Electrical energy can be produced from blood sugar: Study
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
The researchers have combined the fuel cell with artificial beta cells developed by their group several years ago. These produced insulin at the touch of a button and effectively lower blood glucose levels much like their natural role models in the pancreas.

Study reveals how microbiome might affect pancreatic cancer outcomes
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Despite advances in pancreatic cancer treatment, only around 9% of patients live beyond five years. Researchers have failed to identify genetic distinctions that explain why some patients live for a long time and others do not, so they have moved their focus to the gut microbiome.

New medicine found for treatment of heart failure, sleep apnea: Study
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
The drug, known as AF-130, was tested in an animal model at Waipapa Taumata Rau, the University of Auckland where researchers found it improved the heart's ability to pump, but, equally important, prevented sleep apnoea, which itself reduces lifespan (see Nature Communications).
