A group of Spanish scientists found a strange genetic mutation that faces the infection of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in the body. On the part of the National Center of Microbiology of the ISCII, these researchers found a defect in the gene of the protein transportin 3, which would be fighting HIV and would […]

A group of specialists from the Institute of Aging Biology of the Max Planck Society (Germany) developed a blood test that can determine the risks of death of a person in the next 10 years. Through 14 different biomarkers, this test allows predicting with 83% accuracy if the person will stay alive or die in […]

Researchers at the University of California in San Diego (USA), led by ShenggiangCai, have developed a type of contact lenses that are soft robots, which are not controlled manually or by individual programs, but use signals electric produced naturally by the eyes to perform tasks that improve the ability of vision. The contact lens is […]

Chinese researchers have made progress in deep brain stimulation of non-invasive ultrasound (UDBS) for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease through mouse experiments, according to a study recently published in the journal Research. The cause of Parkinson’s is mainly related to the dysfunction of the deep brain nuclei and the neural circuit. Until now, the physical […]
