4-Aug-2025 The robotic breakthrough that could help stroke survivors reclaim their stride Georgia Institute of Technology Georgia Tech researchers have developed an AI-powered hip exoskeleton that adapts in real time to a stroke survivor’s changing gait, helping patients walk with greater ease and confidence. Unlike traditional devices that require constant manual tuning, the system learns each person’s unique stride within minutes and continues adjusting as they move. The breakthrough could extend beyond stroke recovery, offering personalized mobility support for people of all ages and conditions.

1-Aug-2025 Non-smokers account for 20% of lung cancer diagnoses BGI Genomics Almost five new cases of lung cancer are diagnosed every minute globally and one of them would be a non-smoker. Screening gap remains one of the critical challenges of lung cancer prevention as most of the current screening programs are offered to smokers. Genetic testing provides an alternative screening option to identify genetic mutations before symptoms appear, saving a time window for timely treatment.
1-Aug-2025 Chikungunya cases surge sixfold in South China city in a week BGI Genomics Transmission dynamics are complicated by mosquitoes' ability to carry multiple viruses simultaneously. For complex infections that may involve multiple viruses and pathogens, metagenomics next-generation sequencing (mNGS) technology is a more comprehensive approach. It offers in-depth reports for rapid and accurate detection.
