If the Artemis II mission to the moon is to be a step toward sustained human exploration, even to Mars, then one of its contributions must be helping scientists figure out how to keep astronauts safe when they are days, or even months, away from Earth. Consider that in January, while aboard the International Space Station,

You’ve probably heard of the ketogenic diet and you may have heard of the paleo diet – but have you heard of the carnivore diet? This emerging trend takes low carbohydrate diets to a new extreme. The carnivore diet excludes all plant foods; only foods derived from animals are consumed, including meat, fish, animal fats

HANOI, Vietnam, April 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On the morning of April 4, 2026, at 10:00 AM in Hanoi, a scientific and technological bombshell was unveiled at the Meliá Hotel conference hall: the transplantation of porcine cornea into humans. This biomedical breakthrough was announced at the International Scientific Symposium on Bioengineered Cornea, co-organized by

A pioneering project has revealed the human body like never before, from entire organs down to cellular structures, with unprecedented precision on the scale of a single micron – about 50 times thinner than a strand of human hair. Our bodies are akin to biological nesting dolls, formed from a hierarchical assembly of cells, tissues,

For the first time since the Apollo era, humans are preparing not just to visit the Moon, but to live and work there for weeks, months, and eventually years. But what would it really be like to spend an extended period on the lunar surface? The answer is exhilarating – and brutally unforgiving. An exciting

Under the new law, the definition of “organs” has been expanded to include not only vital organs such as kidneys and liver, but also human tissues.

Before four Artemis II astronauts strapped into their Orion capsule to soar toward the moon, a tiny bit of each of them was already on board. Incubated in a small triangular container stowed on the spacecraft just before launch were four USB-size “avatars,” which rode along with the history-making moon mission. But in many ways,

An overlooked organ may a master switch to a longer, healthier life. While every organ in the human body has a purpose, some serve theirs for only a short time — or so we previously thought. Now, new research has found that the health of one in particular not only indicates a longer life, but

University College London’s Human Organ Atlas lets anyone explore human organs in stunning 3D, from full organs down to individual cells, through a free, browser-based platform designed for researchers, educators, and curious minds University College London (UCL) has launched the Human Organ Atlas, a revolutionary 3D platform that lets users explore organs such as the

Everywhere we look, tiny fragments of plastic—known as microplastics—are making their unwelcome presence felt, including within our own bodies. These particles seep in through what we consume, the air we inhale, and the water we drink, posing risks of inflammation, hormonal imbalance, and potential organ harm. Plastic has become one of the most useful inventions

At first glance, it might not seem like people have much in common with deer. But a strange discovery about how their antlers regenerate is lifting the lid on the unseen ways that our bodies work, too.     Biologist Chunyi Li, who has long studied deer in north-east China, noticed something odd that happened when the animals regrew their antlers each

(Credit: Intelligent Living) Over the past three decades, India has transformed its cardiac and organ transplant ecosystem from a developing healthcare segment into one of the most dynamic transplant programs globally. What was once limited by regulatory gaps and infrastructure challenges is now supported by national legislation, institutional frameworks, specialized surgical training, and rapidly expanding

Shutterstock The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) has unveiled an advanced device that keeps organs alive outside the body to ensure it remains in a stable condition until transplantation. It’s said to be a gamechanger for organ donation, aiming to improve surgical success, reduce rejection and complications and expand the transplant pool and improving
