A recent preclinical trial using mice reveals that the precancerous cells of the pancreas can be disposed before they can develop into a tumor. Application of an experimental therapy to attack microscopic precancerous lesions in the pancreas was shown to increase survival in mouse models of a pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) by nearly 2 times […]
The daily habits of an animal may indicate their lifespan by the age of the midlife stage. It is the disturbing end of a new study backed by the Knight Initiative of Brain Resilience at the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute of Stanford where researchers placed scores of short-lived fish inside continuous, lifelong surveillance to investigate […]
A new magnetorheological fluid-based soft robot created by the researchers includes reversible t robot with reversible gastrointestinal tract medical applications. Millions of people around the world are infected with gastrointestinal tract diseases and the conventional drug delivery system lacks high targeting capacity with chances of side effects of systemic drug delivery. The development of magnetic […]
This is another reason I love Japanese popular matcha: a mouse study states that the green tea powder might decrease the necessity to sneeze in persons with nasal allergies. Matcha is a clear green powder created by the dried and grounded leaves of green tea, which have been particularly grown. It is consumed as a […]
The narrower the difference between your biological age and actual age the lower the risk of a stroke and the health of your brain. The study involved 250,000 people. The scientists measured the level of 18 biomarkers in their blood to obtain their biological age. Brain scans were also done to a section of individuals. […]
Scientists have found out that non-psychoactive cannabis substances, CBD and CBG, can help to reduce liver fat significantly and improve metabolic health. The researchers have found out that these compounds act by establishing a buffer of energy in the liver and by the re-activation of the cleaning crews inside the cells to clear undesirable waste […]
The results of these researchers in Jacksonville, Fla., are that a drug-and-supplement combination therapy can be used to lessen the harmful effects of senescent cells, or, to be more exact, zombie cells, in diabetic kidney disease. In an article published by the Lancet, the team has found that the combination of the cancer drug dasatanib […]
A large number of teenagers who have some weight problem are resorting to AI models as they seek to design meal plans in a bid to lose weight. A new study, however, indicates that the plans that are a result of this could not, at least in all cases, cover the required nutrients and calorie […]
A recent study conducted by scientists working in Adelaide University and published in the journal Science Advances has shown the reason as to why certain cancers may grow and survive the body, whereas others do not. It happens that the hard mechanical stress to which the early cancer cells undergo as they are squeezed into a […]
The psychoactive substance of magic mushrooms, psilocybin, is under scientific scrutiny as being useful in the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, substance use disorder and some neurodegenerative diseases. It can be limited to broader therapeutic uses, however, by the hallucinogenic effects. A study on the effects of psilocin, the active compound in […]
A group of researchers at the Texas Children Neurological Research Institute (NRI), Duncan, Baylor College of Medicine, found a possible new therapy to cure Rett syndrome has been reported in the Science Translational Medicine journal, with the early signs of success in a neurodevelopmental disorder with no cure yet. According to the corresponding author, Dr. […]
A large number of the most important proteins of modern medicine and science are insoluble. These comprise a host of signalling proteins and protein hormones, and all of the receptors embedded in the cell membranes, which are directed at approximately 60 percent of the active ingredients presently utilized in medicines. When the concentration of these […]
WHO confirmed that two cases of the recombinant strain – combining genomic elements of clades Ib and IIb of the monkeypox virus (MPXV) – have been identified to date: one in the United Kingdom and one in India. Both patients had recent travel histories, and neither experienced severe illness. No secondary cases were detected following […]
WHO Rejects US Criticism, Defends Pandemic Response And Calls For Continued Cooperation The World Health Organization has strongly rejected criticism from the United States administration, defending its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and reaffirming its commitment to global cooperation on public health.

Speaking on World Suicide Prevention Day, which is marked annually on 10 September, WHO’s Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that “each life lost leaves a profound impact on families, friends, colleagues and entire communities.” All age groups are affected by suicide and was the third leading cause of death among 15–29-year-olds globally in 2021, the last year for […]
One in 10 children aged 5 to 19 – 188 million worldwide – are now living with obesity, placing them at heightened risk of chronic diseases such as type-2 diabetes, heart conditions, and certain cancers. “When we talk about malnutrition, we are no longer just talking about underweight children,” said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine Russell. […]
Disorders such as anxiety and depression are exacting a heavy toll on individuals, families and economies, yet most countries are failing to provide adequate support. Mental health problems are widespread across every society and age group and remain the second leading cause of long-term disability. They drive up healthcare costs for families and governments while […]
