Scientists have developed a pill that mimics the effect of physical exercise
Scientists from Aarhus University in Denmark have unveiled an innovative pill that can mimic the positive effects of physical activity. Although it does not promise to make a person more endurance or faster, the drug can significantly improve overall health and reduce hunger.
The pill contains a molecule called LaKe, which preliminary evidence suggests has similar health effects as a 10-km run at a fast pace. It mimics the body's natural metabolic response to fasting and exercise. This results in increased levels of lactate and ketones in the body, which serve as an energy source for cells, while reducing free fatty acids in the blood and suppressing appetite.
Research suggests that the drug may also improve concentration and help treat serious conditions such as Parkinson's disease and dementia. Human trials have already begun.

Scientists from China have developed smart stitches to speed healing
Researchers from Dunhua University in China have unveiled innovative surgical sutures that can significantly speed up the wound healing process. They generate an electrical charge when stretched, improving tissue regeneration.
The sutures are made of bioabsorbable materials, eliminating the need for surgical removal after healing. Scientists used a specialized mechanoelectric fiber for the projec
