Genes from regenerative organisms rejuvenate intestinal stem cells in fruit flies. In a groundbreaking experiment, Japanese researchers transferred regenerative genes to fruit flies, leading to improved intestinal health and enhanced stem cell activity. This discovery opens new possibilities for anti-aging strategies in higher organisms, including humans, through targeted gene therapy.

How can Astrology tell you about your worst friends? Astrology is the concept of using the placement of the planets and their related astrological signs, or the Signs of the Zodiac, to determine the course of a life. These placements based on your birth date, time, and location can give you a wealth of information about your personality traits and character and predict events throughout your life based on your sign and current placements. Of course, this is a quick overview, and doing actual natal charts and horoscopes is much more complicated. But now you have a basic idea of what astrology is.

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. Forward-looking: Approximately five percent of adults listed for a heart transplant in the US die each year while waiting for a suitable donor heart. One of these patients, however, beat the odds by participating in an FDA Early Feasibility Study for an artificial heart created by the medical device company BiVACOR. Implanted with this total artificial heart – a new device that looks nothing like earlier generations of artificial hearts – the patient was able to survive eight days until a transplant. The company hopes its device can be approved for long-term use one day.

The Food and Drug Administration has given the go-ahead for a late-stage clinical trial of an injectable stem cell product that could give new hope to millions of patients suffering from lower back pain caused by degenerative disc disease (DDD). Up to 400 patients with mild to moderate DDD are expected to enroll in the Phase 3 study later this year.

A Massachusetts man can speak again after a rare voice box transplant that replaced his cancerous larynx, reports The Associated Press (AP). Laryngeal cancer is cancer of the larynx, or voice box, which helps with speaking, breathing and swallowing. The larynx also contains one’s vocal cords. Each year, about 12,500 people in the United States are diagnosed with laryngeal cancer, and about 4,000 people die from it annually, according to the Cleveland Clinic.

Mammals are born with all the oocytes (or egg cells) they'll ever need, but how the cells remain alive and active for so long is something of a mystery. A pair of studies have now revealed it could all come down to the robustness of their proteins.



					
			

The two investigations used traceable isotopes incorporated into growing mouse fetuses to measure the lifespans of proteins in their ovaries, finding many of them survived far longer than proteins in the rest of the body. The presence of these 'long life' molecules and the support they give oocytes and the surrounding cells seem to...

Engineers have invented a new way to remove health-harming ‘forever chemicals’ from water – using 3D printing. Researchers at the University of Bath say their method, using ceramic-infused lattices (or ‘monoliths’), removes at least 75% of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), one of the most common perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS), from water, and could become an important tool in future efforts to eliminate the chemicals from water supplies.

Topical repellents are key to inhibiting mosquito attraction and limiting transmission of the deadly human pathogens they carry. Existing insect repellents, despite their potency, offer a short window of protection that leaves individuals open to exposure.
