Lab-Grown Teeth Are Closer to Reality, Scientists Say

Dentistry, Healthcare /

The concept of growing teeth in a lab might sound like something out of a horror movie, but it could actually have a practical, non-terrifying use—replacing cavities and damaged teeth. New research brings us one step closer to making this a reality. Researchers from King’s College London and Imperial College London have developed a hydrogel

Experts Caution Vapers About the Risk of Developing the Irreversible Condition Popcorn Lung

Healthcare, Medicine /

A U.S. teen reportedly developed the unusually named condition “popcorn lung” after secretly vaping for three years. Popcorn lung, medically termed bronchiolitis obliterans, is a rare yet severe and irreversible lung disease that harms the small airways, causing ongoing coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and fatigue. The term “popcorn lung” originated in the early 2000s after

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.
