Gene Editing Nears an End to Daily Cholesterol Meds

Healthcare, Medicine /

A new one-time CRISPR treatment targeting “bad” cholesterol will enter Phase I human trials. If it works, it could become the first approved gene-silencing therapy, removing the need for lifelong drugs and significantly cutting cardiovascular risk. Strong expectations surround Scribe Therapeutics’ STX-1150, a US-developed therapy that lowers LDL (“bad”) cholesterol by epigenetically silencing the PCSK9 […]

Brain Scans May Assist in Regaining Movement After Paralysis

Healthcare, Medicine, Neuroscience /

A brain cap paired with intelligent algorithms could potentially allow paralyzed patients to translate their thoughts into movement—without the need for surgery. Individuals with spinal cord injuries frequently lose partial or full movement in their arms or legs. Often, the nerves in the limbs remain functional, and the brain still generates normal signals. The issue

Can Glass Replace Bone? Chinese Scientists 3D-Print Bone-like Bioglass

Healthcare, Medicine /

Chinese researchers have developed 3D-printed bioglass that matches bone strength, supports cell survival for weeks, and could transform customized dental implants. Glass is rarely thought of as a replacement for human bone, but Chinese scientists suggest it may be possible. They have created a bioactive, 3D-printable glass that replicates bone strength. Tests showed it supports

Poor Tooth Health May Be a Warning Sign for Early Mortality, Researchers Say

Dentistry, Healthcare /

Growing research suggests that tooth loss may be a warning sign of a higher risk of premature death, and recent findings indicate that the health of the remaining teeth also plays an important role. Researchers from the University of Osaka in Japan analyzed medical and dental data from 190,282 adults aged 75 and older. Each

Dental Braces Have a More Modern History Than People Once Thought

Dentistry, Healthcare /

Ancient Egyptians and Etruscans are often credited with pioneering orthodontics, reportedly using fine gold wires and catgut to straighten teeth—a story that has long appeared in dental textbooks, suggesting our ancestors were surprisingly advanced in seeking the perfect smile. However, when archaeologists and dental historians examined the evidence closely, they found that much of this
