A new continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that is not only non-invasive but that predicts blood sugar levels from ECG data promises to shake up diabetes management. The device is being showcased at the 2024 Taiwan Innotech Expo.Continue ReadingCategory: B… Continue reading Non-invasive ECG device for diabetics live-monitors your blood sugar
An insulin that switches itself on and off in response to blood glucose levels has proven successful in lowering the risk of dangerously low glucose levels, or hypos, in animals. According to researchers, the drug holds great promise for the tens of mi… Continue reading ‘Insulin with a switch’ will help diabetics avoid dangerous hypos

A tiny chip with a unique surface can accurately detect the blood biomarkers of a heart attack within minutes, a fraction of the time taken by current methods, even if they’re at very low concentrations. The researchers behind the device see it being u… Continue reading At-home heart attack detector gives results in minutes, not hours
By obtaining high-resolution images of Alzheimer’s disease-affected brain cells as the condition progresses, researchers have identified the specific neurons that are damaged. The information the ‘cell atlas’ provides highlights potential new treatment targets.

A new review has highlighted how skin tone can affect the safety and effectiveness of some medications and why the current way we run clinical drug trials needs to change to include more historically underrepresented populations.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Your skin tone impacts how well your medications work
A new oral nanotherapy works directly on the small intestine, reducing its ability to absorb fat from the food we eat, according to a new study. While the therapy is at the early stages, if it proves effective in humans, it has huge potential as a trea… Continue reading New fat-blocking nanotherapy tackles diet-caused obesity at the source
Researchers have developed a gene therapy technology that uses magnetic fields to switch groups of neurons on and off, controlling brain circuits affected by Parkinson’s disease. In addition to Parkinson’s, the tech could be used to treat conditions as… Continue reading Magnets used to turn specific brain circuits off and on at will
High-resolution images taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot have revealed that it’s not as stable as we thought. Instead, the Spot is squeezing in and out, with NASA describing it as “jiggling like a bowl of gelatin.”Continue… Continue reading Jupiter’s Great Red Spot unstable, ‘jiggling like a bowl of gelatin’
