Diabetes affects how the body uses glucose, also known as blood sugar. It can mean that there is too much sugar in the blood. This can harm people in several ways. One serious complication is chronic kidney disease. Ivan ...
Medical Xpress / Redheads face impaired wound healing: MC1R dysregulation to blame, but a new treatment might help
Chronic wounds (CWs), like diabetic ulcers or pressure sores, are a major health care challenge, especially in the elderly. These wounds, marked by persistent inflammation, often lead to infection and poor patient outcomes. ...
Phys.org / Satellite mapping reveals rapid shifts in Antarctic glacier grounding lines
A University of Houston scientist has teamed with international partners to examine how Antarctica's massive glaciers are shifting and how that could predict sea level changes. Their latest collaboration offers the most precise ...
Phys.org / 3D printing: The future of food
In a perfect world, people would have easy access to fresh fruits and vegetables at affordable prices. They would not live in food deserts and 30% to 40% of food produced in the U.S. would not be lost annually through overproduction, ...
