Scientists have managed to prevent the rejection of a pig kidney transplanted into a human donor. The organ continued to function for 61 days in a 57-year-old brain-dead man in the United States — the longest a genetically engineered pig organ has ever lasted in a brain-dead human. In two studies published today in Nature, […]

Raising a child is anything but easy, particularly during the early years when parents encounter ongoing challenges. However, a survey by the American website Today.com found that for many women, their husbands—not their children—are the primary source of stress. Among the 7,000 mothers surveyed, the average stress level was 8.5 out of 10. Notably, 46%

This advancement could pave the way for techniques to reduce visible aging and produce synthetic skin for transplantation. It is tied to the ambitious Human Cell Atlas initiative, which aims to map the formation of every part of the human body. Spearheaded by researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute in the UK, the project explores
Scientists Have Grown Human Skin in The Lab and may be Close to Stopping Aging Read More »
PDCA, a biodegradable alternative to PET, boasts superior physical properties. Researchers at Kobe University engineered E. coli bacteria to produce PDCA from glucose at unprecedented levels without generating byproducts, opening new avenues in bioengineering. While the durability of plastics has driven their widespread use, it also contributes to environmental problems. Most plastics are petroleum-based, making

The NaviCam, developed by the U.S.-based company AnXRobotica, is a pill-sized endoscopic capsule designed to examine the stomach and intestines without the need for sedation. Guided magnetically by an external operator and enhanced with artificial intelligence, it moves through the digestive tract while transmitting live video. Inside the capsule are a camera, integrated light source,

A genetically engineered pig lung functioned for 216 hours inside a brain-dead human, marking the first reported attempt at a cross-species lung transplant, according to Nature Medicine. The technique, known as xenotransplantation, aims to ease the chronic shortage of donor organs. Pig organs are similar in size to human ones, but their proteins often trigger

Intelligence is a powerful asset in both life and work—and science has identified several ways to “boost” it, according to Inc.com. When asked about the key factor behind success, most high achievers point to intelligence (though research shows luck also plays a role—Bill Gates being a prime example). Science-Backed Ways to Boost Intelligence Fortunately, there

Dealing with hypersensitive teeth can be a real nuisance, causing pain when eating or drinking anything hot, cold, sweet, or acidic. Researchers are now developing tiny “robots” that actively seal the microscopic channels in teeth, offering lasting relief from sensitivity. Building on earlier work, CeNSE scientists are developing “CalBots”—400-nanometer magnetic nanoparticles infused with a calcium-silicate

A study published on July 7 in PNAS introduced a groundbreaking invention: an “artificial tongue” made from ultrathin graphene oxide membranes that can detect and process tastes directly in liquids, similar to human taste buds. This remarkable technological breakthrough merges sensory detection with learning abilities, marking a first for electronic devices. Graphene Oxide Layers Enable
