Some notoriously difficult to treat infections may not be as resistant to antibiotics as has been thought, according to University of Illinois research using a microfluidic device that more closely duplicates the fluid flow found in the body.
A new study by researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign describes a breakthrough in the field of organic solar cells, bringing the technology one step closer to commercial viability. Lightweight, transparent OSCs can turn any surface into a power generator.
University of Illinois researchers have developed a method to recycle platinum catalysts used in the production of valuable silicone materials. A team led by chemical and biomolecular engineering professor Xiao Su details a method to recover these catalysts using specially designed molecular attachments and advanced electrochemical separation technologies.
The Department of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has launched an innovative bachelor's degree program that combines the principles of chemical engineering with rigorous training in data science. The Chemical Engineering + Data Science (ChemE+DS) degree will uniquely prepare graduates to leverage big data in the chemical engineering field to guide informed decision-making and design choices.
Researchers from the University of Illinois have identified a key process coordinating liver maturation and polyploidization, a state in which cells carry more than two sets of chromosomes. Their findings provide insight into hepatocyte specialization that will aid efforts in regenerative medicine.
Bacteria face multiple stressors in the human body, including fluid flow. A new University of Illinois study found that combining the stress of fluid flow with the chemical stress of the hydrogen peroxide naturally present in the body synergizes to block bacterial migration and growth of the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
University of Illinois professor of African American studies and history Erik S. McDuffie examines the influence of political activist Marcus Garvey and the importance of the Midwest in the growth of Black internationalism and radicalism in his new book, 鈥淭he Second Battle for Africa: Garveyism, the U.S. Heartland and Global Black Freedom.鈥�
In a recent study, people who strongly endorsed racial and gender stereotypes about intelligence were more likely to believe that stories featuring brilliant Black or female protagonists were unrealistic compared with those featuring white male protagonists.
Researchers from the University of Illinois have reported complementary discoveries that improve scientists鈥� understanding of immune systems in bacteria and will equip clinicians with more effective options for treating antibiotic-resistant infections.
University of Illinois researchers discovered a key factor responsible for facilitating signal transduction in Cys-loop receptors, providing insight into a longstanding question in the field of ion-channel physiology and contributing to rational drug design.
Chronic pain patients often struggle with anxiety and depression. A recent study led by University of Illinois communication professor Charee Thompson found that effective physician-patient communication during the initial consultation helps patients manage their uncertainties, fears, anxieties and increases confidence in their ability to cope with their condition.
Thin, stretchy skin 鈥� like that of a pig or human 鈥� lessens the underlying damage that occurs when it鈥檚 punctured. Pig skin even outperforms synthetic materials designed to mimic skin, a study led by the University of Illinois finds. Its qualities, in particular its ability to dissipate the energy of a puncturing object, greatly reduce the damage to deeper tissues.
An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Illinois has discovered a potential new treatment option for drug-resistant breast cancer. Their findings, published in Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, demonstrates the role of activators of ferroptosis in overcoming acquired resistance to FOXM1 inhibitors.
Virtual reality training for physicians aims to heal disparities in Black maternal health care
