Scientists Destroy 99% of Cancer Cells in The Lab Using Vibrating Molecules

​

Scientists have discovered a new way to destroy cancer cells. Stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light caused them to vibrate in sync, enough to break apart the membranes of cancer cells.

 

This is so simple. Why didn't anyone think of it before?

AI-Optimized Catheter Design Could Prevent Urinary Tract Infections without Drugs

​

Now, with help from artificial intelligence, researchers have designed a new catheter that they say could reduce bacterial contamination by up to two orders of magnitude—without antibiotics. Its interior is studded with three-dimensional geometric shapes that help prevent bacteria from gaining traction.

 

Honeybee Venom Induces 100% Breast Cancer Cell Death

​

Dr. Duffy was also curious about what would happen if melittin was combined with already existing chemotherapy medications. Even more potent results were seen afterward.

 

The world's becoming more and more promiscuous ... and I don't think that's a good thing, to be honest:

Experts Confirm: US Is Dealing With an 'Out-of-Control' STI Epidemic

​

The most common STI in the US in 2022 was chlamydia, which has remained in the top spot for years now. Nevertheless, it is the recent rise in syphilis that is concerning health officials most.

According to CDC data, syphilis cases of all stages have increased by 80 percent in the past five years.

 

Scientists discovered a new molecule that kills even the deadliest cancer

​

Now, in another breakthrough, a new compound synthesized by Dr. Jung-Mo Ahn, a University of Texas at Dallas researcher, has been found to kill a broad spectrum of hard-to-treat cancers, including triple-negative breast cancer, leaving healthy cells unscathed.

 

Electricity can heal even the worst kind of wounds three times faster, new study finds

​

They created a biochip containing cultured skin cells with properties similar to human skin cells. Next, they chose two cells and made wounds on them. One cell was allowed to repair under an electric field (200mV/mm), while the other healed without any electric stimulation.

The researchers noticed that electricity enabled the former to heal three times faster than the latter. “We were able to show that the old hypothesis about electric stimulation can be used to make wounds heal significantly faster,” said Asplund.

Blood vessels made with 3D-printed ice could improve lab-grown organs

​

Complex artificial organs could be created by 3D printing a mould of veins, arteries and capillaries in ice, casting that in organic material and then allowing the ice to melt away, resulting in a delicate, hollow network. This leaves a space for the intricate artificial blood vessels that are required to develop lab-grown internal organs.

 

This sounds downright strange to me ... but hey, I guess we're gonna have to wait and see:

Gold Nanocrystals Rescue Brain Deficits In Parkinson's Disease And MS In Phase 2 Trial

​

A daily dose of gold nanocrystals suspended in water led to improvements in patients with Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis (MS), according to the results of phase two clinical trials. The treatment addresses an energy imbalance that arises in the brain, and previous animal and human studies have suggested it could help slow neurological decline and maybe even trigger partial recovery for these patients.

 

Cannabis Extract Triggers Death of Deadly Skin Cancer Cells

​

Findings from the team suggest that this particular Cannabis sativa extract stops melanoma cells from multiplying, by forcing the disease to kill itself. "The damage to the melanoma cell prevents it from dividing into new cells, and instead begins a programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis,"

 

Time to work out a formula, I’m in the gene pool for it, kids and grandkids too. Nice find.

The Mysterious Case of The Youngest Person Ever Diagnosed With Alzheimer's

​

The male teenager began experiencing memory decline around age 17, and the cognitive losses only worsened over the years.

 

Alzheimer's Might Not Actually Be a Brain Disease, Expert Reveals

​

Based on our past 30 years of research, we no longer think of Alzheimer's as primarily a disease of the brain. Rather, we believe that Alzheimer's is principally a disorder of the immune system within the brain.

 

Flashing Lights And a Clicking Sound Cleared Toxic Proteins in Alzheimer's Mice


​

In tests on mice, a team led by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that flashes of light and clicks of sound at a frequency of 40 times a second (or 40 hertz) helped clear amyloid proteins from the brain's glymphatic system, a 'plumbing' network that removes harmful substances.

 

Milk to the rescue for diabetics? Cow produces human insulin in milk

​

An unassuming brown bovine from the south of Brazil has made history as the first transgenic cow capable of producing human insulin in her milk. The advancement, led by researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the Universidade de São Paulo, could herald a new era in insulin production, one day eliminating drug scarcity and high costs for people living with diabetes.
