Scientist Use Light to Stimulate Insulin Production in Mice with Diabetes

  A new experiment in genetic engineering makes a potential breakthrough in the treatment of diabetes. The new treatment needs no pharmaceuticals only blue light to stimulate the pancreatic cells to produce insulin. The study results show that blood-sugar levels decrease in mice as a result of the treatment.   About the Research The research […]

New Study Shows Aspirin May Reduce Intracranial Aneurysm Growth

  New research shows that aspirin intake inhibits the growth of brain aneurysms and by doing so prevents their rupture.   The Aneurism In essence, an aneurysm is an irregular bulge or balloon that appears on the blood vessel. They can emerge all through the body for various reasons. An intracranial aneurysm (IA) is the […]

MIT Scientists Develop a New Carbon Dioxide Filter

  MIT engineers made a new battery for carbon dioxide filtering. Their new filter is innovative because it can filter air with a low concentration of carbon dioxide. The new method may transform the extent of carbon emissions on the micro and macro level.   The Development of the Carbon Dioxide Filter A group of […]

New Research Finds Key Mechanism in Opioid Addiction

  Scientists identify molecular processes that may play a role in the development of addiction to opioid substances. For this study researchers use a new imaging procedure that helps monitor the brain during exposure to opioids. With insight from this study, we may have a better chance of understanding and treating addiction.   About the […]

A Questionnaire May Help Determine if Preeclampsia Can Develop

  Scientists from Australia develop a new method for determining if women are prone to Preeclampsia. This medical condition is potentially dangerous for both the fetus and the mother if left without treatment. The research team working on this task develop an easy and inexpensive method for testing.   About the Research Researchers working on […]

Resistance to Antibiotics Doubles in Twenty Years

Results from a new study purpose that the bacterial resistance to antibiotics is increasing. The extent of resistance differs from country to country. This is made obvious through the analysis of 1,232 patients from 18 European countries. If the increase in antibiotics resistance continues the side effects can be potentially devastating for the general population. […]

Chronic Rhinosinusitis May Soon be Treatable with Medication

  Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a condition treatable only with the aid of surgery. However, new medical research explores treatment through the use of medication. This condition is also known as the “asthma of the sinuses”. CRS is an inflammatory process that affects the nasal and sinus mucous membrane. Furthermore, it often occurs together with […]

New Blood Test Moves “Silent Killer” Research Forward

  The “silent killer” is a condition notorious for taking away Albert Einstein’s life. Aside from him, it affects 1% of the world population and it is common among men who are 65+. The disease influences the health of blood vessels, more specifically the aorta. The name of the condition is an abdominal aortic aneurysm. […]

New Protein-Painting Technology Exposes How Cancer Cells Function

  New research discovers the location where two proteins combine to protect cancer cells from the immune system. This breakthrough is possible because of innovative protein-painting technology. Also, this novel approach may change the treatment of cancer. However, further research needs to be done before any exact claims can be made.   About the Research […]
