COLOGNE - A new study from Germany has potentially found the answers to time-old questions: what drives ageing and what can we do to reverse it? Despite centuries of research and progress in medicine, there are still many mysteries that remain unresolved, chief among them being an understanding of what causes ageing and how can
NEW YORK - Imagine using your cellphone to control the activity of your own cells to treat injuries and disease. It sounds like something from the imagination of an overly optimistic science fiction writer. But this may one day be a possibility through the emerging field of quantum biology. Over the past few decades, scientists
SAN DIEGO, Ca. - Researchers from the University of California San Diego conducted a study to reprogram the cellular aging process. The study concluded that they were able to increase the lifespan of yeast cells by 82% — and claimed that the same could be done on a cellular level in humans. The study was
DURHAM, N.C. —Researchers at Duke University may one day give countless heart attack patients a second chance for a healthy life. Using rodents, study authors have revealed a potential way to turn back the clock following a heart attack. The human heart is capable of incredible feats, beating over 100,000 times and pumping over 2,000
BOSTON - A team of Harvard Medical School scientists say they've come up with a new drug cocktail of molecules that they say can successfully regenerate the hair cells in the inner ear that enable hearing — a potentially groundbreaking treatment for hearing loss. As detailed in a new paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy
NEW YORK - In a significant groundbreaking medical development, researchers have created a tiny device, smaller than a grain of rice, to deliver drugs directly to the pancreatic tumor. In the near future, this implantable nanofluidic device could be a game changer in treating pancreatic cancer. Nanomedicine experts at Houston Methodist Academic Institute developed the
BLOOMFIELD HILLS–Zivo Bioscience Inc., a biotech and agriculture-tech research and development company developing medicines and nutritional products from algae cultures, announced a $1 million unsecured six-month loan from Chairman and CEO John Payne. The loan carries 10% simple interest, may be prepaid without penalty, is extendable for an additional six months and includes warrants to
NEW YORK - Cancer patients undergo chemotherapy or some other mainstream cancer treatment and experience various side effects and intense physical suffering. A team of researchers from Shanghai-based Fudan University claims to have devised anticancer therapy that is better and safer than now. They have developed an implantable battery system that can identify low-oxygen environments
ANN ARBOR - The University of Michigan Health has officially acquired Lansing-based Sparrow Health System to become a $7 billion health system with more than 200 sites of care, according to an April 3 news release. UM Health and Sparrow said they have received the necessary regulatory approvals to partner after announcing their plans in
LONDON - Artificial intelligence has developed a treatment for an aggressive form of cancer in just 30 days and demonstrated it can predict a patient's survival rate using doctors' notes. The breakthroughs were performed by separate systems, but show how the powerful technology's uses go far beyond the generation of images and text. University of Toronto
