Researchers at Brown University have secured a 12.3 million-dollar grant from the National Institutes of Health for expanding their research on substance misuse and chronic disease. The funding will help to expand biomedical research and training and broaden recruitment for studies to include participants from across the nation and world.

Researchers have developed an innovative, eco-friendly reactor that removes toxic PFAS “forever chemicals” from water using cavitation — a process where bubbles form and collapse. Tested in Sweden, the reactor achieved a 36 % degradation rate in just 30 minutes without the need for additional chemicals.

Everyday chemicals found in plastics, shampoos, and packaged foods could be affecting your heart. A new study from the University of Cincinnati reveals that exposure to environmental phenols, like BPA, is linked to changes in the heart's electrical activity, with more pronounced effects in women and certain vulnerable populations.

A new study has revealed that babies that are conceived after assisted reproductive technology are at a higher risk for heart defects. Researchers compared data on babies born following assisted reproduction, including IVF, intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo freezing, with data on babies conceived naturally.

Texas has witnessed 179 weather-related disasters that exceeded 1 billion dollars between 1980 and mid-June 2024. In this background, a new Extreme Weather Adaptation Lab has been established that will aim at helping community leaders to confront the escalating challenges posed by extreme climates.

Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced the Thermo Scientific Kingfisher Apex Dx, an automated nucleic acid purification instrument, and Applied Biosystems Magmax Dx Viral/Pathogen NA Isolation Kit for the isolation and purification of viral and bacterial pathogens from respiratory biological specimens.

Labs that can’t afford expensive super-resolution microscopes could use a new expansion technique to image nanoscale structures inside cells.

The Northwestern University has secured a funding of 11.7 million-dollars from the National Institute of Mental Health of the National Institutes of Health. With this, the University was able to launch a new center in order to address mental health problems in toddlers.

Researchers at the University of Bern and Bern University Hospital have developed a new test that has the potential to improve the clinical diagnosis of allergies in the future.

Scientists from the University of Virginia and EMBL have uncovered a surprising adaptation in yeast cells that helps them hibernate under nutrient stress, shedding new light on cancer cells’ ability to survive during nutrient shortages. This discovery could pave the way for innovative treatments that make cancer cells more vulnerable to starvation and easier to target.
