Josiah Zayner is the first individual known to have modified his personal DNA and he revealed the planet just how easy it is to do, live-streaming the process on his blog, “Science, Art, Beauty”. Zayner claims this was the second time he has genetically changed himself. Utilizing CRISPR, a fairly new gene-editing method, he took […]

Our intestine is residence to plenty of bacteria, which help us digest food. However, just what do the microorganisms do inside the body? Which enzymes do they create, and when? And how do the bacteria metabolize health-promoting foods that aid us in minimizing disease? To obtain replies to such matters, researchers at the Department of

Technology experts develop groundbreaking energy-generating fabrics that can generate electricity by seizing energy from body movements. Clothing that can examine our health, communicate information, and produce electricity might soon be accessible to everyone because of a new study performed by scientists at Loughborough University. Dr. Ishara Dharmasena of the School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering (MEME), in cooperation

Study reveals that the speed of cognitive information processing stays exceptionally stable over decades Mental speed– the speed at which we can manage problems needing quick decision-making– does not change significantly over the years. Psychologists at Heidelberg University came to this conclusion under the leadership of Dr. Mischa von Krause and Dr. Stefan Radev. They

An autonomously swimming biohybrid fish, designed to emphasize two crucial regulatory functions of the human heart, has shown the relevance of feedback mechanisms in muscle pumps (such as the heart). The discoveries can one day help inform the development of an artificial heart developed from living muscle cells. Autonomously swimming biohybrid fish Biohybrid systems– devices
On February 9, the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) published the Clinical Practice Guideline: Tympanostomy Tubes in Children (Update) in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery. Tympanostomy tubes, also called ear tubes, effectively lower or eliminate middle ear infections and eliminate persistent middle ear fluid and hearing loss related to middle ear fluid.

If you or somebody you know experiences feelings of anxiety, mood swings, mild depression, panic attacks, or obsessive thoughts, this article could be what you have been searching for. Any dysfunctional mental state often results from a brain trapped in the beta state of brainwave activity. We associate this state with overthinking, rumination, negativity bias,
Scientists at the UAB and the UniZar have detected a human peptide located in the brain that prevents the α-synuclein aggregates associated with Parkinson’s disease and helps prevent their neurotoxicity. The research released in Nature Communications suggests that this may be one of the organism’s natural systems to combat aggregation. The learning might help establish

We’ve caught a glimpse of robotic surgery’s potential future, and it’s not much bigger than a bread box. The miniaturized in vivo robotic assistant (MIRA), which weighs less than two pounds and is roughly the proportions of a human hand, can be inserted into a patient’s belly through a single 2.5–3 cm umbilical incision. The
