Researchers have developed a new technique to heal wounds three times faster using electric stimulation—a breakthrough that could prove to be of significant value to people suffering from disorders like diabetes. “In order to study exactly how this works for wounds, we developed a kind of biochip on which we cultured skin cells, which we…
Australian Breakthrough on Treating Gut Pain Disorders
When American molecular biologist Ardem Patapoutian was awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, which he shared with American physiologist David Julius, his key discoveries brought new insight into decoding the biology of senses and stimuli. Patapoutian’s research focused on identifying molecular receptors in the skin and other organs as well as how…
New Tech May Create Pathway For Women Suffering From Congential Reproductive Issues
Researchers have developed a new technology that permits the growth of fallopian tubes and uterine tissue, offering a better approach to female reproductive repair surgery and hope for women born with reproductive abnormalities to obtain a normal functioning reproductive system. Unfortunately, some women are born with missing or malfunctioning reproductive organs; this occurs because of…
Experts Find Gene Mechanism for Peanut Allergy Remission, Potential Uses for Other Allergies
Researchers from the Murdoch Institute have identified the genetic mechanism behind their peanut allergy remission therapy, with the potential for it to be applicable across other allergies. “What we found was profound differences in network connectivity patterns between children who were allergic and those who were in remission,” said lead researcher Dr. Mimi Tang on…
10 Percent of Patients Under Anesthesia ‘Conscious’: Study
An international study has found that one in 10 patients, or ten percent, of those who undergo general anaesthesia, were conscious of outside stimuli, shedding light on the medical phenomenon of ‘connected consciousness.’ “The data from the study has given us a crucial starting point in improving our understanding of ‘connected consciousness,’” said Prof. Robert…
11 Percent of Patients Under Anesthesia ‘Conscious’: Study
An international study has found that about one in 10 patients, or 11 percent, of those who undergo general anaesthesia, were conscious of outside stimuli, shedding light on the medical phenomenon of ‘connected consciousness.’ “The data from the study has given us a crucial starting point in improving our understanding of ‘connected consciousness,’” said Prof….
Genetic Study on Oats Reveal Why the Grain is Suitable for Gluten-Free Diets
The Edith Cowan University’s (ECU) genetic study on oats has shown why oats could be the answer for most people with coeliac disease and gluten intolerance. “We discovered that oats have fewer of the proteins that correspond to gluten in wheat, causing an immune reaction from people with coeliac disease,” said ECU Prof. Michelle Colgrave…
High Tobacco Tax Associated with Adolescent E-Cigarette Uptake
A study conducted by the University of Queensland (UQ) on teenagers across 44 different countries concluded that increased tax on tobacco was associated with increased e-cigarette consumption among adolescents. “We found that higher tobacco taxes were associated with higher levels of youth vaping,” said lead author Dr. Gary Chan. “This could suggest that young people…
Experts Discover New Combination Therapy to Combat Superbugs
A preclinical study led by researchers from Monash University has discovered that a combination of phage and antibiotic therapy may be the most effective to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria. “We have been able to confirm that, even in complex living systems, treatment with our characterised phages can reliably steer bacteria towards a phage-resistant variant that is…
Scientists Find Age-Related Vision Impairment Not Indicative of Cognitive Impairment
A study conducted by the University of South Australia has gone against the common literature relating poor eyesight to brain decline, finding that cognitive tests can misdiagnose older people with age-related vision decline with cognitive decline by up to 25 percent. “A mistaken score in cognitive tests could have devastating ramifications, leading to unnecessary changes…
