    Pig kidney works in human body for 271 days - is this the future of organ transplants? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A kidney transplanted from a pig has worked inside a patient for 271 days – the longest on record, say US doctors. Tim Andrews said the transplant gave him "hope" and spared him months of needing to go to hospital to have his blood filtered by a dialysis machine. The team at Mass General Brigham hospital say their work shows pig organs can be used as a "bridge" until a human transplant becomes available. But the pig organ eventually failed and was removed so Andrews needed a short bout of dialys

    Men are turning to penis fillers, but are they safe? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Jason didn't want a "Coke can" – that's the nickname for a penis that has been enlarged with so much filler it resembles a stubby drink can. "Some people go really overboard," Jason tells me when we meet in Manchester. His procedure increased the girth of his penis by 16% - an amount he, and his partner, are really happy with. He says it has given him a "self-confidence boost". "Everything still functions" as normal, Jason explains - just with "that extra little bit of width". It is not clear ho

    Artificial Intelligence used to design brand new viruses (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Artificial Intelligence has been used to design brand new viruses that are fully functional and can replicate in the laboratory, say US researchers. It is the first time whole genomes have been successfully designed by AI. The resulting 16 novel viruses were created to infect bacteria and pose no threat to people. The breakthrough has been labelled a "very significant turning point" in science that could unlock a new era for treating disease. But experts have also warned AI-designed viruses rais

    Half of vaccines are binned - this plant could change that (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Vaccines that do not need to be kept cool in a fridge have been successfully trialled in patients for the first time, say UK scientists. Currently, most vaccines need to be refrigerated or frozen - but around half are wasted each year, mainly because they become unusable after getting too hot or too cold. In the trial, which involved 60 volunteers, company Stablepharma converted a liquid tetanus-diphtheria vaccine into a "fridge-free" version by keeping it as a dry powder for a year at room temp

    Limiting sugar before age two linked to better brain health (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Scientists have suggested eating very little sugar up to the age of two may help protect the brain decades later. The research analysed the impact of the end of sugar rationing in the UK which led to a rapid increase in the amount of sugar in people's diets. The results suggest those who were toddlers during sugar rationing had a 23% lower risk of dementia. The study cannot provide definitive proof, but experts say a healthy diet is good for the brain anyway. This is not the first study to sugge
