Rapid ‘barcode’ sensor can screen for drug-resistant bacteria

Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU)-led research team has developed a novel cell sensor with a barcode-like micro-channel structure that enables rapid and low-cost screening of drug-resistant bacteria. The low-cost invention could potentially be used to screen food and water, as well as urgent samples during an infectious disease outbreak. 

Exploring the link between PM2.5 and neurological disorders

A comprehensive meta-analysis conducted by scientists at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has found a significant association between exposure to PM2.5, fine particulates of less than 2.5 microns, and neurological disorders such as stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. Neurological disorders are the leading cause of disability and the second leading cause of death worldwide, posing serious challenges to global health.

Novel targeted therapy for triple-negative breast cancer

Researchers from Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) have developed a novel targeted therapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) that uses a specially-designed nano-carrier to deliver the Chinese medicine compound gambogic acid (GA). The invention enhances the anti-cancer effect of GA and reduces its damage to off-target organs, and it could become a more effective therapeutic option for TNBC.
