Scientists have decoded the physical process that takes place in the mouth when a piece of chocolate is eaten, as it changes from a solid into a smooth emulsion that many people find totally irresistible.

In a study, researchers have revealed that keto diets help to delay tumor growth but are also responsible for causing cachexia, a wasting syndrome, which can even lead to death.

Researchers at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have developed a new type of treatment that is expected to provide a lasting treatment response against both the hepatitis B and D viruses which are major causes of liver cancer.

Automation continues to advance, even in the laboratory. For the life science sector, SPT Labtech has developed a liquid handling station that can handle complex workflows such as next-generation sequencing. In an exclusive interview with LP, Jose Couto, Field Application Scientist Manager, explains what makes this automation solution so special and how it can make everyday work in genomics labs easier.

Thermo Fisher Scientific’s new bioanalytical lab is located in Richmond, Virginia and will help to accelerate the firm’s drug discovery process and expand its clinical research operations in the region.

How do nutritional changes affect the interaction between trees and soil microorganisms? This has long remained a black box but a new study has shed light onto this cryptic association. It shows that increased soil nutrition changes the communication between trees and their associated fungi.

A sustainable chemical separation method that uses membranes, microalgae and artificial intelligence has been developed by a team drawn from different Kaust groups whose members have diverse specialties in bioengineering, membranes and water reuse and recycling.

An international team of researchers led by the University of Adelaide’s Professor Shizhang Qiao and Associate Professor Yao Zheng from the School of Chemical Engineering has succeeded in splitting green hydrogen from seawater without pre-treatment.

Scientists are conducting a new experiment wherein the migration of 100 endangered North Pacific loggerhead turtles from Japan all the way to North America is being tracked to test if warm water events such as El Niño open up a pathway for these turtles to reach their destination.

Researchers developed a new type of holographic microscope. The new microscope can “see through” the intact skull, and is capable of high-resolution 3D imaging of the neural network within a living mouse brain without removing the skull.
