In a collaboration with Kyushu University, a team of Harvard University scientists says their new research into the ability to regrow lost limbs sets the stage’ for proper limb regeneration.
Of course, some animals, including amphibians, can regrow a lost arm or leg, but the team behind this latest research hopes to bring that ability to humans who hope to regrow lost limbs.
The researchers also say this process could facilitate the growing of limbs in animals that lost them to evolution, such as snakes.
Bioresorbable neural implants offer a promising solution to the challenges of secondary surgeries required for the removal of implanted devices. Here, the authors introduce a fully bioresorbable flexible hybrid opto-electronic system for simultaneous electrophysiological recording and optogenetic stimulation.

The story of how life started on Earth is one that scientists are eager to learn. Researchers may have uncovered an important detail in the plot of chapter one: an explanation of how bubbles of fat came to form the membranes of the very first cells.
A key part of the new findings, made by a team from The Scripps Research Institute in California, is that a chemical process called phosphorylation may have happened earlier than previously thought.
This process adds groups of atoms that include phosphorus to a molecule, bringing extra functions with it – functions that can turn spherical collections of fats called protocells into more advanced versions of themselves, able to be more versatile, stable, and chemically active.
Quantum traffic laws applied to the 3D streetscape of a specific kind of crystal can put the brakes on electron rush hour.
In a search for novel materials that can contain bizarre new states of matter, physicists from Rice University in the US led an experiment that forced free-roaming electrons to stay in place.
While the phenomenon has been seen in materials where electrons are constrained to just two dimensions, this is the first time it’s been observed in a three-dimensional crystal metal lattice, known as a pyrochlore. The technique gives researchers a new tool for studying the less conventional activities of plucky, charge-carrying particles.
Cancer survivor, Gail Baron Simpson, shares her personal journey to treatment success in this in-depth interview with Precision Oncology specialist and CTOAM co-founder, Alex Rolland, and Michelle Morand, Precision Cancer Medicine Advocacy specialist and CTOAM co-founder.
Please watch our short intro video to Gail’s story first! 👉 • Introduction to Gail’s Incredible Can…
After being diagnosed with a rare orphan cancer, Gail discusses her experience with navigating the challenges of standard healthcare and her decision to hire CTOAM to help integrate Precision Cancer Medicine into her cancer care – and how she was able to advocate for the right treatment and eventually find success.
Join us for an extraordinary livestream webinar, ‘Paving the Way for the Future: Learning from 4 Biostasis Cases and the Challenges and Advancements at Tomorrow Bio’ featuring esteemed speakers Dr. Emil Kendziorra and Dr. Irishikesh Santhosh from Tomorrow Biostasis GmbH. This pivotal session, scheduled for March 18th, 2024, at 7:00 PM, will delve into the latest advancements and real-world applications of biostasis, focusing on the detailed processes and outcomes associated with four distinct patient cases from 2023.
In this webinar, we will explore the intricate procedures and challenges encountered during the biostasis process, including stabilization in the face of cardiopulmonary arrest, the nuances of surgical and perfusion procedures, and the critical cooldown process for long-term storage. Our experts will unpack the innovative techniques employed, the utilization of cryoprotectant solutions, cooling techniques, and the diligent monitoring through CT scans, alongside the resolution of unforeseen technical challenges.
Each case report offers a unique glimpse into the complexities of biostasis, presenting the issues faced, such as equipment malfunctions and procedural hurdles, and the subsequent strategies for resolution or planned mitigations. Through graphical presentations on temperature, pressure, and refractive index, and detailed analyses of CT scans, attendees will gain comprehensive insights into the cutting-edge methods and equipment pivotal to biostasis.
This webinar is not just a learning opportunity but a platform for interactive discussion. We encourage all attendees to engage with our speakers through live questions, share their insights, and participate in real-time polls. Whether you’re a seasoned medical professional, an avid student of science, or simply fascinated by the potential of biostasis to preserve life, this session promises to be both enlightening and engaging.
