Pinching, spray skin to repair wounds and burns
It's a new paradigm: doctors can abandon gauze and bandages, instantly acting directly on the skin to repair wounds and burns.
Mini dialysis is reality: developed in Japan
During a disaster, the first things to be cut off are electricity and water: elements that mini dialysis can consume little and for two weeks.
Urolithin A, first results of human tests for the substance that reverses cellular aging
After the results of the 2016 animal tests, the results on humans also arrive from the revolutionary translational science applied to the study of Urolithin A (a metabolite obtained from pomegranate) on cellular and mitochondrial health: they were published in Nature Metabolism
Are you looking for a job with AI? Here are 4 new professional figures
Artificial intelligence will eliminate a sea of human jobs, but new multidisciplinary professional figures will emerge. Here are 4 jobs that will be strong in the AI era
The first drug in the world that can block Parkinson's
A new therapy showing the ability to stop Parkinson's disease will begin clinical trials on humans in just 6 months.
Danish algorithm predicts the survival rate of ICU patients
Determining the best treatment for each critically ill patient is a major challenge, and existing methods can be greatly improved with the use of AI and machine learning.
Forget the foam: the “liquid” helmet mimics the brain to protect the head.
One company has created helmets with small "air chambers" placed inside the helmet and filled with a thick liquid like oil that mimics the dynamics of cerebrospinal fluids.
5 revolutions that will change transport over the next 5 years
Here are the 5 transport revolutions that we will see from 2019 to 2024, between vehicles of all sorts and completely redesigned services will change the concept of travel.
Investigated the researcher who shared genetic experiments on himself
The investigation for illegal practice of the medical profession could have implications for all those who do "biohacking", the practice of altering one's body with implants or frontier medical treatments.
Step forward towards electronic contact lenses: now they integrate functioning batteries
For the first time in the world, a research team from the French university IMT Atlantique has found a way to integrate a flexible battery into a pair of contact lenses.
The first psychedelic medical research center opens in London
The world's first psychedelic research center located in an important academic institution opens in London: none other than Imperial College. Come and read why the treatment of depression and anorexia will be a blast.
You move on to the powdered blood
Having blood available to perform transfusions is crucial during an emergency: unfortunately blood requires special treatment, it must be refrigerated and having it always "ready for use is not easy", but how would the situation change if the medical staff were equipped with packets of powdered blood to be mixed with water for immediate use? Transfusion medicine has been struggling for decades with the limitations represented by the difficult preservation of blood. Blood must be kept cold, it has a half-life of 42... Read more
The platypus that helps beat diabetes
Could it be the #platypus, our new hope against #diabetes? This mammal, in fact, produces a hormone capable of lowering blood sugar, which it uses to wear out rivals in love. But, without harming any animal, this "poison" could also do us humans some good. Type 2 diabetes is one of the most widespread diseases of our daily life. The platypus, however, is one of the strangest animals in the world, because it has remained unchanged for about... Read more
Here is the artificial leaf that produces medicine
Can medicines be produced from solar energy in a clean and ecological way? A group of Dutch scientists from the Eindhoven University of Technology believes so, and has developed an #artificial #leaf-shaped device that produces medicines right from the sun. The basic idea was born from leaves capable of feeding themselves thanks to chlorophyll photosynthesis. The researchers used materials that behave like leaves, capturing sunlight and storing it for later use. The materials used are called luminescent solar concentrators (LSC). … Read more
The hi-tech suture will tell us how the wound is going
Technology is now advancing in every field, and especially in medicine it helps us to be increasingly efficient. This is the case of the intelligent #suture, created by researchers from MIT and Tufts University. This special type of suture keeps the #wound under control and signals any ongoing infections. The threads that are used - we read on Microsystems & Nanoengineering - are a mix of cotton and synthetic materials. These are able to absorb body fluids and… Read more
Can we go back to walking with Cyber Therapy?
A new hope for those trying to walk again comes from technology, and precisely from Cybertherapy. What is it about? Virtual reality comes to our rescue, with a special super-technological "cave" in which to "immerse ourselves" to carry out physical and cognitive rehabilitation. They are called "Cave", and are two virtual rooms installed at the IRCCS Auxologico Italiano in Milan where virtual immersive Telepresence (Tiv) is experimented. In the caves you can simulate typical scenarios in which some disorders are treated, including cognitive ones in ... Read more
AIDS, Luca Pani predicts turning points in the coming years
AIDS has always been considered an untreatable disease, perhaps to be kept under control, but impossible to cure completely. From today, something could change. “There is a serious possibility that within the next three to five years, HIV patients will become negative, even becoming non-contagious with relatively light therapies.” It is an important step forward to avoid new infections. The news was given by Luca Pani, Director General of the Italian Medicines Agency (Aifa). It is one of the most striking news in relation to the fight… Read more
The first all-Italian flexible robot arrives
Italy is not always at the rear of scientific and technological research, on the contrary. Today's news is the creation of the first flexible robot in the world, and it is an entirely Italian discovery. In fact, the first patent in the world has been registered for a flexible robot, with a shape that recalls that of a snake: as can be seen from the photo, these are two "intertwined" structures that make it up and which allow it to stretch and bend, avoiding precision every obstacle. The … Read more
Research uncovers the weakness of cancer
Are we facing an epochal turning point? Researchers, in fact, may have discovered the weak point of cancer, even at the terminal stage. A team of researchers from University College London, in fact, managed to identify a strategy, supported by funding from Cancer Research UK and the Rosetrees Trust. The research, published in Science, explains how the genetic complexity of tumors can be recognized and exploited by the immune system. When a cancer develops in the human body, in fact, the diversity of its genetic defects can be ... Read more
3D printing of human organs and tissues is reality
We have all asked ourselves at least once: but what is 3D printing for? To many things, including the faithful reproduction of human organs and tissues. Will organ donation become a distant memory? Reading the latest news, it seems so. The news was broken by the team at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, whose researchers have found a way to print "living" tissues and organs that can function properly when implanted in the body of ...
