Scientists just taught bacteria how to eat cancer from the inside out. 🧫 Researchers at the University of Waterloo engineered a bacterium called Clostridium sporogenes to survive only inside the oxygen free core of solid tumors. Once inside it multiplies and begins breaking down the dead tissue that fuels the tumor. The team led by Dr Brian Ingalls, Dr Sara Sadr and Dr Marc Aucoin built a genetic switch using synthetic biology so the bacteria only activate once enough of them gather inside the tumor. 🔬 Sources: University of Waterloo, ACS Synthetic Biology, EurekAlert

Doctors in France just unveiled a heart that could keep beating for years without ever needing a donor 😳❤️. The device is called the Aeson Total Artificial Heart, built by the French company Carmat. It uses biological materials and smart sensors that automatically adjust blood flow when a person walks, rests, or feels stressed, closely copying how a real heart behaves. Thousands of people die every year while waiting for a transplant, so this technology could change that reality completely 🙏. Doctors at Georges Pompidou Hospital in Paris say the heart can extend life by several years, though scientists admit no device today can truly beat forever ⚙️. For families watching a loved one wait helplessly for a donor, even a few extra years feel like a miracle. Could the future mean nobody has to wait for a heart again 💭 Sources: Carmat, CNN Business, Georges Pompidou European Hospital, AFP
