Scientists like Japanese biologist Katsuhiko Hayashi and CEO of Conception Biosciences Matt Krisiloff are investigating the possibility of creating human eggs from skin cells in the next decade. This could allow older women to have biological children, and male couples to have biological children without any other genetic contributors. The technology, known as in vitro gametogenesis (IVG), could fundamentally redefine the concept of parenthood. However, it faces severe scientific, ethical, and cultural challenges.

Healthy aging has become a focal point in today’s personal care industry, driven by the growing awareness of individuals looking to maintain their well-being and

Tonix Pharmaceuticals has discontinued a major depression disorder therapy, TNX-601 ER, after it failed in phase 2 trials. The company now plans to focus on its CNS pipeline and reduce efforts on a COVID vaccine and other preclinical projects. Additionally, Tonix will look into the findings from chronic migraine and fibromyalgia studies due in the following month.

Researchers from the Institute of Evolutionary Biology and Pompeu Fabra University have discovered the most prevalent Denisovan genetic contribution in modern humans, affecting zinc regulation. This genetic mutation likely provided an evolutionary advantage for adapting to cold climates. However, it may also have linked modern humans to various neuropsychiatric disorders. This genetic variant has a global presence, except in Africa, marking vast geographical scope of Denisovan genetic adaptation.

Research reveals the human nose has a much more complex anatomy and function than previously believed, operating similar to two separate organs. A process called the nasal cycle alternately constricts and opens the nostrils. The nasal swelling rather than mucus is the primary cause of stuffiness. Decongestants provide temporary relief by causing nose-specific blood vessels to shrink. Understanding this process could provide more effective treatments for congestion and stuffy nose.

Scientists from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and the University of Glasgow have developed a novel DNA methylation (DNAm) clock, improving assessment of aging rate for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The new biomarker allows for the measurement of biological vs chronological age. Further research is necessary to maximize the evaluation of lifestyle change effects on biological age using DNAm clocks.

When dealing with cold or flu symptoms, it’s important to choose over-the-counter medication wisely, as not all may work effectively. Notably, oral phenylephrine, an ingredient in many such medicines, doesn’t work and was removed from CVS Health’s offerings. Alternative effective medicines include Pseudoephedrine, nasal decongestant sprays – though they can worsen symptoms with prolonged use, nasal steroid sprays, and antihistamines. Also, neti pots could be helpful to relieve nasal congestion.

Colorectal cancer, the second-most deadly cancer globally, credited with over 1.7% of all deaths, is tackled predominantly with colonoscopies in the US. Recent randomized controlled trials have proved ambiguous, querying the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of the invasive procedure. This procedure operates on the adenoma-carcinoma hypothesis, removing polyps formed by mutant cells that could develop into cancer. Alternative screening procedures include the occult blood test and sigmoidoscopy, both less invasive and cheaper.

Poor sleep quality in overweight older adults is linked to health issues including anxiety, depression, and alteration in body composition, according to a Brazil-based study. The research, which assessed 95 participants, found poor sleepers had more body fat, less lean muscle, and poorer mental health. Consequently, sleep quality is emerging as a significant health factor, with obesity among older adults worldwide on the rise.

26 Oct 2023 — Researchers from the University of Minnesota and Brightseed are spotlighting more reasons to prioritize fiber in our regular diets. The study
