Medical Research - A Hope for the Future

Posted by John, Volunteer Mentor @johnbishop, Jan 15, 2019

Sometimes it's easy to focus on the negative aspects of health conditions when you know there is no cure for a condition and there are only treatments to control or alleviate the symptoms. One of the things I like to do is look to the future and hope that someday a researcher will come up with a cure or better treatment. Today I ran across an interesting article that holds some hope for a lot of us.

Shuttling Through Inner Space:
Complex medical issues like transplants, kidney disease, and cancer may be helped by knowing more about how cells communicate.

What research have you found that interests or motivates you?

thank you...I'll make a post here soon... I've always been of one, that like to Link peer review articles... The people can read the source of the in formation for themselves... The links have always been a big part of my research and meta-analysis which usually consists of hundreds of articles and if I'm not reading I'm in the lab so now I have thousands of peer review articles... Now luckily here I will only post several pertaining to small individual research articles no more than 3 to 4 per post.... When I'm at the lab at my other computer I will post... I have articles online and off.... in the article are located many different computers and laptops it's hard to keep up where one article or research paper is located at lol....

Very promising! I’m glad to see this partnership. So many conditions are so complex that there’s no doubt a need for super modeling capabilities to help increase the chances of finding causes, optimal treatments, and hopefully more cures for a lot of complicated medical areas. It will be interesting to see how quickly this might develop and expand. It certainly looks promising!
