Global Hackathon for Finding Solutions for Challenges of Medical Education

Scientists at University College London have created a new type of ice, called medium-density amorphous ice that matches the density and structure of water. This new discovery may lead to the ability to study water’s mysterious properties. The ice was created by shaking regular ice in a container with centimetre-wide stainless-steel balls at temperatures of […]

Researchers from Duke-NUS Medical School, the Singapore Eye Research Institute, and the Karolinska Institute have developed a method to produce photoreceptor progenitor cells, the light-detecting cells found in the eye, from stem cells and then transplanted them into experimental models with damaged retinas. The preclinical study showed significant vision recovery, potentially marking the first step […]

A comprehensive study involving over 23,000 individuals in South Korea reveals a 16% higher likelihood of depressive symptoms among those with commutes exceeding an hour, compared to those with shorter journeys. Analyzing data from the Fifth Korean Working Condition Survey, researchers noted this association, emphasizing potential links between extended commuting and poor mental health. Factors […]
