In recent years, the use of colloidal silver to treat certain diseases has spread, but its intake is prohibited in some countries such as the US, as it can be harmful to health.
A team of scientists from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis (USA) has succeeded in converting human skin cells into a specific type of brain cell without using stem cells in the process. The work has been published in the journal Neuron.
A team of researchers from the Universities of Granada, Jaén, Málaga (Spain) and Miami (USA) has succeeded in showing that the very cells of the blood of patients who have suffered a myocardial infarction are capable of restoring damaged heart tissue.

Touch is perhaps the sense that usually goes unnoticed, but science does not pay less attention to it. The mystery of why we are able to appreciate such subtle changes from one object to another seems to have been solved thanks to recent research from Columbia University.
A team of engineers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has managed to design living materials (biofilms or biofilms) that can incorporate non-living materials such as quantum dots or gold nanoparticles. All from bacterial cells. The work has been published in the journal Nature Materials.
A team of scientists from the University of California and the Gladstone Institute in the US has achieved a milestone in cell reprogramming: transforming skin cells into functional cells for the liver. The results have been published in the journal Nature.
The answer is yes. How do they do that? The recycling process in plants is called endocytosis and is based on the movement of molecules into the cell. Now, thanks to a team of scientists led by the VIB institute (The Flanders Institute for Biotechnology), the University of Ghent (Belgium), and the Max Planck Institute (Germany), a new complex of adapter proteins has been identified, essential in this process and found only in plants. The results of the study have been published in the journal Cell.
