In a breakthrough that could revolutionize cancer diagnosis, UK scientists have developed micro-robots capable of performing real-time, non-invasive 3D scans to detect and diagnose colorectal cancer. Developed through a collaboration between the Universities of Leeds, Glasgow, and Edinburgh, the oloid…

Northwestern University engineers have created an ultra-tiny pacemaker that can be injected through a syringe and naturally dissolves once it is no longer needed. Designed for temporary use, particularly in newborns with congenital heart defects, the device eliminates the need…

Researchers have developed a blood test that may help diagnose Alzheimer’s disease and assess its progression in patients with memory and thinking issues, according to a study published in the journal Nature Medicine. The test detects a tau protein fragment,…

Scientists have uncovered the structure of the PINK1 protein, a key player in Parkinson’s disease, potentially paving the way for new drug treatments. Researchers at Australia’s Walter and Eliza Hall Institute have, for the first time, visualized how PINK1 binds…

A new study provides the first evidence that removing beta-amyloid plaques from the brain using a biologic drug may delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease in high-risk individuals. Researchers tested gantenerumab in people with genetic mutations that almost guarantee they…

The FAO has reported an “unprecedented” spread of the H5N1 avian flu virus, resulting in the loss of hundreds of millions of birds and increasing infections in mammals, UN website reported. Urgent action is needed to enhance biosecurity, surveillance, and…

Researchers at the University of Delaware have uncovered critical genes that could revolutionize obesity treatment, SciTech Daily reported. Their study, published in Physiological Genomics, reveals significant differences in gene expression between harmful visceral fat and less harmful subcutaneous fat. Led…

A recent study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden has raised alarms about the potential effects of fluoride in drinking water on brain development, particularly during pregnancy and early childhood, Earth.com reported. While fluoride has been added to public water systems…

Scientists at Newcastle University have developed a groundbreaking 3D bio-printer that can create human-like tissue, potentially revolutionizing drug discovery and regenerative medicine. The ReJI printer, developed with funding from Versus Arthritis, uses Reactive Jet Impingement (ReJI) bioprinting to mix cell-filled…
