"Goodbye Fillings"... Scientists Succeed in Growing Real Human Teeth in Labs for First Time
London - (Saba):
British scientists have developed a revolutionary technology that could fundamentally change dentistry, allowing patients to no longer need fillings and crowns.
Scientists from King's College London, in collaboration with Imperial College London, have successfully grown human teeth in a lab for the first time in history.
An English newspaper reported on the study, stating that the scientists succeeded in developing a material that mimics the environment necessary for tooth growth, allowing cells to send signals and initiate tooth formation.
The study also confirms that, unlike implants and fillings, a tooth grown from the patient's own cells can be integrated into the person's jaw and restored.
Researchers are exploring two potential uses for this technology: growing the entire tooth in a lab before implanting it, or placing early-stage dental cells directly into the patient's jaw, where they can continue to grow.
Scientists believe that such methods could revolutionize dentistry and provide effective solutions for tooth restoration and regeneration.

British doctor working in Gaza: We face daily influx of injured, amputated children
London – Saba: A British doctor working in the Gaza Strip said she faces a daily influx of children arriving at the hospital with amputated limbs. British doctor Victoria Rose told The Sunday Times: "First there's the six-year-old girl whose left cheek and shoulder were amputated, then the two-year-old girl, the baby, the three-year-old orphan boy, the four-year-old boy, and the 11-year-old boy who lost all nine of his siblings." The 53-year-old doctor added: "We always start with the children. Most of those on my list are injured by explosions that have injured young children, including amputated arms, legs, and hands," according to the Palestinian news agency Safa. She continued, "It makes me feel very angry, but I can't stop thinking about them or stop working." Rose noted that on most days, she works 14 hours a day until 11:00 PM, after which she tries to get some rest in the women's dormitory behind the intensive care unit. The Israeli bombing usually begins at 4:00 AM. The British doctor noted that despite the long hours and exhaustion, she tries to continue her work by maintaining a video diary on Instagram to show people abroad, knowing that Israel does not allow foreign journalists into Gaza, and that doctors like her play an important role as "the eyes and ears of the outside world." With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has been committing genocidal crimes in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the deaths of 54,470 Palestinian civilians, the majority of whom are children and women, and the injury of 124,693 others. To date, the death toll is incomplete, with thousands of victims still buried under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulance and rescue crews. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

British surgeon describes "Real Massacre" at aid distribution center in Gaza
Gaza – Saba: British surgeon Victoria Rose described the situation at the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, on Sunday as the result of a "real massacre" after the hospital received dozens of wounded following an Israeli attack on Palestinians at an aid distribution site in Rafah. In a short video shared by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza on its Facebook account, the British surgeon, working in the emergency department of the medical complex, said: "This morning, Sunday, gunfire broke out at an aid distribution center run by the so-called 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation' in Rafah, southern Gaza. A large number of wounded were transported to local field hospitals." Dr. Rose explained that Nasser Medical Complex received a significant number of casualties, stating that local sources reported around 200 people injured by live ammunition. She added, "The situation here is a real massacre." Earlier, the Government Media Office in Gaza announced in a statement that 32 Palestinians were killed and more than 250 others injured, including dozens in critical condition, since early Sunday morning in Rafah. Earlier on Sunday, Gaza's Health Ministry stated that "every martyr who arrived at the hospitals had been shot with a single bullet to the head or chest, confirming the enemy's intent to carry out direct and horrific killings of civilians." With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has been committing genocidal crimes in Gaza since October 7, 2023, resulting in the deaths of 54,418 Palestinian citizens, the majority of whom are children and women, and injuring 124,190 others—figures that are not yet final. Thousands of victims remain trapped under rubble or in the streets, unreachable by rescue and medical teams. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print more of (International)

Study: Half world's population experienced extra month of extreme heat due to climate change
London - Saba: Half the world's population experienced an extra month of extreme heat last year due to human-caused climate change, according to a new study published on Friday. The study found that continued burning of fossil fuels is harming health and well-being on every continent, noting that the impacts are often under-recognized in developing countries, according to Reuters. "With every barrel of oil burned, every ton of carbon dioxide released, and every fraction of a degree of warming, heatwaves will affect more people," said Friederike Otto, a climate scientist at Imperial College London and co-author of the report. The analysis, conducted by scientists at World Weather Attribution, Climate Central, and the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Center, was published days before World Heat Action Day on June 2, which this year highlights the risks of heat stress and heatstroke. To analyze the impact of global warming, the researchers examined the period from May 1, 2024, to May 1, 2025. They defined "extreme heat days" as days with temperatures exceeding 90 percent of those recorded in the same location from 1991 to 2020. Using a simulation approach whose results were reviewed by independent analysts, the study authors compared the number of extreme heat days recorded with the number in a hypothetical world unaffected by human-induced warming. The results were shocking: nearly 4 billion people, or 49% of the world's population, experienced at least 30 more days of extreme heat than a world without climate change. The team monitored 67 extreme heat waves during the year, finding the signature of climate change in every one. The Caribbean island of Aruba was the hardest hit, recording 187 days of extreme heat, 45 more than would have been expected without climate change. This study follows a year that set unprecedented global temperatures. 2024 was the hottest year on record, surpassing 2023, and January 2023 was the hottest January ever. On average, global temperatures are now 1.3°C above pre-industrial levels, and in 2024 alone, they exceeded the symbolic limit set by the Paris Climate Agreement by 1.5°C. The report also highlighted the lack of data on the health impact of heat, particularly in low-income countries. While Europe recorded more than 61 heat-related deaths in the summer of 2022, there is no comparable data for other regions, and heat-related deaths are often attributed to heart or respiratory diseases. The researchers emphasized the importance of early warning systems, public awareness, and city-specific climate action plans. Improved building design, including shading and ventilation, and behavior modification, such as avoiding strenuous activities during peak heat, are also essential. However, adaptation alone will not be enough. The study authors warned that the only way to halt the increasing intensity and frequency of extreme heat is to rapidly phase out fossil fuels.
