Using a wood burning stove at home can lead to a decline in lung function, according to research presented at the European Respiratory Society Congress in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

The platform called Nanostraw Electro-actuated Transfection (Next) uses tiny hollow nanostructures and electrical pulses to insert a wide variety of biomolecules — proteins, mRNA and gene-editing tools — into immune cells with high efficiency and minimal disruption.

Researchers have developed a sunlight-activated material that has the capacity to degrade per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water. This process helps to break down the pollutant into harmless components.

A comprehensive new study suggests that walking 7000 steps a day offers nearly the same health benefits as 10,000 steps — significantly lowering the risk of early death and major diseases.

Wildfires burning across Canada and the Western United States are spewing smoke over millions of Americans — the latest examples of ashy haze becoming a regular experience, with health impacts far greater than scientists previously estimated.

Researchers have claimed that a new artificial heart valve made from the plastic material SEBS is safe to use after they successfully tested the innovative solution for safety for a period of six months.

We’ve long known that diet plays a crucial role in cancers of the liver and pancreas. But could the food we eat also influence lung cancer risk? A groundbreaking study from UF Health and the University of Kentucky reveals a surprising link between the Western diet and lung cancer growth.

A new, error-corrected method for detecting cancer from blood samples is much more sensitive and accurate than prior methods and may be useful for monitoring disease status in patients following treatment, according to a study by Weill Cornell Medicine and New York Genome Center investigators.

The European Commission has recently launched a new strategy which aims to make Europe a global leader in life sciences by the year 2030. The new strategy proposes optimizing the research and innovation ecosystem, enabling rapid market access for life science innovations and boosting trust, uptake and use of innovation.

The University of Bristol has become the first university across the globe to certify all of its labs at the Silver level through the Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework. This milestone will help the University to conduct better research, lower emissions, and also comply with funder expectations.
