Emerging contaminants from rubber tires N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N’-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) and its oxidation product 6PPD-quinone (6PPDQ)—are raising new red flags for aquatic ecosystems. A recent study reveals that prolonged exposure to these chemicals…
Compound offers non-opioid pain relief by targeting neurotensin receptor 1 (NTSR1) found on sensory neurons and the spinal cord An experimental drug developed at Duke University School of Medicine could offer powerful…
A little over two decades ago, addressing Nigeria’s HIV crisis topped U.S. President George W. Bush’s priorities. Africa’s most populous nation had 3.5 million HIV cases, and the disease threatened to destabilize…
A healthy diet outperforms fecal transplants in restoring and protecting the gut microbiome, according to new research published in Nature by the Simons Foundation’s Joy Bergelson and collaborators at the University of…
FAU researchers uncover novel strategy HIV-1 uses to evade the immune system, survive and replicate In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers from Florida Atlantic University’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine have identified a never-before-seen mechanism…
“Data demonstrate that BSO recapitulates the SAAR-induced anti-obesity effects and that GSH plays a mechanistic role.” The SAAR diet and BSO induce similar morphometric changes. Four groups of eighteen-week-old male C57BL/6NTac mice (n=7/group)…
Nagoya City University researchers reveal that x-ray sterilization efficiency dramatically changes depending on dose rate and bacterial nutrient conditions. Radiation sterilization technology destroys the DNA and cellular structures of bacteria and microorganisms…
In one of the larger studies of its kind, researchers have identified six breast texture patterns that may be associated with increased cancer risk, according to a new study published today in Radiology,…
Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) have developed a technique that could help advance treatments in tissue engineering. The study, published in the scientific journal Small, introduces a technique for…
A new treatment approach significantly improves survival rates for patients with aggressive, inherited breast cancers, according to Cambridge researchers. In a trial where cancers were treated with chemotherapy followed by a targeted…
