Diabetes has a long list of run-on health effects, and one of them is an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Now, scientists at Oxford have uncovered a mechanism behind that, finding high blood sugar levels “reprogram” stem cells so the white blo… Continue reading Stem cells “reprogrammed” by diabetes could increase heart attack risk

A recently published study in the journal Scientific Reports is presenting evidence to suggest molecules called terpenes synergistically interact with cannabinoids to contribute to the therapeutic effects of cannabis. The research supports a controvers… Continue reading The entourage effect: Is cannabis more than just THC and CBD?

Among the more interesting ways scientists hope to tackle the roots of Alzheimer’s disease is by using microbubbles to prise open the blood brain barrier and sneak in drugs that bust apart toxic plaques. A team in the UK has found new success using this experimental approach, demonstrating how the technique can be combined with ultrasound and a novel metal-based molecule to prevent this type of plaque buildup in its early stages.

Given the lack of auto shows, it’s been a rather slow year for envelope-pushing concept cars. But Pininfarina makes up for lost time with the all-new Teorema, reshaping automotive exterior and interior packaging for a more comfortable all-electric self… Continue reading Bullet-like Pininfarina concept car reshapes electric driving

The US Department of Defense’s Missile Defense Agency is using a pair of CubeSats to develop a system to track hostile ballistic and hypersonic missiles from launch to impact. Part of the Nanosat Testbed Initiative, the CubeSat Networked Communications… Continue reading US Defense Department uses CubeSats to test anti-hypersonic tech
