According to a new study by scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine, drinking at least one cup of coffee per day may lower the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) compared to those who don’t.Research has linked coffee drinking to a lower risk of acute renal damage.If you needed more justification to start your day with a cup of joe, a new study by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers found that drinking at least one cup of coffee daily may lower the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) as compared to those who don’t.The results,…

Zebrafish are marvelous creatures. Not only are they completely see-through, but they can also grow new organs. We already knew these translucent little fish could regenerate retinal tissue in their eyes – now new research shows how zebrafish can revive heart tissue after injury.  "We wanted to find out how this little fish does that, and if we could learn from it," says developmental biologist and study author Jan Philipp Junker of the Berlin Institute for Medical Systems Biology in Germany.Published in Nature Genetics,…

A drug under investigation as a cancer treatment has shown exciting promise in a rather different branch of medical research, with scientists demonstrating how it can promote nerve repair following spinal injury. The breakthrough shows how the drug acts on a DNA damage response mechanism at play in both these unrelated conditions, and triggers a "remarkable" recovery in mice with injured spinal cords. Led by scientists at the University of Birmingham, the research focused on an experimental drug called AZD1390. This drug…

On July 13, Demi Lovato had a bad accident. The artist, who is 29 years old, used TikTok to demonstrate a wound that required stitches right over their left eye. The pop star showed the cut to followers in a video with the amusing TikTok audio, “Nobody’s gonna know/They’re gonna know/How would they know?” despite the fact that it appeared to hurt and must have been uncomfortable. Demi started the video out by covering one brow and turning some of their head away from the camera. They withdrew their hand while the audio…

The introduction of Proteus comes 10 years after Amazon’s acquisition of Kiva Systems, which became Amazon Robotics. Kiva robots carry up to 1,000 pounds of customer orders from storage to human pickers, but operate in a part of the warehouse where humans cannot go.Strategic Organizing Center’s health and safety director Eric Frumin says Amazon’s promotion of a new robot that avoids running into people is a distraction from the primary causes of injuries in its facilities.“Amazon has a fabulous capacity for creating new…

We know the brain changes after traumatic injury, and now we have maps from mice showing what that change looks like.A team of scientists has traced connections between nerve cells throughout the entire brain of mice, showing that distant parts of the brain become disconnected after a head injury.  The stunning visualizations of brain-wide connectivity could help scientists understand how a traumatic brain injury, or TBI, alters cross-talk between different cells and brain regions, first in mice and then in humans."We've…

The researchers showed that the systemic administration of the new drug alters neurobehavior in mice, reducing anxiety-like behavior. It also provides a promising landscape for future studies to assess whether the drug could help combat stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, cancer, and neurodegeneration.The preclinical drug works by inhibiting the kinase Cdk5 which is found in mature neurons. Cdk5 has long been linked to neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders, but prior inhibitors have largely failed to cross…
