A research paper by scientists from Nanyang Technological University developed a miniature wireless controller that is fully implantable to small insects and demonstrated that the implantation of electronic device enhances traversal performance of the cyborg cockroach.
The new research paper, published on May. 25 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, developed the first fully implantable miniature radio controller for the Madagascar hissing cockroach.
Continuous consumption of foods containing heat-inactivated Lactiplantibacillus pentosus can help reduce gum bleeding, report researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo. These postbiotic foods can improve inflammatory conditions and enhance gum health in adults with mild gingivitis. The study suggested that these postbiotic foods offer a simple and practical way to support oral health in daily life without altering oral care habits. The findings also aid in the prevention of early-stage periodontal disease.
The study, led by the Institute for Neurosciences CSIC-UMH and EPFL (Switzerland), shows that the molecule OLE helps microglia enclose and contain beta-amyloid plaques, reducing their size and toxicity.
The research, published in the journal Cell Death and Disease, could pave the way for a new strategy to combat Alzheimer’s disease by restoring the protective function of the brain’s immune system.
People become much less concerned about being better off than other people when health enters the picture, according to new research.
