A new study released by Johns Hopkins Medicine may shed light on the seemingly never ending search for understanding cancer. Researchers have discovered an unexpected phenomenon in the organs that produce sperm in fruit flies: When a certain kind of stem cell is killed off experimentally, another group of non-stem cells can come out of retirement […]
Nano-particles Force Cancerous Tumor Cells To ‘Self-Destruct’
New research released by Lund University in Sweden indicates magnetically controlled nano-particles can force tumor cells to ‘self-destruct’. This news could be pivotal in the world of cancer treatment research. In the video below, Erik Renstrom, a Prefessor at Lund University says, “magnetically controlled nano-particles to force tumor cells to ‘self-destruct’ “Our technique, on the other hand, […]

Researchers Discover New Method For Bonding Gels And Biological Tissues
Researchers have discovered an efficient and easy-to-use method for bonding together gels and biological tissues. A team involving researchers from the Laboratoire Matière Molle et Chimie (CNRS/ESPCI ParisTech) and the Laboratoire Physico-Chimie des Polymères et Milieux Dispersés (CNRS/ UPMC/ESPCI ParisTech), has successfully achieved a very strong adhesion between two gels by spreading a solution containing […]

Reproductive Biologists Move In Vitro Fertilization Knowledge Forward
AMHERST, Mass. – Two new papers from reproductive biologists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, with international partners, report advances in understanding the basic processes of sperm capacitation that may one day improve success rates of in vitro fertilization (IVF) by providing a shortcut to bypass problems, and may eventually lead to a male contraceptive. […]
Health and Scientific Research Industries Are Impacted by Government Shutdown
A government shutdown is having far-reaching consequences for some, but minimal impact on others. Mail is being delivered. Social Security and Medicare benefits continue to flow. But new patients are not being accepted into clinical research at the National Institutes of Health, although current patients continue to receive care. Medical research at the NIH has […]
