Obesity Leading to Preventable, Premature Death
Obesity prevalence is the primary cause of metabolic issues that lead to preventable and premature death. The rate of obesity has increased since 2017 from 30.5% to 41.9%. Additionally, the rates of severe obesity have almost doubled from 4.7% to 9.2%, with an annual medical cost of approximately 173 billion US dollars. While caloric restriction […]
Transplanted Human Cortical Organoids
Transplanted Human Cortical Organoids One of the largest hurdles in the advancement of medicinal sciences is its applicability to heal or cure. Numerous strides have been made in order to close this gap by revolutionizing the mouse animal model. The ability of the animal to contain any human-derived cells or tissue used for therapeutic drug […]

Those lucky enough to come back from a near-death experience have described a white light or an out-of-body experience. Unfortunately, the actual molecular and neuronal processes of a dying brain have not been […]
AI to Solve the Misfolded Protein Riddle
Using AI to Solve the Misfolded Protein Riddle One of the most daunting challenges in drug discovery is finding drugs for proteins that misfold. The primary drug design objective is for a small drug molecules to be able to enter an active site and block an enzyme’s or ion channel’s normal function, inhibiting its action […]
Insulin Delivery Using Stem Cells
New Method for Insulin Delivery Using Stem Cells There are many types of diabetes mellitus including juvenile-onset diabetes (type 1), adult-onset diabetes (type 2), and diabetes during pregnancy (gestational diabetes). The underlying mechanism of all diabetes is dysfunctional or non-existent excretion of insulin from the islet cells of the pancreas or insulin insensitivity at the […]
