Adults who stay consistently active throughout their life can lower their risk of early death by up to 40 per cent, a global study led by The University of Queensland has found. Researchers summarised data of 85 studies from more than 8 million people, finding lifelong physical activity reduced the […]

Researchers led by Jun Chen, an associate professor of bioengineering at the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering, have developed a seemingly simple yet effective tool: a smart, self-powered magnetoelastic pen that could help detect early signs of Parkinson’s disease by analyzing a person’s handwriting. Every year, tens of thousands of […]

UCLA researchers have successfully grown miniature lungs from stem cells — complete with their own functioning blood vessel networks. The groundbreaking work, detailed in Cell, marks the first time scientists have created lung organoids with integrated vascular systems that closely mirror how lungs develop in the human body. The advance […]

San Diego's Gallant just secured $18 million to push forward something that sounds like science fiction: shelf-ready stem cell treatments for pets. This funding could make the startup the first company to bring FDA-approved stem cell therapy to veterinary clinics across America. The seven-year-old company has its sights set on […]

It wasn’t long ago that lubricating and maintaining certain machinery was done every X number of hours. The time-based approach was a ballpark way of ensuring it wasn’t neglected, but it was far from optimal. In 2025, such maintenance is becoming automated. With Industry 4.0, there’s a movement towards intelligent […]

University of Warwick research has shown that the cognitive slowness and disjointedness that comes with aging can be better explained as a symptom of a brain that knows too much (‘cluttered wisdom’) instead of a symptom of a brain that is declining. Traditional views of cognitive aging suggest that declines […]
