Bioactive glass laced with toxic metal shows promise in treating bone cancerDepositphotos New Treatment for Bone Cancer Shows Promise Scientists have revealed a potential new treatment for bone cancer. A bioactive glass infused with a toxic metal was able to kill up to 99% of cancer cells without harming healthy ones, and it could even help...
Manuka honey, produced from nectar from the mānuka tree, has potent anticancer propertiesDepositphotos Preliminary studies indicate that Manuka honey can decrease breast cancer cell growth by 84% while sparing healthy cells and causing minimal side effects. This suggests potential for developing a natural, non-toxic cancer treatment, either as a supplement or a standalone therapy. Nutraceuticals—essentially a...
The self-powered aquatic robot skims on the water's surface like a water striderBinghamton University Researchers have created prototype robot bugs equipped with sensors that replicate biological digestive systems to generate energy, use a Janus interface for a continuous nutrient supply, and glide across water like water striders. In 2017, DARPA introduced a program to develop and...

Researchers have tested a novel drug therapy in diabetic mice and observed a remarkable 700% increase in insulin-producing cells over three months, effectively reversing the disease Breakthrough in Insulin-Producing Cell Regeneration In diabetes, the body's destruction or damage to beta cells in...
Credit: Pixabay The significant stress of childbirth affects various aspects of the body. However, despite acknowledging the health toll of parenthood, there isn't a universal standard for quantifying the biological toll on a mother during pregnancy. A recent study led by Yale University researchers sheds light on the mechanisms underlying cellular aging during and after pregnancy. Childbirth's...
A microbial fuel cell buried in soil and generating powerBill Yen/Northwestern University A groundbreaking innovation from Northwestern University showcases a compact device capable of producing electricity by harnessing the power generated as microbes decompose soil, as long as there is carbon present. This device, about the size of a paperback book, operates on microbial fuel...
A clinical trial will investigate the use of nose cartilage to regenerate knee joints severely worn by osteoarthritisDepositphotos Researchers, having previously demonstrated that a small amount of nasal cartilage can repair knee injuries, are now prepared to initiate a clinical trial to investigate its potential in regenerating severely worn-down joints affected by osteoarthritis. Successful outcomes...

Advancements in Solar Cell Technology Solar...
A bowl of beef-rice, created by a team of Korean scientistsYonsei University In an innovative endeavor that may evoke varying reactions, Korean researchers have extracted muscle and fat stem cells from cows and introduced them into rice grains. This pioneering process yields a novel, high-protein food source that promises affordability, environmental sustainability, and applicability in...
A new molecule called A485 has been found to boost levels of white blood cells, which can help clear out infectionsDepositphotos White blood cells play a crucial role as immune system defenders, but their levels can be diminished by health conditions or treatments such as chemotherapy. Researchers at Yale have identified a molecule that, when...
