Cell’s Nucleus Behavior Can Help Treat Cancer

A research-intensive University of Texas, TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY, study shows that the cell nucleus is more like a drop of liquid rather than a rubber ball, which was previously thought. It was believed in the past that the cell’s nucleus was elastic like a rubber ball, changing its shape regularly and going back to its original shape as the cell navigated through tiny little pores inside the human body.

Monkeypox Virus Can Spread To Everybody Through Close Contact.

Infectious Diseases specialists have ruled out the claim that Monkeypox is a sexually transmitted disease among Gay Men only. The claim has been classified as wrong and unscientific. Recently Infectious disease specialists told USA TODAY that Monkeypox can infect anyone and the assumption that it only infects specifically gay men is wrong and based upon unsound reasoning. 

China Discovers Another Deadly Virus

According to reports, a potentially deadly new virus has been found in China and is thought to have been transmitted from shrews (small mole-like mammals) to people.

WHO Declares MonkeyPox A Global Health Emergency

The World Health Organization has declared the growing monkeypox outbreak the ‘Public Health Emergency of International Concern’-the highest alert level. The designation means that the WHO now sees monkeypox as an important enough threat to global health that a coordinated international response is required to prevent the further spreading of the virus and its escalation into a pandemic.

MonkeyPox Is Getting Out Of Control In The US

Reports of MonkeyPox are multiplying around the world and the United States. Worldwide, there have been over 10,000 cases reported of viral illness, including more than 1,400 in the U.S. alone. And so far, mass vaccination efforts in early hot spots like New York City have been stymied by website crashes and low supply.

Pig Hearts Transplanted Into Dead People

Researchers successfully transplanted genetically modified pig hearts into two recently deceased people connected to ventilators, the New York University team announced on July 12, 2022. The surgeries were the latest step forward in the field of animal-to-human transplants, or xenotransplantation, which has seen a flurry of successes so far this year — raising hopes for a new, steady supply of organs to ease shortages.

Relieve Pain Without Drugs

Researchers developed a new type of pain relief that involves wrapping a small strip of material around nerves to prevent them from sending pain signals to the brain. If this prototype passes all necessary safety and experimental tests, it could one day replace toxic opioids for patients suffering from chronic pain.

Antiviral Facemask That Kills Viruses

Traditional face masks, including N95s and KN95s, offer protection against illness and infection but must be disposed of once they come in contact with viruses, thus generating significant plastic waste. So now, researchers have developed a simple method that would give N95 face masks antiviral and antibacterial properties, which could allow them to be worn for longer durations.

MonkeyPox Is Evolving At An ‘Accelerated’ Rate

Researchers investigating the genetic make-up of the MonkeyPox virus have said the virus appears to have mutated far, far more than would normally be expected and has undergone a period of “accelerated evolution”. So far 50 new mutations of the MonkeyPox Virus have been found.
