The FDA has followed highly promising results from trials demonstrating the hair regrowth potential of a common arthritis drug with a landmark approval, giving baricitinib the green light as a treatment for severe alopecia areata. The move makes the dr… Continue reading FDA approves first-of-a-kind hair loss drug for severe alopecia
Plastic is infamous for its ability to persist in the environment for many years, and while alternatives made from biomass may well address this issue, they don’t always offer the same performance during use. Scientists have created a new form of biopl… Continue reading Bioplastic made with vanilla bean extract self-destructs under UV light
At the heart of much research into Parkinson’s, both its causes and new forms of treatment, is a type of brain protein called alpha-synuclein. This is known to play an important role in the movement of vesicle structures that transport materials in and around cells, but new research has found it is in fact leading a “double life,” impacting on gene expression in a way that opens up new possibilities for treatment.

Charging times are a hugely important factor when it comes to driving the adoption of electric vehicles, and we’re seeing exciting advances aimed at getting users back on the road with minimal delay. US startup Enovix hopes to play its part in all of t… Continue reading Enovix’s silicon-based EV battery hits 98 percent charge in 10 minutes
Tentsile has built an impressive stable of suspended sleeping shelters and hammocks since launching its very first tree tent in 2012, and its latest creations land with a particularly green tinge. The company has dropped a new tent and hammock combo th… Continue reading Tentsile’s new hanging shelters feature fabric made from ocean plastics
The magnitude of our plastic waste problem has scientists searching far and wide for answers, and for a team at Australia’s University of Queensland (UQ) this search has led them to hungry little critters known as “superworms.” These tiny creatures hav… Continue reading Superworms act like “mini recycling plants” to survive solely on plastic
When it comes to the different ways of exercising the human body, walking is about as accessible as they come, and new research suggests it could be a powerful way to tackle osteoarthritis in the knees. A study examined the benefits of a regular saunte… Continue reading Walking found to reduce pain and slow damage in arthritic knees
