Scientists unravel a 30-year-old mystery behind inflammatory bowel disease

Health, Medicine /

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a painful condition affecting the digestive system. Scientists have spent decades trying to understand its underlying causes in order to improve treatments for these chronic and often debilitating disorders. A recent study now marks a major breakthrough. Researchers from the UK and Denmark have resolved a 30-year-old question: why is […]

Robots can mix drinks and run marathons but still struggle to multitask

Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Tech /

They can mix cocktails, run marathons, and fold laundry, but despite marketing claims, humanoid robots are still far from reliably handling many different tasks on demand. The difference was clear at the Robotics Summit in Boston in late May, where glossy marketing materials told one story while the engineers building the robots described another reality.

A little-known dental condition could be impacting millions of children

Dentistry, Healthcare /

A child’s small, pale, chalk-white baby teeth fall out and are replaced by yellow-brown, fragile teeth, often catching parents by surprise. This dental condition, known as molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH), is nearly as common as tooth decay, yet it remains largely unfamiliar outside dentistry and is sometimes misdiagnosed even by professionals. MIH affects the development

Japanese researchers developed an enhanced vitamin K that helps repair damaged neurons

Healthcare, Medicine /

Scientists at Japan’s Shibaura Institute of Technology developed vitamin K–based compounds that are up to three times more effective at converting neural stem cells into mature neurons, potentially enabling regenerative treatments for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s. Phylloquinone (vitamin K1) and menaquinones (vitamin K2, such as MK-4 and MK-7) are best described
