3D print on mars

We could soon achieve 3D printing on mars.

It seems that a little Martian dust can go a long way. A strong, high-performance material was generated by mixing a little amount of artificially crushed Martian rock with a titanium alloy.

This material may one day be used on Mars for 3D printing tools

vision

A startling finding shows how an adult brain can recover vision from inherited blindness.

Our grasp of the abilities of the brain has grown as a result of the discovery of a method by which some visually impaired adults can restore their vision. The adult brain may be able to recover from congenital blindness, say specialists at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine and School of Biological Sciences. Current Biology published a report on their discoveries.

rugby

According to a new study, dementia may be up to 15 times more likely to affect former rugby players.

Researchers from the University of Glasgow compared the health outcomes of 412 former Scottish international male rugby players to 1,236 members of the general public across an average of 32 years commencing at the age of 30.

The chance of acquiring a neurodegenerative illness varied depending on the disorder, ranging from 10 to 15 times greater for dementia to slightly more than twice as high for motor neuron disease.

premenstrual mood swings

The frequency and severity of premenstrual mood swings and anxiety should be regarded as a public health crisis, according to researchers.

Premenstrual mood swings and anxiety, which are reported by more than 64% of women, have recently been identified as a “major public health issue” on a global scale.

The majority of women suffer premenstrual symptoms during their menstrual cycle, and these symptoms commonly interfere with their everyday life, according to a UVA Health study.

Regardless of age, mood swings and anxiety are among the most prevalent symptoms, claim the experts.

Blood Brain Barrier

Blood-brain barrier function and damage are now better understood by scientists.

Although the blood-brain barrier has long been recognised as being crucial for tightly regulating which drugs can enter the nervous system, little is known about how the barrier’s cells impact how the nervous system functions.

On August 19, 2022, a new study with Pejmun Haghighi, PhD, a professor at the Buck Institute as the primary author will appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The study shows for the first time that signals from the nerve cells that fruit fly barrier cells protect can directly change how those nerve cells act
