Eardrum perforations can cause pain in addition to hearing loss and are difficult to repair. The PhonoGraft is a 3D-printed implant created by Harvard scientists that may cure harm by stimulating natural cell renewal. It is presently available for sale. The eardrum, or tympanic the membrane itself, is a thin, round segment of tissue that...
Plans to measure the impact of historical research as if it were a science will undoubtedly mean fewer history books that delight the general reader. The kind of history books that delight most readers probably incorporate original research with elegant, easily accessible prose: possibly a book such as Christopher Clark’s The Sleepwalkers or Lyndal Roper’s...
A human embryo in the lab at 9 days after fertilisation. The hypoblast (a group of cells outside the main embryo) sends a message to the embryo that initiates the development of the head-to-tail body axis. Using immunofluorescence analysis, the hypoblast is shown in green – these cells are asymmetrically distributed. A cavity is...
The School of Athens (1509–1511) by Raphael To this day, most of the Western way of thinking stems from the philosophical explorations of three men of Ancient Greece. Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. No question you have heard of these philosophers. According to Hannah Fieldings, Award-Winning Romance Novelist, she started to investigate for her latest novel, Aphrodite's Tears, placed...
Credit: Getty Images Research led by scientists at the University of Toronto highlights the considerable damages that can be triggered by common teeth-whitening agents. Published just recently in Nature Scientific Reports, the study assessed the dental cell damage caused by carbamide peroxide teeth-whitening remedies. It found that a suggested application of only 10 percent carbamide peroxide gel...
Via SmilesDrs.com Regenerative Dentistry Breakthrough Researchers at King's College London have developed a biological therapy that could revolutionize the way damaged teeth are treated. The therapy, which involves the use of a small molecule drug called Tideglusib, has been shown to stimulate the stem cells inside teeth, encouraging them to regenerate damaged tissue. Tooth decay and trauma...
Holstein cows in the pasture. Credit: tilo/iStock A study from the University of Kent, the University of Nottingham, and L'Alliance Boviteq Inc. has created an approach of dramatically boosting in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in cattle. This advancement is bound to substantially decrease maternity problems in cows, raise general meat and milk production, and convert a channel for...
The ignition of plasma under water. Credit: © Damian Gorczany Physicists of Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) have taken amazing pictures that allow the ignition process of plasma underwater to be observed and also tracked in real-time. Dr. Katharina Grosse has given the first data collections with the ultra-high temporal resolution, backing a new theory on igniting...
Amyloid plaques are aggregates of misfolded proteins that form in the spaces between nerve cells. Credit: Juan Gaertner New photo-oxygenation catalyst targets amyloid structure, enlists brain immune system cells. A small, light-activated molecule lately evaluated in mice corresponds to a brand-new strategy to eliminating clumps of amyloid protein located in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients....
Although cats have lived together with humans for millennia, it remains a dogs world. This predisposition has traditionally bled right into science also. It is time for cats to get their day, suggests veterinary medicine expert Leslie Lyons in a Forum published July 28 in the journal Trends in Genetics. Cats, she says, have...
