Ever wonder how our bodies signal trouble? Turns out, tiny molecules called malondialdehyde, or MDA, get involved. When our bodies face oxidative stress, they produce more of these molecules. Think of MDA as red flags for possible health issues. Scientists have been on the hunt for a better way
Imagine a lab where tiny cells are treated with different amounts of new drugs. Researchers check how these cells react on a spinning disk. Scientists need to find out how these drug concentrations affect the cells. A spinning device creates this environment swiftly. Usually, this happens by hand, t
Imagine this: games helping people with intellectual disabilities deal with bowel issues. It might sound tricky! But here is what we know. In the UK, about 2% of the people have an intellectual disability. One-third of them have problems with their bowels, like constipation or faecal incontinence. T
Kidney organs made in labs could be a game-changer for people with kidney diseases. Think about it— having a new kidney grown just for you, no waiting lists or ethical dilemmas. This could be the future, but we're not there yet. Scientists are working hard to make these lab-made kidneys work just li
In his first international trip as vice president, JD Vance attended the 2025 Artificial Intelligence Action Summit in Paris, France. This summit was a major event, bringing together almost 100 countries and over a thousand representatives from various sectors. The conference aimed to discu
Understanding why some people thrive with health while others struggle is complicated. We know money is important but does that even the playing field? Money and stable housing matter because they take up a lot of the factors that affect health between 30% to 60% of the time! The reason researchers
The role of electronic health records (EHRs) in healthcare isn't always smooth sailing. For doctors in ICUs, managing these digital files can be a nightmare. The sheer volume of data is overwhelming. We're talking about vital signs, test results, medications, and notes—all getting piled onto the pa
Organ transport these days is a lot different than it used to be. For most of history, organs were kept on ice during transit before transplant. But that's not the case anymore. Imagine this: a kidney being pumped with a nutrient-rich solution, tracking its journey to the recipient. Now imagine tha
Scientists are always looking for better ways to study proteins. One common method is using a His-tag, a small piece of protein that helps scientists grab and study their target protein. Usually, scientists use antibodies to find and study these His-tagged proteins, but this can be really expensive.
Preparing for major surgery can be a real challenge, especially for older folks and those not in the best shape. Imagine trying to run a race but without proper training. You know it will be tough and you might get injured. The same goes for big operations. People often end up with complications and
