Decoding the Crosstalk Between the Nervous System and Cancer

InteroCANCEption researchers at the Francis Crick Institute report that sensory nerves support tumour growth, that lung tumours remodel nearby nerves, and that cigarette smoke can boost neuronal activity to accelerate tumour progression via a neuro‑immune pathway.

Organoid intelligence: lab-grown brain tissue explored as low-power computing

Researchers are testing 'organoid intelligence'—computing with lab-grown brain tissue—as a low-power alternative to energy-intensive AI. Early demos (Pong, signal prediction, speech classification) show basic computation, but scalability and performance versus silicon remain unproven.

Magnetoelectric Backscatter System Improves Wireless Links for Bioelectronic Implants

A 2026 Communications Engineering paper by Alrashdan et al. reports a magnetoelectric backscatter link that reduces implant power use and sustains data transmission through tissue in ex vivo and phantom tests, with ranges from millimetres to several centimetres.

Frontiers review flags vagus‑targeted neuromodulation as a potential therapy for sepsis‑associated gastrointestinal dysfunction

A 2026 Frontiers in Medicine review frames sepsis‑associated gastrointestinal dysfunction (SAGD) as a neuroimmune and gut–brain disorder and highlights vagus‑targeted neuromodulation, especially taVNS, as a candidate therapy while noting direct clinical evidence is still limited.

Photobiomodulation: what red‑light therapy does and where the evidence stands

Recent meta‑analyses and reviews support red and near‑infrared photobiomodulation for wound healing, some pain conditions, hair loss and oral mucositis; transcranial uses show early promising signals but lack standardized, long‑term trials.

Ultrasound targeted at dorsal ACC produced delayed pain reduction in human study

A Nature Communications study by the University of Plymouth and University of Exeter found low‑intensity transcranial ultrasound to the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex produced a delayed reduction in experimentally induced pain, with altered brain connectivity and biochemical changes observed by MRI/MRS.
