Unlike traditional candles, they do not burn, making them a cleaner, safer, smoke-free, and supposedly non-toxic alternative.

Inhaling these particles has been associated with health risks such as asthma and atherosclerosis.

This discovery could possibly lead to treating liver failure without transplants.
A research team at the University of Illinois, Chicago and the University of Pennsylvania have developed a new and unique technique which uses flexible implantable bone stabilizing plates and stem cells to speed healing of bone defects or large breaks.
As we age brain stiffness increases which leads to stem cell dysfunction. New research has demonstrated new ways to reverse this aging process in older stem cells into a younger and healthier state
New findings about how the aging process works may pave the way to better treatments and revolutionary new medications that could immensely improve human health.
