Traditionally, Forensic Science relies on Human DNA for contact evidence and individual identification, but limitation arises when the blood cells obtained from the crime scene are degraded or not.
Wireless Power Transmission, or WPT, is a new technology that allows electricity to travel without the need for wires, using electromagnetic fields. This article covers how WPT works, the key components involved, the different methods it uses to send power, its applications in daily life, the benefits it offers, the challenges it faces, and what the future holds. Learn how wireless energy transfer is revolutionizing smartphones, EVs, healthcare, and smart cities.
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.
Haploinsufficient genes show how losing one gene copy can affect brain development, increasing risk for neurodevelopmental disorders and behaviour changes.
Biologics have transformed the management of chronic and life-threatening diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and metabolic conditions. However, their complexity, high production costs, and limited affordability continue to challenge healthcare systems worldwide.
Discover how the SNAP29 gene guides cellular traffic, and how its mutation leads to CEDNIK syndrome, affecting brain, nerves, and skin.
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).
Discover what Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is. Its causes, symptoms, and diagnosis. A clear, research-based guide to this common hormonal disorder.
This article aims to demystify the anatomy of a clinical trial protocol, peeling back the technical layers to reveal how scientific rigor is converted into medical progress. At ScientistsHub, we often ask: How do we ensure that a medical breakthrough is not just a stroke of luck, but a repeatable, verifiable victory for human health? The answer is found in the design. To truly appreciate the result of any trial, one must first master the architecture of the inquiry.
Out of so many mental disorders, a rare disorder is the Fregoli delusion or Fregoli syndrome (FS), in which an individual holds a delusional belief that different people are in fact a single person, who keeps on changing appearances quickly or is in disguise. People affected with this condition often experience anxiety, paranoia, and agitation. It can impact the patient’s mental health and their safety and the safety of others.
How does one egg form? Inside the fruit fly ovary, discover how cells organize, migrate, and cooperate to turn an egg chamber into one egg—step by step
See what kidney function tests measure, including creatinine, eGFR, and urinalysis. Discover how these tests help detect kidney disease and monitor kidney health.
Tiny but powerful, basement membranes support cells, regulate barriers, and drive disease when disrupted—key players in health, aging, and cancer.
Antibiotic resistance could kill 10 million annually by 2050. Discover how AI found Halicin, a molecule that kills superbugs humans couldn't defeat.
Imagine being able to control a computer, a prosthetic limb, or even a drone just by using your thoughts. This is not science fiction; it is now a reality thanks to brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). BCIs are groundbreaking systems that enable direct communication between the brain and external devices.
This architecture is essential for shielding neurons from toxins, pathogens, and fluctuations in the bloodstream, but it also creates a devastating bottleneck for modern medicine. More than 98% of small-molecule drugs and nearly all large biological therapeutics fail to cross the BBB in meaningful amounts, leaving many promising treatments for neurodegenerative disorders, brain tumors, and inflammatory diseases stranded in the circulation.
Can algorithms predict sickness before you feel it? Explore how AI is using smartwatch data and ECGs to detect diseases like Alzheimer's and AFib early.
Cell and gene therapies represent a seismic shift in healthcare. They promise to cure the incurable, restoring sight to the blind and erasing cancer from the blood. But this frontier is wild. It comes with biological price tags, potential genetic misfires, and a regulatory landscape that is still being mapped.
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.
See what thyroid function tests measure, including TSH, Free T3, and Free T4. Learn how these blood tests diagnose thyroid disorders and monitor thyroid health.
