Life and health sciences made some major leaps in 2023 with the introduction of new medication and drug trials. It was a year of introducing new technology, and announcements and some notable research was published. We started covering news in May 2023 and have published over 38 news reports in […]
Osmosis is fundamentally the process of water molecules moving through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration.
The biconcave disc shape of red blood cells is one of its most distinguishing characteristics.
An approval which can transform the treatment technology for β-thalassemia and sickle-cell disease
The bacteria Salmonella is considered as a major cause of the food borne illnesses
A University of Alberta team has developed a new step to improve the process for creating insulin-producing pancreatic cells from a patient’s own stem cells, bringing the prospect of injection-free treatment closer for people with diabetes.
Washington State University has developed a new technology for the development of cells using a bioreactor for cancer therapy. this technique develops cancer-detecting white blood cells (WBC) which supports immunotherapy.
Researchers at Washington State University have created a bioreactor the size of a minifridge that can produce T cells at 95% of their maximal development rate, which is around 30% quicker than what is possible with existing technology. They developed it using T cells from cattle. They expect it will function similarly on human cells.
Russel’s Viper is highly venomous and possesses hemotoxic venom (RVV – Russel’s Viper Venom) which is highly lethal. A small jab with the fangs can transfer a large amount of venom, which can cause coagulopathies, internal bleeding, tissue damage (necrosis), and acute kidney injury.
With the advancement of stem cell technology and 3D printing, researchers at the University of Oxford developed a 3D printing method for the purpose of repairing brain injuries. It was initially tested in mouse brain fragments, to this the implant was attached. These implants then got integrated with the mouse brain fragments. This newly developed technology can be used for curing lethal brain injuries.
A paternity test using DNA is the legitimate method to identify a person’s biological father. It is a widely accepted method by law for clearing paternity disputes. These tests can be done with any biological material containing DNA, but preferably blood tests and swab tests are generally used. Technically this method can also able to determine the father of an unborn baby.
