A study out of Japan showed how targeting genes can regrow teeth in animals. Now, the team has turned to a human clinical trial.

Japan: Humans Have a “Latent” Third Set of Teeth – New Medicine May Help Them Grow By 2030! (17.2.2026)

Teeth are a curious evolutionary life-over from when the average life-expectancy of a human-being was around “20-years-old” or perhaps a little older (early humans used to breed in there early teens due to a very narrow fertility window). However, as human intelligence grew, and human labour made life less difficult – the life-expectancy slowly creeped-up – but teeth development appears to have lagged behind. Far behind – in fact. We can live to 80 – but our teeth give-up the ghost at about 20 – or at least they would without modern dentistry and regular cleaning. Remember – you can die from an infected tooth – so look after yourselves!

Socialist Medicine in Cuba - Free At the Point of Use!

Cuba: Ariannis Turns Her “Cancer” Struggle into a Hope for Life! (5.2.2026)

After receiving the news of her daughter’s illness, Martínez Scull said that she wakes up every day grateful to God for giving her the strength to face her daughter’s condition, which has become her only priority.

Despite the country’s difficulties, this young woman recognized the effort made by the Cuban Health System (delivered “free” at the point of use) to meet Ariannis’ needs, from her transfer from Yumurino territory, to her entire process in the hospital.

She also stressed that although she lacks many resources, she has no words to thank the doctors for the effort they make so that her daughter receives the most effective treatment for her condition.

On a day commemorating World Cancer Day, Cuba does not give up on its intention to ensure the living conditions of its patients, despite the fact that the tightening of the U.S. blockade greatly hinders this high-priority management for the nation.

Che & Fide; - Revolutionary Giants!

Havana: Fidel Castro Explains “Why” the US Wants to Destroy Cuban Socialism! (31.1.2026)

I acquired this wonderful video from the Bronx Anti-War Telegram Channel (linked below). It is remarkable that people like this still exist in the US – but then again the bourgeois warmongers can repress the working-class all they like – but can never permanently silence – or destroy it. Just as long as the capitalists require our labour to earn their riches for them – we will always exist to blight their existence. We patiently watch and wait. Just lately, I have been reading all of Che Guevara’s excellent books preserved in Cuba and actually allowed to be published on the Audible platform. My influences are Lenin, Stalin, Mao, and Ho Chi Mnh – but recently I met a man of Spanish descent and he explained to me about the rich (related) but distinct South American tradition of Socialism. Until then, I viewed this aspect (incorrectly) as merely an amorphous extension of Marxist-Leninism. Reading and studying are the keys to education and breaking-up misconceptions about things.

A device called a cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) pacemaker, can switch the heart’s fuel from sugar to fat after only two minutes, a study has found.

Oxford: CTC Pacemaker Could Help Reverse Heart Failure Symptoms by Switching Heart’s Fuel from Sugar to Fat! (21.1.2026)

Professor Neil Herring, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Oxford, said: “The size of the improvement we’ve seen in the hearts in our study in response to CRT is remarkable. The slowing down of electrical signals in the heart, in some people who have heart failure, may mean the signal for the heart to use fat for fuel is lost, and their heart switches to using glucose instead. A pacemaker restores the “use fat for fuel” message through fixing the signalling problem as it regulates the heart. This then helps the heart to start to recover.

US Gives Billions to Zionist Israel & Neo-Nazi Ukraine - But Wont Cure its Own People!

US: Experts Warn Anti-Vaxxer North America Risks Following Canada & Losing Measles Elimination Status! (31.12.2025)

According to the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 2,000 measles cases have been reported nationwide this year, with 93 percent occurring among unvaccinated people. This marks the highest number since the highly contagious disease was first considered eliminated in the United States 25 years ago.

Public health experts expect more measles cases well into January, urging the public to get vaccinated.

They have also warned that the United States could lose its elimination status as Canada did last month, if the disease continues to spread for three more weeks.

China: Brain-Computer-Interface Gives Hope to Paralyzed People! (12.12.2025)

“For example, if a patient sees a flame and wants to move away, that ‘wanting’ signal is captured by the chip and converted into a command to move the hand,” he added.

While the foundational BCI research began decades ago in the West, Chinese teams are now rapidly advancing the technology.

In July 2025, Nature reported that “China is rising swiftly in the field of brain-computer interfaces”, with devices that even outperform Elon Musk’s Neuralink project in certain aspects.

“Although China does not have as long a research history in the field as the United States, development is extremely fast,” Qu said, noting China’s advantages in medical infrastructure and its population scale for testing.

Patients’ hopes lifted

The BCI device developed by Shanghai StairMed is particularly remarkable. With 64 electrodes — each only 1 percent of the width of a human hair — it is one of the smallest and least invasive implantable BCIs in the world. The first male recipient has already used it to play chess and video racing games.
