A brand new device, a blood cleansing
machine developed by bioengineers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute has proven to be
effective in clearing the bloodstream of deadly pathogens.The device, also known as the “artificial spleen”
works by running whole blood through a single bio-spleen unit in vitro. It
utilizes protein-coated nanobeads and magnets to bind to sugar molecules on the
surfaces of over 90 different pathogens including bacteria, viruses and
fungi. Read more
This is fascinating research as this device may prove to
fulfill the insurmountable need of combating antibiotic resistant
pathogens. Ebola, watch out…with
continued progress in this research your days may be numbered! Read more
