Environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs) are natural and synthetic chemicals that interfere with endocrine system function by altering hormone synthesis, transport, metabolism, and receptor binding.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurological disorder with classic clinical symptoms such as dementia, cognitive decline, and behavioural changes, particularly in the ageing population.
The dark fantasy adventure “Alice in Wonderland” has gained widespread appreciation among audiences. However, the Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AWS), a brain-related condition, is not something anyone would ever love to experience or witness.
How the fruit fly egg chamber reveals the secrets of cell migration and offers powerful insights into cancer metastasis and future therapies.
Self-healing materials (SHMs) are substances that automatically repair damage, mimicking organic healing. These materials have a wide range of applications, including construction, biomedicine, transportation, and even textiles. SHMs can extend the longevity of manufactured goods and have numerous uses in medical healing (Crawford, 2024).
A future without transplant waitlists? Tissue engineering blends biology and engineering to build living, functional human tissue.
In many areas of physics, the word “singularity” implies the breakdown of equations — an undefined point where the mathematics “fails” or where physical laws suddenly stop working. But this interpretation has always felt philosophically unsatisfying. Why should nature permit a point where its own rules dissolve?
In Sci-fi visions of distant futures, some imagine sprawling intergalactic civilizations. Scaffolds built around stars harvesting their energy. Fusion reactors, cyborgs, superintelligent implants. But the future of artificial bones, though perhaps more mundane, could be a life saving science.
Environmental pollution in densely populated regions remains a persistent challenge, particularly where cultural, religious, and social practices intersect with fragile ecosystems. While industrial emissions and vehicular pollution have received substantial scholarly attention, the environmental impact of everyday ritual and community practices
Plant mucilage is a thick, glue-like substance produced by plants that helps with seed germination, water and nutrient storage, and defense. Flax and chia seeds are rich sources of mucilage and have various applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
This article will unlock that box, exploring the crucial process of translating complex clinical trial evidence into clear, understandable information for everyone. We'll journey from the surprising origins of clinical trials to the modern-day push for transparency, and discover why making science accessible is not just a convenience, but a necessity for public trust and informed health decisions.
Ageing is accompanied by a gradual decline in physiological functions, among which deterioration of the immune system termed immunosenescence—has profound implications for human health.
Antibiotic resistance could kill 10 million annually by 2050. Discover how AI found Halicin, a molecule that kills superbugs humans couldn't defeat.
Animal models have traditionally served as the cornerstone of drug safety evaluation; however, major translational challenges persist due to interspecies differences in physiology, metabolism, and genetic regulation. Many compounds demonstrating favorable toxicity profiles in animals later fail during human trials or are withdrawn post-marketing due to unforeseen adverse effects, especially hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity (Lee et al., 2025).
Modern healthcare is undergoing a silent revolution. Now to treat a disease in the healthcare system, there is no longer a need to wait for symptoms to appear.
What if one of the most powerful models for understanding the human brain were less than an inch long, transparent, and living in a small tank? Meet Danio rerio, the zebrafish.
The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex and dynamic ecosystem composed of malignant cells, immune infiltrates, stromal elements, and vascular components that collectively influence tumor initiation, progression, immune escape, and therapeutic response. Traditional bulk transcriptomic approaches obscure this complexity by averaging gene expression across heterogeneous cell populations.
How a 150-year-old food industry technique became essential for creating stable biologics and inhaled medicines, transforming liquid drugs into life-saving powders.
Disorders of Gut–Brain Interaction (DGBIs), such as Functional Dyspepsia (FD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), present a formidable clinical impasse due to their profoundly heterogeneous and multifactorial nature.
Epigenetics is transforming how scientists understand the bridge between genes and behavior, opening the door to a new era of mental health treatment.
