These experiments hold promise for alleviating the chronic shortage of organs for transplantation Even though sparingly, cloned farm animals are now providing kidneys, hearts, livers, and other organs to save the lives of those who need transplants. While scientists say it is exciting as research, trials, and executions have been happening for more than 20

Microplastics – tiny bits of degraded polymers that are ubiquitous in our air, water and soil – have lodged themselves throughout the human body, including the liver, kidney, placenta and testes, over the past half century. Now, University of New Mexico Health Sciences researchers have found microplastics in human brains, and at much higher concentrations

New study reveals practical lifestyle choices that may protect your brain from harmful microplastics linked to dementia—find out how small changes can make a big impact.

Sundaram and Amin are in pursuit of the Holy Grail—printing an actual organ like a heart, liver, or kidney. World over, researchers are trying to engineer human cells and tissues for this purpose. It holds the promise of revolutionising medicine. Donor lists would be redundant. Organ rejection would be a thing of the past. Doctors

For over a century, scientists have analyzed the vast microbial world within the human body. They’ve found bacteria, fungi, and viruses that influence our health in many ways. We thought we had a decent idea of what lies in our bodies. But nature, as it so often does, seems to have thrown us a curveball.
