A new review article, spearheaded by researchers from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, asserts the increasingly prominent condition known as long COVID shares significant physiological similarities to chronic fatigue syndrome. The researche… Continue reading Long COVID and chronic fatigue syndrome share striking similarities
A new study led by researchers at Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center is showing a novel blood test can detect the presence of lung cancer with over 90 percent accuracy. The test uses artificial intelligence to identify abnormal patterns in fragments of… Continue reading Promising lung cancer blood test delivers impressively accurate results
Cancer becomes far more dangerous when it spreads through the body. Now, researchers at Johns Hopkins University have identified a protein that stops cells getting into the bloodstream – and found that metastasizing cancer cells ignore it. This may rev… Continue reading Protective protein prevents cancer cells spreading into the bloodstream
Although there are glues that can be applied to underwater objects, they typically require at least 24 hours to set – which can be tricky in chaotic marine environments. A new additive, however, reportedly allows underwater resin adhesives to set in ju… Continue reading Microcapsule additive allows underwater glues to set in one minute
One of the problems with gradual-release medications lies in the fact that the pills often pass through the body before all of the medication has been released. An experimental new technology addresses that problem, by copying an intestinal parasite.Co… Continue reading Gut-grabbing drug-delivery device is inspired by the hookworm
Damaged brains have given us an incredible treasure trove of information to help us untangle the mysteries of the human mind. A tiny brain lesion can shift a person’s reality in bizarre and tragic ways, as anyone who’s read The Man Who Mistook His Wife… Continue reading The curious case of the man who can’t see numbers
Some natural organisms, such as bone and coral reefs, have an incredible ability to adjust to varying amounts of stress, drawing on nearby minerals for structural reinforcements as the need arises. Scientists at Johns Hopkins University have succeeded … Continue reading Bone-inspired material ups its strength as more force is applied
In order to gauge the risk of mosquito-borne diseases within a given area, authorities typically monitor the numbers of specific mosquito types that are known to carry those illnesses. A new system makes it possible to do so remotely, and thus more eff… Continue reading “Smart” trap tech allows for remote mosquito tracking
A new report from a WHO infectious disease modeling team based at Imperial College London is estimating about two-thirds of Covid-19 cases worldwide have gone undetected. The analysis suggests the global spread of the novel coronavirus is significantly… Continue reading Report claims two-thirds of global coronavirus cases have gone undetected
Engineers from Johns Hopkins have looked to how snakes move around to inform the design of a nimble new robot. It is hoped that the development could lead to search and rescue bots able to tackle all kinds of obstacles with ease.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Snake-inspired robot slithers and climbs over obstacles
