A new two-step process that safely rewarms frozen tissues using nanoscale magnetic rods could help preserve donor organs long-term. The procedure provides an alternative to current time-limited methods and paves the way for more life-saving transplanta… Continue reading ‘Nanowarming’ process a game-changer for organ transplantation
The beta cells of the pancreas don’t need the assistance of other pancreatic cells to produce insulin, according to new research. The findings are not only a potential game-changer for diabetics, but they challenge a long-held assumption about how the … Continue reading Pancreas cells can go it alone when it comes to producing insulin
Examining the muscles of Eddie Hall, a British strongman and deadlift champion, has given researchers greater insight into muscle strength, which could inform athletic performance, injury prevention, and healthy aging – and giving hope to even the non-… Continue reading Strongman’s muscles reveal the secrets of his super-strength
With climate change gaining prominence, there’s a concerted effort around ensuring eco-friendly, well, everything – including end-of-life processes. While traditional fire cremation burns fossil fuels, known pollutants that can emit harmful substances … Continue reading Is water cremation the eco-friendly alternative we should be considering?
Using nanoparticles, researchers have created a sensor that selectively detects levels of cortisol, a well-known stress biomarker, and is more robust than existing methods. Their cheap and easily reproducible device brings us a step closer to stress te… Continue reading At-home stress testing possible, thanks to nanoparticles
A new study has somewhat redeemed the tau protein, which up to now has been associated with the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Turns out, the protein has a ‘good guy’ role, helping to protect against harmful free radicals in the brain and promoting healthy aging.

Proposed methods of removing toxic ‘forever chemicals’ from water have either only trapped the chemicals or broken them down. A new study has demonstrated a method that does both – quickly and cheaply.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags:… Continue reading All-in-one solution captures and destroys ‘forever chemicals’ using light
