Coventry University researchers have developed a new tool which could help diagnose Alzheimer’s Disease. Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, affecting 50 million patients worldwide and that figure is expected to increase by 50% by 2050. Current AD diagnosis methods like cognitive, physical and radiological assessments can be often subjective, time-consuming […]

Australian lab grown milk : A new animal-free milk that emulates the natural fermentation process in cows could hit supermarket shelves in the next two years. The lab-grown milk promises to be more sustainable than dairy, but with near-identical taste and nutritional content. Sustainability Policy Institute’s Dr Diana Bogueva, from Curtin University says: “Lab-grown milk […]
Pioneering research using bacteria brings scientists a step closer to creating artificial cells with lifelike functionality. Scientists have harnessed the potential of bacteria to help build advanced synthetic cells which mimic real life functionality. The research, led by the University of Bristol and published today in Nature, makes important progress in deploying synthetic cells, known […]
Pioneering mathematical formula paves way for exciting advances in health, energy, and food industry. A groundbreaking mathematical equation has been discovered, which could transform medical procedures, natural gas extraction, and plastic packaging production in the future. The new equation, developed by scientists at the University of Bristol, indicates that diffusive movement through permeable material can […]
