New Synthetic Antioxidant Inspired by 'Conan the Bacterium' Could Shield Humans from Radiation
Researchers have developed a synthetic antioxidant inspired by Deinococcus radiodurans, a bacterium nicknamed "Conan the Bacterium" for its ability to survive extreme radiation levels. This lab-made compound, called manganese-dependent peptide (MDP), combines manganese ions, phosphate ions, and a peptide from D. radiodurans to neutralise harmful ra...

Flesh-Eating Human Parasite Resurfaces in Central America, Raises New Concerns
New World Screwworm, a flesh-eating parasite that affects livestock and humans, is resurging in Central America. Cases in Panama, Costa Rica, and Mexico have spiked since 2023, prompting U.S. authorities to tighten livestock import restrictions and monitor for potential spread. The parasite causes painful infestations, with no approved treatments e...

European Watchdog Partially Approves New Alzheimer's Drug
Europe's medicines watchdog on Thursday partially approved a marketing request for a long-awaited new treatment for Alzheimer's disease, reversing an earlier decision not to give it the green light.

Memories Are Not Limited to Brain, New Study Claims
A study from NYU reveals that kidney and nerve cells can perform memory-like functions, suggesting memory capabilities are not restricted to the brain. By replicating a spaced learning process, scientists observed memory gene activation in these non-neural cells, expanding possibilities for enhancing learning and treating memory-related health issu...

New Antibody Treatment Boosts Immune Response Against Tumor: Study
Israeli researchers and their colleagues from the United States developed an antibody-based treatment that empowers the body's immune system to effectively attack cancer cells and prevent their spread, Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science said.

Researchers Develop Cell-Level Wearable Devices to Restore Neuron Function
Scientists at MIT have developed groundbreaking cell-wearable devices that mimic natural myelin to treat neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis. These micro-scale devices wrap around neurons and restore disrupted electrical signalling. They are battery-free and activated by light, allowing for non-invasive monitoring and modulation of neuro...

Researchers Identify Amygdala Cell Clusters To Treat Anxiety and Depression
A recent study by UC Davis researchers has unveiled specific cell clusters in the amygdala that could provide insights into treating anxiety and depression. By examining these cell types in both humans and non-human primates, the research opens pathways for targeted therapies. Notably, FOXP2-expressing cells could serve as vital targets for new dru...

Study Reveals Possible Link Between Depression And Higher Body Temperature
A UCSF study involving 20,880 people across 106 countries has found a possible connection between depression and elevated body temperatures.

Scientists Reportedly Reversed Type 1 Diabetes by Reprogramming Patient's Fat Cells into Insulin-Producing Cells
Chinese researchers have, for the first time, reprogrammed a woman’s fat cells to become insulin-producing pancreatic cells, reversing her need for insulin injections for over a year. In this study, fat cells were chemically reverted into stem-like cells and transformed into islet cells, which are normally found in the pancreas. The cells, implan...

New UCLA Therapy Shows Promise in Preventing Heart Failure After Heart Attacks
UCLA’s Broad Center researchers have developed an antibody therapy to help the heart heal after a heart attack. This therapy, which blocks the ENPP1 protein, reduces scar tissue formation that can lead to heart failure. Early tests showed that treated animals had less scarring and a reduced risk of severe heart failure. With plans for human trial...
