The most comprehensive genetic map of oral stem cells to date has provided new insight into their specialized development pathways and opens the door to targeted regenerative medicine and interventions, such as therapies to grow bone.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Oral stem cell discovery reveals how they can be made to grow new bone
An effective drug to stop potentially fatal cell damage in heart attack and ischemic stroke is one step closer to reality, after the K’gari funnel-web spider venom molecule Hi1a met critical benchmarks on its road to human trials.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Deadly spider’s life-saving heart and stroke drug set for clinical trial
The largest study of its kind ever carried out in the UK has found that 7,180 of the 40,393 hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 could have been avoided had the population been fully vaccinated.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Coron… Continue reading Lax vax resulted in thousands more COVID deaths, UK-wide study shows
An international team of neuroscientists has for the first time identified five distinct subtypes of Alzheimer’s disease, in what could be a breakthrough for treatment approaches and efficacy. They call for researchers and medical professionals to look at the disease not as a single diagnosis but five specific types of Alzheimer’s.

For two million years, a 10-feet-tall (305-cm), 660-pound (330-kg) ape towered over other fauna and thrived in its lush forest habitat, until it mysteriously vanished during the late middle Pleistocene. And until now, the extinction of Gigantopithecus … Continue reading With help of lasers, mystery of giant ‘King Kong’ ape’s demise finally solved
A climbing vine known as the “Seven Steps of Death” holds within its toxic growth something scientists believe to be a powerful anti-obesity compound, celastrol. For the first time, this hotly touted compound has been produced simply and safely, using … Continue reading Breakthrough as hugely promising weight-loss compound made in yeast
For the first time, scientists have uncovered how the brain’s Behavioral Activation System can override other cognitive functions and subdue external stimuli when we experience romantic love, driving that all-consuming focus on the other person. It’s a… Continue reading In a first, study finds just how romantic love rewires the brain
In a major breakthrough, scientists have identified a rather elusive protein involved in the production of ‘good’ fat, brown fat, and found it can even boost the formation of these cells in white fat. Understanding how to ‘switch on’ the creation of th… Continue reading The protein that dials up ‘good’ fat production has been discovered
Almost 25 years since scientists first identified the difference in anesthetic sensitivity between males and females, new research suggests that sex hormones make men more responsive to this state of unconsciousness – and women far less so.Continue Rea… Continue reading Sex hormones determine how well anesthesic works in men and women
A house made of mucus may not sound like a desirable abode, yet researchers have found that the crafty animal creating such an unappealing structure may help engineers design cheaper and more efficient pumps for vital industrial applications like water… Continue reading Tiny sea creature’s ‘snot palace’ inspires new water-pump tech
