Super Stem Cells Enhance Capabilities by Changing Diet

Biology, Cell Biology /

A recent University of Copenhagen study created stem cells that are better at transforming into other cell types by altering their diet. These enhanced stem cells outperform regular ones in generating specialized cells like liver, skin, or nerve cells. The study, titled “Altering metabolism programs cell identity via NAD+-dependent deacetylation,” appears in The EMBO Journal.

Smart Brain Implants Now Self-Adjust for Better Parkinson’s Treatment

Healthcare, Medicine /

Despite being our most complex organ, the brain has traditionally been treated using fairly straightforward methods. In most cases, surgeons would intentionally damage a specific structure or pathway in the brain, hoping that this would “fix the imbalance” responsible for the disorder. The areas chosen for these procedures were often identified through trial and error,

Wearable Device for Emotion Detection Works Like a Mood Ring for the Face

Medicine, Tech /

It’s common for patients to conceal their true feelings, either from their caregivers or even themselves. A new experimental facial “sticker” aims to help with this by detecting and transmitting information about the wearer’s emotional state. Sensors Measure Key Physiological Data to Track Emotions Developed by Assoc. Prof. Huanyu “Larry” Cheng and his team at

Gold Injections in the Eye Could Be the Key to Preserving Vision

Healthcare, Medicine, Science /

The idea of injecting gold particles into the eyes may sound unconventional, but a new study conducted on mice in the United States suggests this technique could hold promise for treating age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and other degenerative eye conditions. Understanding the Scope of AMD AMD impacts millions around the world and becomes increasingly common

Laser Exposure Unlocks a Previously Unseen Color for Humans

Biology, Biotechnology, Tech /

Just when we think we’ve experienced the full spectrum of visible color, scientists have reportedly discovered a way to reveal a brand-new hue to the human eye — a color that’s never before been perceived. They’ve named it Olo. Before diving into the details, it’s worth noting how participants in the study described this color:

Innovative Supplement Offers New Hope for Malnourished Beehives

Earth Science, Environmental Science, Science /

Beekeepers across various regions are facing growing challenges as their honeybee colonies struggle to gather enough pollen to stay healthy. To help combat this issue, researchers have developed a new dietary supplement being likened to “a PowerBar for bees.” The Pollen Shortage Problem Under normal conditions, honeybees in managed hives rely on pollen collected from

Brown Rice Has More Arsenic – But It’s Still Worth Eating

Agriculture, Food, Healthcare /

A recent study in the US confirms that brown rice has higher levels of arsenic compared to white rice. Understandably, this might raise some eyebrows — arsenic is a well-known toxic element. However, the concentrations found in brown rice are far below any threshold that would pose a danger to human health. And just like
