Interesting research from the University of Toronto, which has a strong legacy and brand in this field. In ironic and stark contrast to the critical take linked above. “In yet another surprise attribute of the new class of obesity drugs, […]
“This breakthrough technology has the potential to revolutionize electronics by eliminating the need for chargers or portable power banks. Devices powered by these nuclear batteries could operate continuously without degradation in capacity or lifespan, unlike traditional Li-ion batteries. Imagine drones […]
“It’s plausible that this not only explains some of the differences we see in how Alzheimer’s progresses, but also signals the need to treat each variant differently, potentially explaining the high failure rate in finding successful treatments up until now.” ~ learn […]
CAR-T therapies have operational scaling challenges (see above). Maybe viral vectors can circumvent those challenges by modifying your T cells while they’re still inside a patient. “Scientists are devising ways to edit the genomes of immune cells without having to […]
Scientists invented a cancer therapy that is incredibly effective for certain cancers, but quite difficult to administer. “To make CAR-T therapies, the patient’s own T cells are extracted during a two-day process called apheresis. Manufacturers then alter the cells for […]
“We are interested in human behavior, in what makes us do things, why, and how,” said study author Noam Sobel, the director of the Weizmann Olfaction Research Group. “Within this very big picture, the smaller picture we are studying is […]
This is a wild research study that found participants’ wounds healed faster when the clock ran slower. Everybody had 28 minutes of real time. “More than a third of participants had almost completely healed by the end of the time […]
“Stanford University recruited 22 sets of identical twins who had grown up together, and who reported similar present-day lifestyles, for this eight-week meal-plan-controlled trial, in an effort to provide more robust data to support the existing body of evidence.” ~ learn more
The approach works by sampling proteins found only on the patient’s specific cancer cells and then prompting the bodies to make them to prime the immune system. “In 2022, they reported that the combo therapy reduced high-risk patients’ risk of […]
“These findings demonstrate that the magnitude and duration of the anabolic response to protein ingestion is not restricted and has previously been underestimated in vivo in humans.” ~ learn more
