The future of cancer treatment just got a whole lot brighter. Researchers have created digital twins of patients and used them as virtual guinea pigs, testing out different drugs to predict which one would be most effective against the type of cancer t… Continue reading Your ‘digital twin’ could pinpoint most effective cancer treatment
By obtaining high-resolution images of Alzheimer’s disease-affected brain cells as the condition progresses, researchers have identified the specific neurons that are damaged. The information the ‘cell atlas’ provides highlights potential new treatment targets.

We were this close to seeing Ecstasy being incorporated into therapy in the US in 2024. Now, we have to wait either a little or a lot – depending on how the chips fall. Let’s have a closer look at where we’re currently at.Continue ReadingCategory: Medi… Continue reading US FDA refuses to approve MDMA for PTSD therapy – now what?

In a fascinating discovery, scientists have pinpointed what happens in our brains when we’re expecting pain relief but are given a placebo, unknowingly, instead. It not only confirms ‘the placebo effect,’ but offers clues into how powerful the mind is … Continue reading The placebo effect unlocked: How the brain tricks itself into pain relief

If you suffer from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a pill full of tiny algae robots may be just what you need. The bio-hybrid microrobots have already been shown to reduce symptoms and promote healing in IBD-afflicted lab mice.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Algae cells recruited to serve as bowel-disease-treating robots
For the first time, researchers have shown how effective a simple walking plan is in recovering from and keeping at bay lower back pain episodes. Until now, this common-sense activity has only thought to have had some benefit.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Lower back pain relief lasts twice as long with easy walking plan
There may be new hope for people suffering from debilitating, slow-healing rotator cuff injuries. Chinese scientists have created an implantable 3D-printed material that both restores shoulder motion and boosts the regrowth of torn tendons.Continue Rea… Continue reading Torn rotator cuffs may be no match for new 3D-printed elastomer
Around 29 million people in the US take a daily dose of aspirin as a preventative measure for cardiovascular disease. And while an age-related increased risk of bleeding has seen it fall out of favor with medical authorities, it’s now shaping up as som… Continue reading How aspirin stops the growth and spread of colorectal cancer
