Researchers <a href="https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-01-smart-contact-lens-thin-sensor.html?utm_source=renewal-weekly.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=issue-8-smart-eye-tech" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration: none; color: #1F2937; border-bottom: 2px solid #8B5CF6; padding-bottom: 1px; font-style: normal;">developed</a> the device using thin-film technology that measures intraocular pressure continuously throughout the day.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 8px 0;">The lens connects wirelessly to a smartphone app, sending pressure readings every few minutes. Early testing showed the lens matched traditional measurement tools while being comfortable enough for <strong>12-hour</strong> wear.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 8px 0;">For the <strong>3 million</strong> Americans with glaucoma, this represents something significant. The condition steals vision gradually, often without symptoms, and current monitoring gaps mean many patients don't catch problems until permanent damage occurs. Researchers <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41528-025-00507-3?utm_source=renewal-weekly.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=issue-8-smart-eye-tech" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration: none; color: #1F2937; border-bottom: 2px solid #8B5CF6; padding-bottom: 1px; font-style: normal;">noted</a> that continuous monitoring could help doctors adjust treatments before vision loss happens, rather than after.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 8px 0;">This technology builds on years of work trying to miniaturize pressure sensors small enough to fit in a contact lens. Previous attempts were either too bulky or couldn't maintain accuracy. <strong>This version uses flexible electronics </strong> that bend with the eye's natural movement while maintaining consistent readings. If larger studies confirm these results, glaucoma management could shift from reactive to preventive—catching pressure changes in real-time rather than hoping monthly checkups are enough.</p></div></div><div class="rw-section" style="border: 1px solid #E5E7EB;

In men with the lowest EPA and DHA intakes, high arachidonic acid was associated with more bone loss. The omega-3s appear to act as a buffer, keeping inflammation in check so other fatty acids can do their job.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 4px 0;"><strong style="font-size: 18px; display: block; margin: 16px 0 8px 0;">Your weekly fish Rx</strong></p><p style="margin: 0 0 4px 0;">• Dark fish: salmon, mackerel, sardines, bluefish (<strong>3+ servings/week</strong> showed the strongest protection)</p><p style="margin: 0 0 4px 0;">• Tuna: canned works fine, but mercury concerns mean limiting to 2-3 servings weekly</p><p style="margin: 0 0 4px 0;">• Don't skip the eggs and meat: omega-6s help bones when your omega-3s are adequate</p><p style="margin: 0 0 12px 0;">The protective effect held even after researchers controlled for protein intake—meaning it's not just about eating more protein. Something specific about these fatty acids is telling your bones to hold onto their density. At an average age of 75, participants eating fish regularly were essentially pressing pause on the bone loss that typically accelerates with age.</p></div></div><div class="rw-section" style="border: 1px solid #E5E7EB; border-radius: 12px; padding: 24px 24px 12px 24px; margin-bottom: 16px; background: #FFFFFF; overflow: visible; font-family: Helvetica, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, sans-serif;"><p style="color: #7C3AED; font-size: 12px; font-weight: 700; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0.5px; margin: 0 0 2px 0;">PRESENTED BY Viome</p><h2 style="font-size: 22px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0 0 6px 0; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your gut holds answers your doctor can't see.</h2><div style="margin: 0 -24px 16px -24px;"><a href="https://viomehq.sjv.io/c/3937227/1386011/13051?utm_source=renewal-weekly.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=issue-8-smart-eye-tech" rel="noopener sponsored"><img src="https://renewal-images.b-cdn.net/viome%20ad.jpg" alt="viome testing kit" style="width: 100%; display: block;"></a></div><div style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6;"><p style="margin: 0 0 12px 0;">Most health tests tell you what's wrong after symptoms appear. <a href="https://viomehq.sjv.io/c/3937227/1386011/13051?utm_source=renewal-weekly.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=issue-8-smart-eye-tech" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration: none; color: #1F2937; border-bottom: 2px solid #8B5CF6; padding-bottom: 1px; font-style: normal;">Viome's Full Body Intelligence Test</a> takes a different approach, analyzing your gut microbiome, cellular health, and biological age to reveal what's happening inside before problems start.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 12px 0;">Using advanced AI and RNA sequencing, Viome identifies the precise foods, supplements, and lifestyle changes your unique biology needs.

Current options—drugs, dialysis, transplants—each come with serious limitations. A comprehensive review in Cell Transplantation <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10074620/?utm_source=renewal-weekly.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=issue-8-smart-eye-tech" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration: none; color: #1F2937; border-bottom: 2px solid #8B5CF6; padding-bottom: 1px; font-style: normal;">examined</a> whether mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) could change the equation.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 16px 0;">The findings are encouraging. MSCs don't just replace damaged cells—they work through multiple mechanisms: reducing inflammation, blocking cell death, promoting new blood vessel growth, and reversing the fibrosis (scarring) that destroys kidney function over time. Even more promising, MSC-derived exosomes (tiny cellular packages) <a href="https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10074620/?utm_source=renewal-weekly.beehiiv.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=issue-8-smart-eye-tech" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration: none; color: #1F2937; border-bottom: 2px solid #8B5CF6; padding-bottom: 1px; font-style: normal;">showed</a> similar benefits with lower transplant risk.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 16px 0;">Dozens of clinical trials are now underway testing MSCs for acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, and lupus nephritis. Early results show improved kidney function and reduced protein in urine—without serious adverse events.</p><p style="margin: 0 0 16px 0;">We're not at FDA approval yet (several MSC therapies are approved in South Korea, Japan, and Europe for other conditions).
