Scientists identify potential cause of statin-related muscle pain
Moderate exercise an antidote to most common statin side effect. An international team of BHF-funded researchers may have discovered why some people experience muscle pain after taking statins.
Antiseptic resistance in bacteria could lead to next-gen plastics
The molecular machinery used by ‘superbugs’ to resist chemicals designed to kill them could also help produce precursors for a new generation of nylon and other polymers, according to new research.
Ear ‘tickle’ therapy could help slow ageing
Tickling the ear with a small electrical current appears to rebalance the autonomic nervous system for over-55s, potentially slowing down one of the effects of ageing, according to new research.
