The perfect steak? Researchers create lab-grown meat with better taste and made-to-order marbling
HAMILTON, Ontario Usually when you go to a steakhouse, the waiter asks how you’d like your meat cooked. Researchers from McMaster University say they may soon be asking how you’d like your steak “tuned.” The team has developed a new form of lab-grown meat that they say has a more natural taste and texture than other alternative meats.
Not only does their creation give more of that “real meat” experience, the study finds this new approach also allows the eater to have the exact amount of fat content and marbling they want in that particular cut of “meat.”
New Drug Delivery System Reduces Side Effects Of Anti-Psychotics by Pooja Shete on January 20, 2021 at 12:30 AM
A team of neuroscientists and engineers have created a nasal spray to deliver antipsychotic medication directly to the brain instead of having it to pass through the body.
Antipsychotics are used for the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and other conditions. The nasal spray delivery system will reduce the doses of powerful antipsychotic medications by three quarters. This will
reduce the side effects significantly and also the frequency of the required treatment.
The study conducted at McMaster University is published in
Journal of Controlled Release.
New nasal spray delivers antipsychotic medication directly to the brain
A team of neuroscientists and engineers at McMaster University has created a nasal spray to deliver antipsychotic medication directly to the brain instead of having it pass through the body.
The leap in efficiency means patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and other conditions could see their doses of powerful antipsychotic medications cut by as much as three quarters, which is expected to spare them from sometimes-debilitating side effects while also significantly reducing the frequency of required treatment.
The new method delivers medication in a spray that reaches the brain directly through the nose, offering patients greater ease of use and the promise of improved quality of life, including more reliable, effective treatment.
