Materials scientists at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney have shown that human pluripotent stem cells in a lab can initiate a process resembling the gastrulation phase — where cells begin differentiating into new cell types — much earlier than occurs in mother nature. For an embryo developing in the womb, gastrulation occurs ...
Most athletes and runners are in their 30s and younger. However, it is not entirely uncommon to find athletes setting records even in their 40s. However, there exist some rare individuals who set new benchmarks for others in fitness and agility even in their golden years. One of them is marathon runner Yugeta Mariko. ...
This is a case about healing without medicine. When I was in college, one of my male classmates was very skinny and weak, and he had poor health throughout the year. He took medicine almost every day. One day, he felt very uncomfortable and asked me to accompany him to the hospital. We registered at ...
A right-handed or left-handed person has the tendency to be more skilled and comfortable using one hand instead of the other for tasks such as writing and throwing a ball. As children grow older, they tend to favor one hand over the other for certain tasks, particularly for writing or drawing. A child’s “handedness” is ...
After gaining world attention by “unboiling” egg protein, Flinders University scientists have now used an Australian-made novel thin film microfluidic device to manipulate Beta-lactoglobulin (β-lactoglobulin), the major whey milk protein in cows, sheep, and other mammal milk. The so-called Vortex Fluidic Device (VFD) has previously been used in an array of experiments to successfully “unboil” ...
Creating “super soldiers” of specific immune cells to boost an anti-tumor response against cancer has been shown in a series of elegant experiments by researchers at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. Research led by Ph.D. candidate Helen Loo Yau, Post-doctoral Fellow Dr. Emma Bell, and Senior Scientist Dr. Daniel D. De Carvalho describes a DNA modifying ...
A team of scientists, including two physicists at the University of Sussex, has found a way to circumvent a 178-year-old theory, which means they can effectively cancel magnetic fields at a distance. They are the first to be able to do so in a way that has practical benefits. The work is hoped to have ...
The average human lifespan is believed to be around 80 years. Some do live longer, with most of these people succumbing to death by the age of 120 or so. What if we could live even longer, say up to 500 years? A recent scientific discovery has opened up this very possibility. Pathways of increasing ...
In the great nature vs. nurture debate, nature just got a win. UCI research led by Amal Alachkar found that too much of a certain amino acid in utero caused schizophrenia in mice despite the quality of postpartum caregiving — and the study suggests that the same would be true with humans. The team plans to ...
As deaths from CCP coronavirus infections keep rising, people are desperately seeking alternative solutions. One remedy that has attracted the attention of many is traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In fact, some places in China that have been affected severely by the virus have resorted to treatment solutions recommended through TCM. Traditional Chinese medicine effects A ...
