Millions who have lost fingers, toes, hands, feet—even entire arms or legs—will have new hope in the not-too distant future. They may be able to regrow their own missing parts...If they do, they can thank the salamander...Elly Tanaka, a Max Planck In
Dr. Evangelos Michelakis, a professor at the U of A Department of Medicine, has shown that dichloroacetate (DCA) causes regression in several cancers, including lung, breast and brain tumors.
Scientists found that by injecting skin cells with DNA proteins and a cocktail of molecules they could turn them into blood cells. It means that patients needing transfusions – such as those with cancer and leukaemia – could be given perfectly mat
Stimulating the brain with a very low electric current can enhance a person's maths ability for up to six months, British neuroscientists said. Researchers demonstrated that electrical stimulation of the brain improved performance in a series of math
Got blood? Future patients who need transfusions for surgery and cancer treatments could get it from a patch of their own skin. Canadian researchers took the huge step of transforming adult human skin directly into blood. That should provide a desper
The Large Hadron Collider has successfully created a "mini-Big Bang" by smashing together lead ions instead of protons. The experiment created temperatures a million times hotter than the center of the Sun.
hey found that salamander regeneration begins when a clump of cells called a blastema forms at the tip of a lost limb. From the blastema come skin, muscle, bone, blood vessels and neurons, ultimately growing into a limb virtually identical to the old
Strands that are too short or long form self-protected motifs,” says Dr. Yara Yingling, an assistant professor of materials science and engineering at NC State and co-author of a paper describing the research. That means that the strands bond to each
"From day one, I thought about the hologram of Princess Leia and whether it can be brought out of science fiction," says Nasser Peyghambarian, an optical scientist at the University of Arizona in Tucson, who has been trying for several years to dev
NASA is planning to build hypersonic jets that will fly through the Earth’s atmosphere and slash flight times around the world to a few hours at most. The US space agency wants to manufacture a craft that would travel at five times the speed of so
