-(Natural News) A “diabetes alert dog” is a special type of service dog that is trained to detect the symptoms of hypoglycemia in their owners who suffer from Type 1 diabetes. U.K. researchers reported that the animals are much more accurate at sensing the symptoms of abnormally low or high blood sugar than current diabetes detectors. In their […]

-(Natural News) Spider silk that heals people. While this may sound like an odd scene out of the comic book series Spider-Man, scientists have developed synthetic spider silk infused with antibiotics that can be used in drug delivery, regenerative medicine, and wound healing. Spider silk has long been known to scientists around the world as […]

-(Natural News) Patients with Type 1 diabetes can thank Oregon-based researchers for developing a wearable medical device that works like an artificial pancreas. 3D printed instead of built, its nano sensors keep a constant eye on blood glucose levels, so that it can deliver insulin and glucagon to the patient whenever necessary. The new device was designed by researchers […]

-(Natural News) Undergoing any type of X-ray scan exposes your body to ionizing radiation that can damage DNA and cause cancer. Computerized tomography (CT) scans are one of the worst such methods. But if you are forced to undergo a CT scan, you should take at least one of several natural protections against X-ray radiation. A CT scan creates a detailed 3D image of […]

-(Natural News) As a person ages, his body’s ability to control blood flow tends to deteriorate. This can result in problems later in life, especially when it comes to wound repair and body heat regulation. Fortunately, scientists in Brazil and Spain have found a promising therapeutic strategy for this problem in whole-body vibration exercise (WBVE). Their […]

-(Natural News) The future of wound dressing may come from the unlikeliest of sources — jellyfish. Studies have revealed that jellyfish contain collagen, which can assist in tissue regrowth and help with the healing process. Experts believe that this is because collagen generates cells such as fibroblasts and keratinocytes which sanitize the wound and encourage the growth […]

-(Natural News) A recent study carried out by a team of researchers at Rice University in Houston, Texas has revealed that a relatively low-cost light therapy may help effectively eliminate amyloid beta proteins, which are precursors to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease onset. It has long been established that beta amyloid accumulation results in the development […]

-(Natural News) That’s, at least, what certain experts predict. After all, it is only the natural step forward after social companion robots — a technology that is only gaining popularity as more people attempt to fill the void in their lives with a non-human “human.” The concept of a robot psychologist might seem off-putting to […]
