "Hillel's Tech corner: Ibex: AI-powered cancer detection"
    As many as 9.6 million people succumbed to cancer in 2018. Cancer has also inflicted an economic cost on the world, as much as $1.6 trillion in 2010.
