A research study from the scientists at the National Institutes of Health and the University of Alabama, Birmingham (UAB) discovered that there was a connection between the genes that code for hair color and the genes that signal infection in the body. This study had revealed a reason as to why some people’s hair turn grey in response to an illness.
By getting inspired by dental reconstruction techniques, scientists from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden reported a new method where acute bone fractures would be treated with a biocompatible adhesive patch providing rigidity of dental resin composites with an extraordinary bonding strength of self-etching primer. The entire procedure would take five minutes to complete.
A research team at the University of Michigan were developing a pill which shows the presence of tumors when exposed to infrared light, and their concept worked well in mice.
Antibiotics play a major role in the medical field in order to eliminate the pathogens. Nowadays, the overutilization of antibiotics seems to be an upcoming disaster which not only leads to pollution via pharmaceutical wastes, but it had also increased the risk of antibiotic resistance.
Pulmonary hypertension is an acute lung disease which affects the right side of the heart, leading to increased blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs, since the artery walls become thickened. Research work is going on worldwide to discover the ultimate therapy for pulmonary hypertension.
A research team led by Dr. Gerhard Walzl from Stellenbosch University in South Africa, has discovered a new blood test to predict tuberculosis development up to two years before its onset in high-risk patients. In the study, the expression level of four genes named “RISK4”, associated with inflammatory response, were measured.
More than one-quarter of the world’s population were constantly getting affected with the one of the world’s oldest and deadliest disease named Tuberculosis (TB). In spite of 6-9 months antibiotic therapy, it’s very difficult to treat tuberculosis. That’s why researchers throughout the world were trying to find the faster ways of cure.
Previous research on color blindness correction was conducted using gene therapy, while EnChroma developed sunglasses which could correct the issue. But they were bulky and expensive, and could not be used with regular corrective lenses.
In the pilot phase, individual grants would be provided which would range from $250,000 to $2 million over two years. An additional $10 million may be provided if project is promising in animal studies but that money won’t be the part of this funding round
A research team led by Yokohama City University and Toyama Chemical Co Ltd in Japan has developed a small compound named edonerpic maleate that showed enhanced recovery of motor function after brain damage in animal trials.
