The study marks a stepping stone towards the long-term goal of regenerating human limbs after amputation—and could one day even give snakes back their legs. In a collaborative study, researchers from Kyushu University and Harvard Medical School have identified proteins that can turn or “reprogram” fibroblasts — the most commonly found cells in skin and connective tissue — into cells with similar properties to limb progenitor cells. Publishing in Developmental Cell, the researchers’ findings have enhanced our understanding of limb development and have set the stage for regenerative therapy in the future. Globally, close to 60 million people are living…

I’ve always thought homemade versions of classic recipes taste much better than store-bought versions. Cranberry sauce is a perfect example of this.

Now I have a whole list of healthy Christmas and Thanksgiving recipes. These re-invented new recipes feature whole food ingredients, little prep, and much less sugar. You won’t even miss the canned stuff! The Best Cranberry Sauce (Naturally Sweetened) Most homemade cranberry sauce recipes call for a lot of sugar……

Evaporation is a natural process so ubiquitous that most of us take it for granted. In fact, roughly half of the solar energy that reaches the earth drives evaporative processes. Since 2017, researchers have been working to harness the energy potential of evaporation via the hydrovoltaic (HV) effect, which allows electricity to be harvested when fluid is passed over the charged surface of a nanoscale device. Evaporation establishes a continuous flow within nanochannels inside these devices, which act as passive pumping mechanisms. This effect is also seen in the microcapillaries of plants, where water transport occurs thanks to a combination…

All’s fine if I’m throwing things into a…

I’ve been using this Ayurvedic oral health practice off and on for years, and I’ve seen noticeable effects. It was one of the tools I used to remineralize my teeth and reverse tooth decay. Although it’s somewhat controversial, oil pulling has existed for thousands of years. The practice not only offers health benefits for our mouths, but in caring for our mouths, we’re caring for our bodies. Oral health goes beyond the health of our teeth and gums. (Listen to this amazing podcast…
