Scientists have created a ’pumping heart patch’ that repairs damaged hearts
Even when a person survives a heart attack, the consequences of such an attack can have life-threatening consequences on a patient. That’s why scientists at the Imperial College London have created a “pumping” patch containing millions of living beating stem cells that can repair … [Read more...] about Scientists have created a ’pumping heart patch’ that repairs damaged hearts
Scientists are developing a super plant that stores massive amounts of carbon
If we want to minimize the effects of global heating, then we need to pull millions of tons of carbon dioxide out of the air. While capture technology is one potential way to suck up carbon, researchers at California’s Salk Institute for Biological Studies are taking a less … [Read more...] about Scientists are developing a super plant that stores massive amounts of carbon
Scientists genetically modify fungus to wipe out malaria-carrying mosquitos
According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 435,000 people die of mosquito-transmitted malaria each year, a parasitic disease that is both preventable and treatable. Numerous technologies and products have been developed to kill and halt the spread of mosquitos, … [Read more...] about Scientists genetically modify fungus to wipe out malaria-carrying mosquitos
Doctors used music to prevent neurodevelopmental disorders in premature babies
While advances in neonatal medicine have increased the chance of survival of premature babies, these children still remain at high risk of developing brain development disorders. This is because the vast majority of neural growth for a baby occurs during the last trimester of … [Read more...] about Doctors used music to prevent neurodevelopmental disorders in premature babies
