Phys.org / PFAS exposure greater in wet pet food, study suggests
Ehime University investigators measured 34 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in 100 commercial dog and cat foods sold in Japan and detected PFAS across many products, with higher concentrations in fish-based foods and dry ...
Medical Xpress / A molecular 'switch' could make pancreatic cancer more treatable
Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have identified a molecular "switch" that determines whether pancreatic cancer cells resist chemotherapy or respond to it—a finding that could help convert some of the most treatment-resistant ...
Phys.org / 'Plug-and-play'—how plants steal genetic shortcuts to survive
Plants are fast-tracking their own evolution by "plugging in" genetic code stolen from their neighbors, according to new research that reveals the secret to their own successful genetic engineering. The study, led by Catherine ...
Phys.org / Implementing selective immigration and import policies could counter the rise in populism
A study involving the UAB has analyzed the effect of foreign trade and immigration on the success of both right- and left-wing populist parties. The analysis reveals how the importation of products that require low-skilled ...
Medical Xpress / Smart patch detects allergies before symptoms strike
A wearable device that alerts people with food allergies before a reaction begins has the potential to reduce life-threatening anaphylaxis and transform allergy management from reactive to preventive care. The AllergE patch ...
Phys.org / Water interactions reveal how surface coatings reshape nanoparticle drug delivery
Researchers at Arizona State University have uncovered a key scientific principle that governs how what's coated on the surfaces of engineered nanoparticles may ultimately control how they work in our bodies. In a new study ...

Phys.org / AI technology detects real-time koala crossing in first for field
A prototype artificial intelligence-powered camera incorporated into an intelligent road sign has successfully detected and recorded a koala crossing a road in real time on the Redlands Coast, marking the first time this ...
Phys.org / Single-celled organism becomes multicellular via three different pathways
Some single-celled organisms are known to transition to multicellularity during their lifetimes, usually either by cloning themselves or when many similar cells come together to form a larger multicellular organism. A new ...
Medical Xpress / Self-aware biosensors boost digital health monitoring
Smart biomedical devices are transforming modern health care, using skin-mounted sensors to capture in-depth health information directly from the body. As clinicians increasingly use biosensing devices to guide patient care, ...
Medical Xpress / A new class of Alzheimer's biomarkers: Why protein shape may beat protein levels
Researchers have identified a new type of blood-based biomarker test for Alzheimer's disease that measures structural changes in proteins, providing more information on the underlying biology of the disease than standard ...
Medical Xpress / Report highlights dangers of red-light laser myopia therapy for children
As red-light laser therapy gains popularity in Asia for slowing myopia in children, reports of vision damage have emerged, prompting a University of Houston optometry researcher to evaluate the procedure and call for further ...
