Taking prescription medications in the right dose at the right time can directly impact a patient’s health. Conversely, missing medications or not taking them as required can have costly results. Bioengineers at Rice University may have the solution to… Continue reading Advanced microparticles may make missed meds a thing of the past
Current methods for repairing injured nerves can be hit-and-miss and are restricted to repair over short distances. For the first time, researchers have combined two kinds of silk to create a promising biocompatible method of regenerating injured nerve… Continue reading Spider, silkworm silk combined to create new nerve-repairing material
Researchers from Tel Aviv University, Israel, have created a micro-robot the size of a single biological cell that navigates using both electricity and magnetic fields and can identify and capture a single cell, opening the door to a vast array of appl… Continue reading Tiny hybrid robot can identify, capture a single cell
Ants can be found in huge numbers in almost all of the world’s regions and habitats. But how did they become the most populous, highly diverse insect species on the planet? Scientists may have an answer, and it has to do with plants.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Ants and plants: A 60-million-year-old evolutionary friendship
Developing effective treatments for genetic lung diseases such as cystic fibrosis has proven challenging. That might not be the case for much longer, with scientists developing a new type of nanoparticle that can carry gene-editing technology directly … Continue reading New nanoparticles deliver gene-editing tech directly into the lungs
Heart failure is a global health problem commonly complicated by sleep apnea, a co-morbidity that further reduces a person’s lifespan. A promising new drug has been developed that could treat heart failure and sleep apnea by targeting the nervous activ… Continue reading New drug offers “two-for-one” treatment of heart failure, sleep apnea
Saturn is renowned for its rings, easily visible through an ordinary telescope. Now, using observations collected over 40 years, scientists have discovered that the planet’s iconic rings may not be as calm as they look, uncovering a never-before-seen i… Continue reading 40 years of Saturn data uncovers never-before-seen ring phenomenon
Human stem cells can differentiate into any human cell. But the process of dedifferentiation, essentially differentiation in reverse, is implicated in several diseases. Now researchers have uncovered a mechanism that is key to the process of stem cell … Continue reading Key mechanism behind human stem cell differentiation uncovered
Australia is poised to undertake its first clinical trial using fecal transplantation to treat blood cancer patients who’ve developed serious complications following bone marrow transplantation.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Cancer, fe… Continue reading Groundbreaking trial of fecal transplant treatment for cancer patients
After water, concrete is the world’s most consumed material and is the mainstay of construction everywhere, and concrete production’s impact on the environment is significant. Researchers have discovered that introducing an inexpensive, readily availab… Continue reading An inexpensive ingredient may reduce concrete’s climate impact
