Tech Xplore / A probe into 'forever chemicals' in activewear lays bare fashion's greenwashing problem
Have you ever paid more for a product because a brand told you it was good for you and the planet? Many activewear shoppers do exactly this, trusting that the "healthy" image on the label matches what is actually in the fabric. ...
Medical Xpress / Silencing stress signals could pave the way to a longer life
Silencing a major cellular stress signal could be the key to a longer life, according to new University of Sheffield research. While previous studies suggested that mild stress might help organisms live longer, new research ...
Medical Xpress / Glucose levels appear to guide when brain cells divide or form myelin
Researchers at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) have uncovered a surprising link between low brain sugar levels and the development of myelin—the protective coating that allows ...
Phys.org / AI discovery reveals DNA isn't locked away in cells after all
Every cell in the human body squeezes over six feet of DNA into a minuscule speck invisible to the naked eye—like compressing a whole house into a single sugar cube. In order to fit in a cell and remain organized, DNA is ...
Medical Xpress / For 30 years, doctors chased the wrong immune culprit behind this rare inflammatory disease
Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have uncovered a critical mechanism driving inflammation in mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD), a rare but devastating autoinflammatory disorder. The study, published ...
Phys.org / Malaria parasite sneaks mRNA into immune cell nuclei, disrupting defenses
RNA technology is regarded as one of the newest frontiers in medicine, but in fact a primordial innovator got there way before we did. The malaria parasite, an ancient single-celled organism, has been using sophisticated ...
Phys.org / Nanofiltration for cleaner water is stopping one of farming's most persistent chemicals from slipping through
Water is fundamental to all life—contaminants are harmful to humans and the environment. Herbicides used in agriculture to control weeds present a particular challenge here. The most widely used herbicide in the world is ...
