  • Is Science Close To Creating Immortal Humans?

    The key to living a long life? Chip Walter says it’s more about having less ‘bad’ genes rather than having more ‘good’ ones. But as we inch closer to finding immortality, there are some questions to be answered, such as “should we even be able to live hundreds of years?”

  • Celebrity Deaths & Political Poisonings: Inside Forensic Toxicology

    Why do autopsy reports take so long to come back? While TV shows can make it seem like a two-step process, forensic toxicology can take weeks or months to figure out a person’s cause of death. Our expert takes us through this process and how it’s used in everyday life.

  • Medical Notes: Why Parents Should Be More Selfish, How Scientists Are Creating Lab-Made Muscle, And Do Concussions Lead To Suicidal Thoughts?
    Can we stop the progression of pancreatic cancer?

    Pancreatic cancer is expected to be the second leading cause of cancer deaths by 2030. It spreads quickly and is hard to manage due to the tumor’s unique biological makeup. However, an investigation in Cell Reports revealed the tumor’s genetic changes as it spreads through the body. This new information has led to the discovery of an experimental drug that could halt this process and stop the cancer from migrating (University of Rochester).

    Is it time for parents to be selfish?

    In the early days of parenting, there’s many sleepless nights, forgotten meals, and sick days that we power through because our children need us…but neglecting our own well being may actually be hurting our kids. A study published in Frontiers In Psychology has found that young kids with fathers who have mild anxious or depression symptoms report fewer behavioral difficulties and better scores on a standardized IQ test. More research is needed to reveal the factors that connect these two observations (McGill University).

    Science is taking muscle repair to the next level

    Skeletal muscles are one of the most regenerative organ systems we have, but when faced with something more serious, our body could use some help. Research published in Nature Cell Biology has identified a key gene used in muscle repair that brings us one step closer to lab-made muscles. The scientists hope to move this research into fixing rotator cuff tears, before advancing into more difficult challenges, like genetic muscular diseases (UC Irvine).

    Concussions may trigger mental health issues

    A study published in the Journal of Athletic Training studied how this brain injury is connected to suicide. Researchers found that male teens who’ve had two or more concussions in the past year are more likely to report having suicidal thoughts, planning, and attempts than male teens with one or no concussions. The risk of suicidal behavior seems to be the same for female teens regardless of brain injury (University of Michigan).

  • “It's A Critical Age”: Why Young Kids Should Be Involved In Stem

    Research shows that children involved in STEM courses, like engineering and science, have better reading comprehension and are more likely to be successful later in life. One national science fair is helping to keep kids, like award-winner Shanya Gill, interested in these industries and foster their passion for science.

  • Can Acupuncture Help Patients Recover From Open Heart Surgery?

    Since the heart is part of a larger system in our body, treating cardiac conditions means healing the full person instead of just the one organ. Dr. Kim Feingold, a cardiac psychologist, has researched the use of acupuncture therapy as an integrative approach to treating cardiac patients. She explains her findings and how this needle stimulation may aid in recovery from open heart surgery.
