IBM creates one macromolecule to rule them all, from Ebola to Zika and the flu. This post from Popular Science reveals how the researchers went about creating the macromolecule. Finding a cure for viruses like Ebola, Zika, or even the flu is a challenging task. Viruses are vastly different from one another, and even the same strain of a virus can mutate and change--that's why ... Continue Reading
Genetically Modified Food Loses Court Battle

This post from Healthy 365 Days highlights the professor’s two court victories in less than a month. March-against-monsanto.com reports: Now, Prof. Séralini is in the news again – this time for winning a major court victory in ... Continue Reading
Stem Cells Driving New Brain Health Discoveries
Brain health research has set its sights on brain death reversal. Bioquark has been permitted to use stem cells to restart neural activity in dead brains. This post from Fortune describes the ambitious project with the long-term goal of reversing brain death. The National Institutes of Health haveapproved an application from Bioquark to perform a small pilot study that would ... Continue Reading
The Latest in Alzheimer’s Treatment
With greater understanding of genetics and characteristics of diseases, biologic drugs are emerging as a cutting-edge Alzheimer’s treatment. This post from The Guardian highlights how the treatments for cancers and Alzheimer's are on the verge of a breakthrough. The practice of medicine can be hit-and-miss: however good a drug is, it is unlikely to work well on everybody with ... Continue Reading
New Biosensors to Detect Cancer Earlier
New biosensors points the way toward an effective early detection system for cancer and other illnesses. The optical sensor can isolate a single molecule in a diffuse solution, boosting the resolving power of such devices one million times. This post from Futurism raises hope for nipping cancer in the bud and sheds light on a new supersensitive biosensor that can make it ... Continue Reading
