A self-powered microneedle patch monitors health biomarkers in interstitial fluid (ISF) without batteries, offering a painless alternative to blood tests. ISF sampling using microneedle technology.
Scientists develop 'skin in a syringe' – a hydrogel with live cells for direct wound application and 3D-printed skin grafts. Combines fibroblasts, gelatin beads, and hyaluronic acid for dermis regeneration.
Bloomberg reporters expose how people unknowingly enrolled in health insurance through fake jobs, facing denied claims and huge bills. Unregulated plans leave consumers vulnerable. Affordable Care Act impacts.
Research explores lipoedema, a painful condition causing fat build-up. Low-carb diets show promise for pain relief and weight loss. Compression garments provide relief. More research is needed for effective treatment.
Blocking macropinocytosis, a nutrient-scavenging process used by pancreatic cancer (PDAC) cells, reshapes the tumor microenvironment, enhancing immunotherapy and radiation effectiveness. This improves drug delivery and immune cell access.
Alzheimer's research is at a critical point with initial therapies emerging, but more efficient drugs are needed. Research focuses on early treatments, inflammation's role, and overcoming funding challenges. Biomarkers are vital.
Australian skinks evolved resistance to snake venom via muscle receptor alterations, mirroring adaptations in mongooses. This showcases adaptability and offers potential for novel antivenoms and treatments.
The EveryStep app, developed using a scientific Delphi Agreement, helps patients prepare for and benefit from talking therapy (CBT) by providing daily tasks, videos, and podcasts. Aims to reduce high dropout rates.
Bee's story: food allergies (cheese, wheat) & MCAS led her to Europe seeking relief. Dr. Rubin warns against unsupervised food challenges due to life-threatening risks. Mycotoxins impact.
Researchers identify cancer drugs (Letrozole, Irinotecan) that may reverse Alzheimer's brain changes by targeting gene expression. Combination therapy shows promise in mouse model, paving way for clinical trials.
A woman bitten by a bat faces $20K in medical bills due to a lapse in health insurance. Rabies treatment costs and ACA plan limitations highlighted. COBRA option missed.
Study explores tongue coating composition for Parkinson's disease detection. Palmitoylethanolamide shows potential as a biomarker. Non-invasive tongue sampling offers a cost-effective diagnostic tool.
Scientists developed AI using genomics and computational modeling to predict cell behavior and cancer development. This enables digital twins for personalized immunotherapy and treatment strategies.
A plant virus (CPMV) shows promise as an immunotherapy against metastatic cancer in mice. It stimulates interferons and immune responses, offering a low-cost alternative for clinical trials. Cancer cells are destroyed.
Research shows saturated fat, not egg cholesterol, is the main driver of heart disease. Eating eggs with a low saturated fat diet may even lower LDL cholesterol, benefiting heart health. Nordic diet prevents disease.
Researchers identify excessive GABA production in the brain as a key driver of PTSD and a new drug, KDS2010, shows promise in reversing PTSD-like symptoms by targeting MAOB enzyme. Novel therapeutic approach.
Princeton researchers identified 4 autism subtypes using genomics, revealing distinct genetic signatures & developmental trajectories. This advances precision medicine for neurodevelopmental disorders & enables targeted support.
