Scarring of heart tissue can be slowed but not stopped, and can lead to heart failure. But a new study has shown that an existing immunotherapy could stop scar tissue formation after heart attacks.Continue ReadingCategory: Heart Disease, Illnesses and … Continue reading Immunotherapy prevents heart attacks progressing to heart failure
Slowing down the dreaded aging process is something that everybody’s interested in, and now scientists have uncovered a new pathway to doing so. The team identified a feedback loop in the brain, and found that ramping up its activity helped mice live l… Continue reading Activating certain brain cells slows aging and boosts lifespan in mice
One of the more sinister functions of deepfake AI systems is the ability to replicate a person’s voice, based on even just a short recording. A new software tool known as AntiFake, however, could help keep that from happening.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading AntiFake AI tech could keep your voice from being deepfaked
Scientists have discovered that viruses can latch onto other viruses to insert their genes into host cells. Lab results with apparent contamination led the team to directly see the strange interaction for the first time.Continue ReadingCategory: Biolog… Continue reading Scientists spot viruses attaching to other viruses for first time
As a new age of weight-loss therapeutics dawns, heralded by the likes of semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy), scientists are one step closer to creating a drug that can coax muscles into behaving as if they’ve just been put through a vigorous workout. Known … Continue reading Drug that mimics exercise triggers weight loss and builds lean muscle
While there may be a lot to worry about when it comes to climate change, a new study has found that we’re doing something right when it comes to air pollution. An analysis of global data has found that exposure to fine particulate matter, a leading env… Continue reading Global mitigation strategies, led by China, reverse air pollution trends
Although we’re hearing more and more about stretchable electronics, the fabrication of such devices’ components is far beyond most people’s abilities. Now, however, scientists have created inks that let anyone draw stretchable LEDS onto various surface… Continue reading High-tech inks let anyone draw stretchable LEDs with a ballpoint pen
Researchers have developed a novel device that detects the COVID-19 virus in one minute using just a couple of breaths of exhaled air. The device has the potential to revolutionize the testing process, especially in hospitals and schools and at large-s… Continue reading 1-minute COVID breathalyzer could revolutionize testing at social events
In an exciting step forward in surgery advances, the first liver transplant performed by a robot has successfully taken place in the US, as clinics plan to ramp up wider use of this innovative procedure.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: W… Continue reading First successful robotic liver transplant performed in the US
There are times when hibernating would be useful, like surgery or space travel, and we’re getting closer to being able to do so on demand in humans. Scientists have now demonstrated a way to induce a hibernation-like state in mice and rats using non-in… Continue reading Ultrasound to the brain induces hibernation in mice – and maybe humans
