BORK has released AVALON massage capsule.

A distinctive feature is that the capsule massages not only the body, but also the brain: BORK engineers, with the help of neuroscientists, have implemented the Brain Massage function. Binaural beats affect the brain and provide its concentration or relaxation, depending on the selected program.

Gene therapy for HIV has been introduced to humans for the first time.

This is the first genetic drug against HIV, which was invented 40 years after the discovery of the disease and which is not a vaccine. Moreover, for the first time such serious tests are carried out not on monkeys, but on humans. The new technique allows you to edit the genes, thus removing the DNA of the virus from infected cells. Thus, therapy completely destroys the infection in the patient's body.

American scientists have created insulin from genetically modified lettuce.

It contains three peptides from a natural hormone. It will be possible to take the substance orally - without injections. This will make life easier for people with diabetes.

The European Court of Justice ordered Pfizer to publish internal documents on the side effects of the Covid vaccine.

Only from December 19, 2021 to June 18, 2022 was registered: • 73,542 vascular diseases • 696,508 diseases of the nervous system • 61,518 eye diseases • 47,000 ear diseases • 225,000 skin and tissue diseases • 178,000 reproductive disorders. • 190,000 respiratory diseases • 77,000 mental disorders • 127,000 heart diseases • 100,000 blood diseases • 3711 tumors In total - 1.6 million side effects in 10 thousand categories associated with every single organ. And after all, these are only people who went to the hospital and managed to be included in the statistics.

An American pharmaceutical startup sent the first factory satellite into space.

The spacecraft is intended for the production of drugs in microgravity - it will launch the experimental development of a drug for HIV. The satellite will spend a little over a month in orbit at an altitude of more than 1000 kilometers, after which it will return to Earth.

Contraceptives can cause depression in women.

Taking birth control pills is associated with an increased risk of depression in women - it is rising by 92%. For those who started drinking drugs in adolescence - by 130%. These conclusions were reached by Swedish scientists during the analysis of data from 250,000 women.

Cannabis lovers are less likely to damage the liver, Chinese doctors found.

Cannabis users are 25% less likely to develop hepatic steatosis, a disease associated with the accumulation of fat in the organ. Those who have smoked marijuana at least once in their lives have a 7% lower risk compared to those who have never used cannabis. These conclusions were reached by Chinese doctors during a study involving 2.6 thousand people, more than half of whom used cannabis. The results can be explained by the peculiarities of the work of the endocannabinoid system.

In Poland, they created a T-shirt for monitoring the work of the heart.

The Silesian University of Technology has created a T-shirt that conducts 24-hour ECG monitoring - assesses the state of the heart throughout the day. It can be washed and reused many times. The heartbeat is monitored in real time by a superconductive material on the inside of a T-shirt. It replaces traditional chest electrodes and a special device that people are forced to wear for daily monitoring.

The blogger made a mug that will protect against intoxication.

The mug won't let you sip alcohol until you drink plain water. Thus, the guy hopes to maintain the water balance in the body and protect himself from rapid intoxication.

Scientists have found that a drink with a toxic taste can prolong life.

It's all about taurine, which is part of the drink. It turned out that this component slows down aging, and also suppresses depression and anxiety disorders. Mice were chosen as experimental subjects: they were given ordinary food, but with the addition of taurine - as a result, the life expectancy of females increased by 12%, and that of males by 10%. In human years, this is 7-8 years.

Biologists have identified a mixture of bacteria and viruses that helps people live longer.

Biologists from Copenhagen studied 176 Japanese centenarians who reached the age of 100 years or more. All of them had a mixture of bacteria and viruses in their gastrointestinal tract. It is likely that the composition of the microbiome is one of the reasons why some people live longer than others. They are better protected from diseases associated with aging. These findings could be used to extend the lifespan of others by changing the microbiome to an optimal balance of viruses and bacteria.

Daily use of a new pill, Tagrisso, reduces the risk of death from lung cancer by 50%.

According to The New England Journal of Medicine, almost a thousand patients with lung cancer took part in the experiment for 5 years, and the drug fully justified the claimed properties.

Obesity increases the risk of developing mental disorders.

It turned out that in the vast majority of cases, the diagnosis of obesity precedes the development of mental problems. At the same time, women have a higher risk of getting sick than men, with the exception of dependence on nicotine. According to the rules of the World Health Organization, the diagnosis of obesity is put on people with a body mass index of more than 30.

The scientists managed to "hack" the cells.

Scientists have managed to "hack" the cells of mice and force them to produce insulin when sugar levels rise. Thus, the mice were cured of diabetes. In the coming years, they will try to test this technology on people.

The researcher lived at the bottom of the ocean for 93 days and became 10 years younger.

Joseph Dituri spent more than three months living in a 100-square-meter capsule in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean - in this way, scientists studied the positive effects of pressure on the human body. The results are impressive: Joseph's telomeres, which are responsible for the youthfulness of cells and shorten with age, lengthened by 20%, and the number of stem cells increased 10 times. In addition, inflammatory markers were halved and cholesterol levels were greatly reduced.

Junk food changes brain activity and interferes with sleep.

Even short-term consumption of foods high in fat, salt, or sugar alters brain activity and impairs sleep. In people, the proportion of delta rhythms decreases, because of this they do not sleep so deeply, and the body recovers worse after a working day.

Octopus ink has been found to cure cancer.

Mexican scientists have discovered a molecule in the ink of common octopuses that destroys tumors without harming healthy cells. It was synthesized artificially and named ozopromide (ozopromide). The new molecule slowed down the growth and reproduction of tumor cells, which caused them to die en masse. Their number was halved, while healthy cells were not damaged by ozopromide. Perhaps, on its basis, it will be possible to create more benign methods of treating cancer.

The original way to fight smoking.

Sports organization RSEQ has released an AR filter for TikTok that shows the effects of smoking by changing your appearance. This is how Canadians want to discourage teenagers from smoking.

In Canada, warnings about the dangers of smoking will be printed on every single cigarette.

The new rules are part of the Government of Canada's ongoing efforts to help smokers quit, protect youth and non-users from nicotine addiction, and further reduce the appeal of tobacco. The labeling of individual cigarettes would make it almost impossible to completely avoid health warnings.
