Stress and depression often go hand-in-hand. Now, novel research has shown that a known antidepressant agent, KNT-127, also reduces stress, providing insight into the physiological processes underpinning depression, and has potential for new treatments… Continue reading Two-for-one treatment: Antidepressant agent found to also reduce stress
In the winter months, at the bottom of Lake Akan in Hokkaido, Japan, harmless underwater algae balls that can grow to be bigger than basketballs are protected from death by an ice shield on top of the water. That shield is expected to thin thanks to gl… Continue reading Another potential climate casualty: Beloved fluffy balls of algae
With the ability to be finely engineered to tackle the disease in different ways, nanoparticles hold huge potential when it comes to cancer treatment. Researchers at the Tokyo University of Science have now demonstrated a low-cost and highly promising … Continue reading Nanoparticles made from corn juice inhibit tumor growth in mice
Intriguing new preclinical research from a team of Japanese scientists has found targeting opioid receptors in the gut could be a new treatment for inflammatory bowel disease. The research builds on early evidence showing a relationship between opioids… Continue reading New discovery reveals direct link between opioids and gut inflammation
Loading anti-cancer medicines into drug delivery vessels that can carry them to the site of the tumor before releasing them could offer new highly effective forms of treatment, and scientists in Japan have developed a promising new technology for these… Continue reading Hydrogel releases cancer drugs in response to temperature and acidity
Scientists at the Tokyo University of Science have used rust as a catalyst in light-assisted hydrogen production from organic waste, finding it produces 25 times more hydrogen than previous titanium dioxide catalysts.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, S… Continue reading Rust and light combine for a 25x boost in hydrogen production
