An early-stage study has found a strain of the common cold virus can effectively target and destroy bladder cancer cells. This phase 1 human trial suggests the virus directly induces tumor cell death, and if verified by larger trials could be used in conjunction with other immunotherapy treatments.

ScienceWhile there are already portable systems designed to detect cocaine in peoples' systems, they can't tell how much of the drug has been taken. That's where a new test comes in. Not only is it reportedly more reliable than existing technology, but it also measures quantities of cocaine in the body.
