Researchers at the University of Bristol are part of a team which has grown red blood cells in a laboratory and has also conducted the world’s first clinical trial by transfusing the blood cells into another person.

Researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) are leading ground-breaking global trials which could save lives by changing how we treat cancer in the near future. They found that adding an mRNA vaccine tailored to suit an individual’s tumour genetics to common immunotherapy significantly improves survival and disease recurrence rates among people who’d had high-risk skin cancers removed.

Researchers at the Northwestern University have revealed that getting better sleep can improve a person’s cardiovascular health. They have also mentioned that sleep is closely linked with weight, blood pressure, blood sugar and even what we choose to eat.

High blood pressure is treated by the diuretic drug which can increase the risk of developing diabetes. Researches have now found out the cause behind this development and at the same time also shared new information on diabetes.

Cyclone researchers have stated that the number and intensity of Atlantic tropical storms will increase in the presence of a warming climate. They have also mentioned that it could potentially lead to the development of stronger hurricanes.

Scientists have found that ‘mechanoresilient’ cancer cells which are resilient to mechanical stress multiply rapidly, have the potential to form secondary tumors and are also drug resistant.

Scientists have recently achieved a breakthrough in protein variant detection by making use of the nanopore technology. The method has the potential to change the way in which protein variants are understood and associated with diseases.

Researchers at the University of Turku have conducted a study to test two methods for reducing nest predation and protecting endangered ground-nesting birds. The findings of the study revealed that red foxes can be more easily tricked into not eating bird eggs than raccoon dogs.

Scientists have explored the hearing of Anopheles mosquitoes and its impact on their mating behavior. Published in Nature Communications, the study found that the neurotransmitter octopamine is vital for mosquito hearing and consequently their reproduction.

A major goal of chemistry is to produce amines from ammonia and unsaturated hydrocarbons in a simple way. Moreover, during catalytic addition, in which ammonia is activated and then transferred, no waste is produced, making it particularly sustainable. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have now come a step closer to this goal.
