• ITMO Scientists Suggest New Synthesis Method For Nanoparticles Used in Cancer Treatment and Diagnostics

  Researchers from ITMO’s ChemBio Cluster have suggested a new way of synthesizing magnetic nanoparticles for cancer treatment and diagnostics. Thanks to machine learning at the core of the new approach, the scientists can quickly select the properties of nanoparticles for efficient MRI diagnostics and hyperthermia treatment. With the new method, the synthesis of a single nanoparticle takes just a few seconds – compared to the hours required in the conventional experimental approach. The method was described in a paper published in Small.

• How Migraines Happen: Latest Research Reveals New Details

  Despite the fact that one in every seven people worldwide experiences migraines, their exact mechanisms and treatment have not been completely explained. In pursuit of a cure, researchers use nitroglycerin injections to simulate migraines in animals. Though commonly known as a vasodilator, the drug has exhibited inverse properties in a recent study conducted by three Russian universities. The findings shed light on migraine triggers, paving the way for novel treatment strategies.
