1 - the first artificial womb:
The womb, which was developed at the Children's Hospital in Philadelphia, United States, is still in use. The uterus, which has been developed at the Children's Hospital in Philadelphia, USA, continues to grow at the level of the lungs and other organs. Needs about 10 years to use in hospitals.
2 - drug targeting Alzheimer's:
Researchers at Japan's Tohoku University are developing a drug that could become the first drug to treat Alzheimer's disease called SAK3, which stimulates the brain to produce acetylcholine, which improves cognition and memory and reduces the levels of sticky plaques in the brain called Beta-amyloid protein, accumulates in the brain, decades before the onset of Alzheimer's symptoms.
- New Human Member:
Researchers at the University Hospital "Limerick" in Denmark revealed a new member of the body, bringing the number of human organs to 79. The new member called "Mesentery", and was previously thought to be part of the structure of the digestive system, while in fact a member Independent, which opens the door to new horizons in the field of medical sciences. Medical students are now taught "Mesrak" as an independent, and the famous medical book "Griz Anatomy" redefined according to the new discovery. - Biological clock:
Sharing the Nobel Prize in Medicine for 2017 American scientists Jeffrey Hall, Michael Rospach and Michael Young, by revealing how the human body's biological clock worked and revealed the research conducted by the three scientists on fruit flies, how the feedback movement of molecules was time-sensitive and adaptable. Geoffrey Hall and Michael Rospach are part of DNA, called the Period Gene, and play a role in the rhythm of the biological clock. Michael Young discovered another gene called "double-time" that helped adjust the levels of a gene called " AR with a full 24-hour day course.
5 - erase the painful memories:
Scientists at the University of Toronto in Canada have come up with a way to erase the painful memories of human brains, in good news for those who have suffered psychological trauma still stuck in their minds.
Researchers have relied on excessive protein production in the brain, triggering nerve cells that produce bad memories. But British scientists have warned that it involves moral complications, as it will prevent humans from learning from the mistakes they made.
6- Industrial blood:
British scientists have made significant progress toward producing artificial blood in the laboratory in large quantities, which gives hope to save many people who need blood from donors, especially rare blood groups. The laboratory blood production depends on the use of a particular type of stem cells, which produces red blood cells in the body But this stem cell burns before it exceeds 50,000 red blood cells. However, the new method, developed by researchers at the University of Bristol, British, depends on the blockage of the stem cell responsible for blood production is at an early stage of Growth and transplantation, to produce Totalizer infinite stem cells, which scientists say that making these cells "are not to die." - The first drug to treat rare skin cancer:
The new treatment, called Avelumab, treats metastatic skin cancer, the most severe type of skin tumor, which spreads under the skin. Also. - Child from "father and mother":
The British Fertility and Embryology Commission has given the first approval in the country to doctors in Newcastle to have a three-member baby (father and mother) to fight deadly genetic diseases. Doctors said the technique would prevent mitochondria, Causing children with muscle weakness, blindness, deafness, learning disabilities, diabetes, heart failure, and liver. The disease is often fatal.
Artificial eye retina:
Scientists from the Italian Institute of Technology have been able to develop and cultivate an artificial retina of the eye that can help millions of people recover their eyes. The research team can develop an artificial mesh consisting of a thin layer of polymer-based, silk-based material covered with a layer of semiconductor polymer. Light and translated into electrical pulses, sensitive by the damaged nerves of the retina to reach the brain.
10 - The first drug to treat cancer with genetic markers:
The US Food and Drug Administration has adopted a drug that is the first of its kind to treat cancer on the basis of biological genetic markers, not according to the type of organ in which the tumor is spread. The new drug is called "Keytruda," and treats both adults and young people from solid tumors identified on the basis of Biological markers, works on the proteins found in the immune cells of the body and some cancer cells.
11 - The first artificial mesh for the eye of soft materials:
Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed the world's first artificial eye mesh, made of soft materials in the world, much like the natural retina, giving hope to those suffering from vision problems. The new retina is made to look like a camera, "It detects and interacts with light to give a gray image. The retina can treat blindness caused by retinal degeneration or malformation due to retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic disease that causes retinal atrophy and progressive loss of vision.
12 - test to detect 13 types of cancer:
Researchers at the Japan National Cancer Center have developed a new test that can diagnose 13 different cancers, using one drop of blood.
