In the event of a traumatic brain injury (TBI), chemical changes take place that can act as precursors for secondary damage, and scientists at Ohio State University have demonstrated a new monitoring device that can pick up these warning signs. Source of Article
Scientists have now identified a cellular pathway that can contribute to the death of insulin-producing cells. They found that blocking it in mice and human cells keeps the beta cells alive for longer, delaying or preventing the onset of diabetes. Source of Article
A massive international study designed to unearth new knowledge around the causes of migraines has turned up some interesting new insights, with the authors effectively tripling the number of known genetic risk factors for the condition. Source of Article
Researchers have discovered a novel highly virulent strain of HIV in the Netherlands. The evolution of the variant, which originally emerged over two decades ago, demonstrates how viruses don’t necessarily evolve to become less severe. Source of Article
As it stands, air freight is incredibly quick but also very expensive, while ocean freight is far slower but very cost-effective. Startup Natilus is out to bridge the gap with a new breed of unmanned aircraft featuring a unique blended wing body. Source of Article
Immunotherapy is a promising new form of cancer treatment, but the supercharged immune cells it employs can become exhausted in the fight. Researchers in Japan have found a way to keep them going for longer, by rejuvenating them with stem cells. Source of Article
As part of a new 50-aircraft deal with Qatar Airways, Boeing has introduced its new 777-8 Freighter, the world's largest, longest-range twin-engine freightliner, with the same payload capacity as the 747-400 Freighter. Source of Article
Researchers have developed a new type of artificial muscle that’s entirely made out of natural proteins. Responding to changes in its environment allows the muscle to flex on demand, which could make it useful for implants, prosthetics or robots. Source of Article
A study from scientists at MIT has demonstrated a way to deliver mRNA directly to the digestive tract using a novel capsule. The researchers indicate this oral delivery system could be a unique way to administer mRNA therapies directly to the stomach. Source of Article
Scientists at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology have found that chemicals in plastic could be helping drive rising rates of obesity around the world, by entering the human body and interfering with our metabolism. Source of Article
