Credit: Science Photo Library/Getty Images Flu could one day be detected through the tastebuds, following the development of a test that produces a Mediterranean herb flavor when the virus is present. The low-tech sensor releases the flavor of thyme and could be built into a gum, lozenge, or lollipop to rapidly screen anyone, anywhere at any time without the need for labs or specialist personnel. This would crucially help prevent the spread of flu when people are contagious but before symptoms appear, which is key to preventing future pandemics. “This strategy opens up new possibilities for the early detection and…

Summer is hot. Even getting up from the couch can cause beads of sweat to form on the skin.

You can always be judged by your scars. This is the idea that sums up what researchers at Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) claim is one of the new breakthroughs in basic and biomedical research, in their release of the “human REPAIRome.” The CNIO team, led by Felipe Cortés-Ledesma, PhD, head of the CNIO’s DNA Topology and DNA Breaks group, has identified and catalogued 20,000 types of scars that remain in repaired human DNA after a double-stranded break (DSB). They’ve called the resource the human REPAIRome—and have made the data available to the global scientific community through the human…

Psilocybin reversed chronic pain and psychiatric symptoms in mice.Image credit:©istock.com, microgenPeople who live with chronic pain also often experience psychiatric disorders, like depression or anxiety, complicating the treatment of both conditions. Although many of the same brain regions are suspected to be affected in pain and mood disorders, researchers have not been able to treat these simultaneously so far.1-3In a study published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers from the University of Pennsylvania showed that a single dose of psilocybin, a compound with psychoactive properties, improved symptoms of both chronic pain and depressive and anxiety-like behaviors in mice.4 The researchers explored two…
