Humans May Have Hidden Regenerative Powers, New Study Suggests

Researchers have successfully regenerated skeletal and connective tissue, although the new tissue was not perfectly formed. The result demonstrates a critical step forward in limb regeneration. For centuries, scientists have viewed the inability to regrow lost body parts as a major biological limit for humans and other mammals. Salamanders and some other animals can regenerate [...]

Scientists Create Improved Insulin Cells That Reverse Diabetes in Mice

An improved stem cell method produces functional insulin cells that reverse diabetes in mice. Scientists at Karolinska Institutet and KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden have created a more reliable way to generate insulin-producing cells from human stem cells. Their findings, published in Stem Cell Reports, show that these lab-grown cells can regulate blood [...]

Flat-faced dogs can breathe easier for life with breakthrough injection

A new injection developed by researchers and an Australian biotechnology company may have a life-changing impact on an estimated nine out of 10 dogs that suffer from serious respiratory issues directly tied to their breed. It has the potential to allow these flat-faced breeds to live happier and longer lives, in a far less invasive way than existing methods.

Simple and Cheap Blood Test Could Detect Cancer and Other Diseases Before Symptoms Appear

MethylScan is a low-cost blood test that detects cancers and organ diseases by analyzing DNA methylation, improving early diagnosis, and identifying disease origin. UCLA researchers have created a simple, low-cost blood test that may be able to detect multiple cancers, liver diseases, and organ abnormalities at the same time by analyzing DNA fragments circulating in [...]

This Algae Could One Day Pull Microplastics out of Your Drinking Water

Professor Susie Dai has developed engineered algae that can remove and reuse harmful microplastics from wastewater. A researcher at the University of Missouri is developing a new approach to tackle one of the most persistent forms of pollution: microscopic plastic particles in water. Susie Dai of Mizzou has introduced a specially designed strain of algae [...]

DNA Meets Electronics: Scientists Create Ultra-Low Power Memory Breakthrough

Scientists are finding ways to merge biology with electronics, unlocking new possibilities for data storage and computing. DNA carries the genetic instructions for all living things, but it is also an extraordinarily dense way to store information. Just one gram can hold roughly 215 million gigabytes of data. If that level of storage could be [...]
