A pair of researchers at McMaster University’s School of Biomedical Engineering have developed a way of cultivating meat that not only does away with the animal, but also allows for greater control over the texture and taste of the end product.Continue… Continue reading Stacking sheets of tissue builds better lab-grown meat
Researchers in Canada have diagnosed an advanced, malignant bone cancer – in a dinosaur. Using the kinds of diagnostic techniques used in humans, a team of cancer professionals examined a large growth on the long-dead animal’s leg bone, marking the fir… Continue reading Dinosaur diagnosed with late-stage cancer in first-of-its-kind study
A systemic review of 17 randomized control trials has concluded cognitive behavioral therapy does not need to be conducted in person to be effective. The study found, for depression, the therapy was as effective when administered remotely using video c… Continue reading Remote therapy for depression as effective as meeting in person, metastudy finds
A trio of recent studies are uncovering compelling new insights into the role gut bacteria play in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). From discovering higher than average bacterial loads in tissue samples from diabetes patients, to a newly disco… Continue reading Gut microbiome studies reveal new bacterial links with diabetes
If you like spicy foods, then you’re probably aware of the claimed anti-inflammatory qualities of turmeric. Scientists have now developed what they say is a more effective way of biologically delivering turmeric’s active compound, curcumin.

Researchers at McMaster University in Ontario have developed a plastic wrap that repels viruses and bacteria, including some of the scariest antibiotic-resistant superbugs known to science. With the help of a scanning electron microscope, the researchers were able to watch superbugs like MRSA and Pseudomonas bounce right off the surface. …read more

The most numerous of organisms on Earth, bacteriophages are viruses that infect and kill bacteria. Now, scientists have grown enough of them to create a self-healing hydrogel that’s made almost entirely of the things. It could have important … Continue reading Self-healing antibacterial gel is made of viruses
In an effort to make vaccines more available to people in difficult to reach areas, a team of scientists at McMaster University has developed an inexpensive, sugary gel that can preserve heat-fragile antiviral vaccines for over eight weeks at… Continue reading Sugary gel allows vaccines to be transported where refrigeration is lacking
