What if I told you that right now, there's a technology that can catch cancer cells before they spread, filter out viral particles, and potentially help millions suffering from long COVID - all by mimicking your body's own defense system? In this episode, ICU Physician and Nephrologist Dr. Mink Chawla, reveals the DARPA-backed breakthrough that's revolutionizing medicine: the Seraph-100 filter. This ingenious device packs the surface area of a football field into something the size of your thumb, creating the ultimate biological "honey trap" for everything from viruses to cancer cells. Watch to find out how this revolutionary approach could change everything we know about treating diseases - from viral infections to cancer. The Seraph 100 filter is made by Exthera Medical and the co-inventors of the filter are Robert Ward PhD and Keith McCrea PhD References: Use of the Seraph® 100 Microbind® Affinity Blood Filter in an adolescent patient with disseminated adenoviral disease A Multicenter Evaluation of the Seraph 100 Microbind Affinity Blood Filter for the Treatment of Severe COVID-19 Interim analysis of the COSA (COVID-19 patients treated with the Seraph® 100 Microbind® Affinity filter) registry Seraph-100 hemoperfusion for management of severe COVID-19: Assessment of serum and plasma analytes pre- and post-filtration Hydrogen acts as a therapeutic antioxidant by selectively reducing cytotoxic oxygen radicals Interactions between heparin and SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein RBD from omicron and other variants.
