Micro and nanorobots could transform blood clot treatment
Newer tethered devices address some of these limitations: the "milli‑spinner" thrombectomy device applies compressive and shear loading to compact a clot to about 10% of its original volume, enabling ultrafast removal even in pulmonary and cerebral arteries (in vitro and porcine studies).

Study finds no detectable short-term brain harm after one youth soccer season
A prospective European cohort study found that one season of competitive youth soccer was not associated with detectable short-term differences in cognition, behavior, balance, MRI measures, or blood biomarkers compared with noncontact sports. However, soccer players had higher preseason tNAA, GFAP, and NfL levels than controls, highlighting the need for larger, multiyear studies to clarify whether repeated heading has cumulative effects.
