When we feel mentally exhausted, our brain may be performing silent calculations that go beyond the simple sensation of tiredness. A new study using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) revealed that two specific…
A study published in Nature Communications introduces a promising innovation for treating spinal cord injuries. Scientists from the University of Auckland (New Zealand) and Chalmers University of Technology (Sweden) have developed an ultrathin…
A team of researchers has developed an innovative technique that detects aging cells without the need for dyes or chemical markers — a breakthrough that could transform both aging research and the development…
A team of Japanese researchers has developed a new kind of plastic that completely dissolves in seawater within just a few hours — a potential breakthrough in the global fight against ocean pollution…
A review published in the scientific journal Oncoscience analyzed 25 years of studies on the effects of plants native to Brazil in the fight against stomach cancer. The disease, considered one of the…
For the first time, scientists have captured images of the exact moment when cells in a mammalian embryo begin transforming into heart tissue. Using light-sheet microscopy on live mouse embryos, the team led…
Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute in London have successfully coaxed stem cells into forming fluid-filled amniotic sacs in the lab. The structures, similar in size and composition to those found in a…
What if it were possible to 3D print custom-made bones for each patient? That’s the question driving a group of researchers at the University of Waterloo in Canada, who are developing a biocompatible…
McGill University researchers, in collaboration with colleagues in Israel and Ireland, have developed AI technology that can detect patterns in gut bacteria to identify complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) with remarkable accuracy, potentially…
A team of biomedical engineers from China and the United States has developed a groundbreaking innovation that could transform medicine. An ultrathin patch, similar in appearance to a band-aid, is capable of delivering…
