There are three main proteins found in blood: hemoglobin, albumin, and globulin. These proteins are responsible for ensuring our bodies function properly; mutations of these proteins can lead to serious diseases.
Allergies are the result of an overreactive immune system that triggers many of the annoying allergy symptoms. Current treatments include medication, allergy shots, and home remedies. Fortunately, gene therapy is a promising potential treatment for allergies. This simple infographic summarizes the causes and treatment of allergies.
Many people suffer from allergies that gets worse during allergy season. Allergens can come in multiple forms – from dust to pollen to food. Allergies comes from an overreactive immune system that interacts with the proteins on allergens and triggers symptoms. Current treatment options consists of medication, allergy shots, and simple home remedies – such as cleaning the house, using humidifiers, and staying hydrated. Fortunately, there is recent research on gene therapy that may be able to help get rid of allergies once and for all.
This simple infographic sums up 10 recent medical discoveries that can help revolutionize the medical industry. As technology continues to improve, researchers are finding new methods and gaining more insights to improve prevention, diagnostic, and treatment capabilities to improve well-being.
With brilliant minds working hard to advance forward in the medical industry, we’ve reached some amazing breakthroughs that can help improve well-being. Some of the recent discoveries and inventions include the digital chemotherapy pill, understanding of cancer-causing proteins, discovering a cellular process that can help stop cancer, finding that muscle protein can aid in nerve regeneration, activating cells’ ability to heal themselves, finding proteins that can affect brain diseases, discovering proteins that can help combat aging, restoring memory, developing blood test to predict Alzheimer’s, and creating a new technology to discover pancreatic cancer at an earlier stage.
With changing times and increasing technology, the life sciences industry is also facing changes. 3 trends to expect this year is augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and globalization. While these have already taken place, they will likely take the front stage and have a bigger impact than in the past. Augmented reality can be used to project 3D models to help people better understand complex problems and can be an important tool for professionals, researchers, and students. AI can be used in drug development and can process more information in a shorter amount of time speeding up the process. Companies are expanding beyond borders and the spread of information can help advance research.
