People who received at least one influenza vaccine were 40 percent less likely than their non-vaccinated peers to develop Alzheimer’s disease over the course of four years, according to a new study from UT Health Houston.

An international team of scientists used retrospective radiocarbon birth dating to show that the human liver stays young throughout life and is on average less than three years old.

Research into digital solutions for laboratories has been going on for more than a decade, and several initiatives have now developed market-ready application examples. Following the example of similar developments in production, discussion of automation standards in the lab has also gained momentum. Is the industry now on the verge of a breakthrough?

Researchers have conducted lab experiments which reveal that nanoplastics when inhaled or consumed by the human body can have adverse effects on the human liver and also damage lung cell processes.

Researchers at the University of British Columbia and the University of Victoria have revealed that exposure to traffic pollution for even a little while can harm the functioning of the brain.

A review article by the Food Sciences unit of the University of Turku states that anthocyanins i.e. the colored pigments found in fruits, vegetables and tubers have the potential to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Northwestern University chemists have done the seemingly impossible. Using low temperatures and inexpensive, common reagents, the research team developed a process that causes two major classes of PFAS compounds to fall apart — leaving behind only benign end products.

A study by UCLA has shown that a synthetic IL-9 receptor assists T cell therapy to be carried out to treat cancerous tumors without the need for chemo or radiation.

Semi-permeable polymer membranes are an efficient way to produce clean water. To overcome existing challenges such as fouling, US researchers have now used computational methods to advance membrane technology.

A 3-million-dollar grant has been awarded for Special Education Research led by Northwestern University. The research aims at improving access to autism evaluations with its virtual format and reducing the time for diagnosis.
