Scientists working to bioengineer the entire human gastrointestinal system in a laboratory now report using pluripotent stem cells to grow human esophageal organoids. Published in the journal Cell Stem Cell the study is the latest advancement from researchers at the Cincinnati Children’s Center for Stem Cell and Organoid Medicine (CuSTOM). The center is developing new […]
Evie Walker sits on Alison’s lap, playing a game she never grows tired of: turning her mum’s hand over and over, stroking and examining it. When she takes a break and looks around, it is with the open-mouthed look of curiosity and awe that you see in many infants. Evie’s vocabulary currently consists of a […]

But a team of Rutgers and other scientists has discovered a technology that rapidly assesses potentially lifesaving antibiotics by using bacteria in saliva from an East Siberian brown bear. The technology involves […]

Hangovers slow your brain down by lowering its electrical activity Hangovers DO slow your brain down by lowering its electrical activity, say scientists who recommend taking a day off and ‘avoiding big decisions’ after a heavy night Study finds alcohol hangovers hampers learning and reward processing in brain University of Victoria analysed 62 subjects – […]
Scientists in Japan have found a potential marker to identify which people with abnormally fast heartbeats are at high risk of developing heart failure. The results were published in June in Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine, a journal from the American Heart Association. Atrial fibrillation, or chronically, abnormally fast heartbeat, can be a symptom of […]
Lately, more and more scientists are becoming interested in insects. They, as well as nutrition-curious people, are asking whether we might be missing a trick by not enriching our diets with a handful of ants, or a cricket or two. A study published earlier this year found that insects are no harder to digest than […]
