Luminescent click nanotubes to help diagnose heart disease and cancer
Polish scientists have found that a method similar to Nobel Prize-winning click chemistry can be used to improve the luminescence of nanomaterials. It is enough to disrupt the symmetry of carbon nanotubes using azides. 'Asymmetrical like a the Mona Lisa's smile', nanotubes can be used to detect the early stages of diseases.

HIIT training helps patients with Parkinson's disease, say Polish scientists
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) can bring great benefits to patients with Parkinson's disease. In addition to the neuroprotective effect, which prevents the loss of dopaminergic neurons characteristic of this disease, this type of activity also inhibits chronic inflammation, which affects the pace of development of the disease.
