From Dr Ben Miles. Doctors at Northwestern University kept a 33-year-old man alive for 48 hours without lungs using an artificial lung device that oxygenated his blood outside the body. This life-saving technique served as a bridge to a successful double lung transplant after his lungs were irreversibly damaged by severe infection and ARDS. Source…

From Dr Ben Miles. Scientists have developed the Microscale Optoelectronic Tetherless Electrode (MOTE), the world’s smallest wireless brain implant that records neural activity without batteries or wires. This ultra-miniaturized device uses optoelectronics and light-based communication to stream brain signals continuously for over a year, reducing tissue stress compared to traditional implants.

From Dr Ben Miles. Scientists have discovered that a strain of lactic acid bacteria from kimchi can bind and help remove polystyrene nanoplastics from the gut. In tests with germ-free mice, this probiotic doubled the amount of nanoplastics excreted, showing promise for reducing plastic accumulation in the body.

From Dr Ben Miles. Scientists discovered that a molecule called para-tyramine-O-sulfate (pTOS), produced by gut bacteria in pythons, suppresses appetite while preserving muscle mass. Experiments on mice showed significant reductions in food intake without side effects, pointing to potential new treatments for obesity.
