Computer Kidney Sheds New Light on Appropriate Hydration

Computer Kidney

Ā  New research combines programing and mathematics to understand the functioning of mammal kidneys. The researchers working on this task want to determine how water intake influence’s health of kidneys. More precisely, their research interest is in how specific medication intake and insufficient water consumption influence their functioning. The results of this study show us […]

Light May Play a Key Role in Regenerative Medicine

Ā  New research on the regenerative capabilities of light may change our approach to tissue regeneration. Researchers are calling this a new technique for regenerative medicine optogenetics. Optoceutics is a technique that uses a light beam to stimulate tissue regeneration. Furthermore, scientists believe that such a stimulus is better than the previous use of electrodes […]

Exposure to Pesticides May Increase the Risk of Heart Disease

Heart Disease

Ā  Findings from the study propose that exposure to pesticides causes heart disease. The study group consists of Japanese men that live in Hawaii. Furthermore, the total sample consists of 8,000 men, that are between 45 and 68 years. After examining the data scientists conclude that workers that are in contact with pesticides have to […]

Laser Technology Said to Improve Pre-transfusion Blood Testing

Laser Technology

Ā  A new technique for incubating blood with laser technology is on the way. This new technique is said to slash the incubation time to only 40 seconds. The industrial standard is still 5 minutes. However, this might change with the introduction of this new laser technology. This innovation is important because it can help […]

Scientists are Developing a Drug Delivery Implant for HIV Treatment

HIV Treatment

Ā  New research is developing innovative ways of administering drugs into the organism. This particular research endeavor looks at how we can improve the treatment and prevention of HIV. Scientists choose to work with antiretroviral medication because of the nature of its intake. Since the medication intake is done daily and at regular intervals, this […]

Thermo-Responsive Protein Hydrogel Expected to Revolutionize Medical Treatment

Protein Hydrogel

Ā  Scientists are developing a protein-based gel substance for more effective delivery of medication. This new hydrogel is a three-dimensional polymer network. Because of this, the gel reacts to chemical and physical stimuli like temperature and acidity. As a result, the substance can transform reversibly from solution to gel depending on its surrounding. This invention […]

Cancer Cells Prefer a Safe Pathway with the Least Resistance

Cancer Cells

Ā  Even though cancer spreads quickly it is lazy in its choice of the migration route. According to a new study migrating cancer cells prefer paths of least resistance. Such cellular behavior is not just a characteristic of cancer cells. Other metabolic and cellular processes like wound healing and inflammation follow the same paths. The […]
