A new set of studies by scientists at the Vlaams Instituut voor Biotechnologie (VIB), Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and KU Leuven has uncovered how minute molecular changes can dramatically alter the way the body processes pain and responds to certain epilepsy drugs. Published in the journal Nature Communications, the research focuses on the TRPM3 ion […]
Instead of sitting in a tattoo chair for hours enduring painful punctures, imagine getting tattooed by a skin patch containing microscopic needles. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed low-cost, painless, and bloodless tattoos that can be self-administered and have many applications, from medical alerts to tracking neutered animals to cosmetics. “We’ve miniaturized […]
A latest study has shown that not only adults but children who suffered from Covid-19 are prone to risk of cognitive deficit, insomnia, ischaemic stroke, nerve or psychotic disorders and epilepsy or seizures months later. The post-Covid risk trajectories differed in children compared with adults, said the team of researchers at the University of Oxford. […]
Researchers have identified a unique way to detect epileptic brain tissue that causes seizures. The chemical biomarker can be detected noninvasively using a technique called magnetic resonance spectroscopy to help doctors to precisely identify small regions of abnormal brain tissue in early-stage epilepsy patients. This can help in surgery of epileptic brain regions for therapeutic […]
