The research team from the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) led by Dr. Dowon Ahn,聽has made significant strides in addressing the key challenges of photoresponsive, visible light 3D printing.
Alternative proteins鈥攎eat made from plants, cultivated from animal cells, or produced via fermentation鈥攐ffer consumers the foods they love made with more sustainable protein sources. To evaluate the potential of plant-based meat to reduce the environmental impacts of the food system, the Good Food Institute commissioned EarthShift Global to complete a comprehensive, ISO-certified life cycle assessment (LCA). This LCA is the most comprehensive, open-access LCA conducted to date (2024).
Zymo Research Corporation, a global leader in innovative life science solutions, is proud to sponsor the Microbes in Wastewater: Antibiotic Resistance, Public Health, and Climate Change Symposium taking place January 16-17, 2025, in Newport Beach, California. This pivotal event will convene top researchers, industry experts, and public health professionals to explore the latest advancements in wastewater surveillance and its critical impact on public health, antibiotic resistance, and environmental sustainability.
Pharmass锚tX Inc., a late-preclinical stage pharmaceutical development company, today announced that the US Patent and Trademark Office has acknowledged receipt of the Company's patent application entitled "CRYSTALLINE FORM OF EPIGALLOCATECHIN-3-GALLATE." Pharmass锚tX is developing the novel form of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) as a prescription drug for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
A recent study highlights the health benefits of a cocoa-flavored, soy-based powder drink mix enriched with hydrolysates from edible bird鈥檚 nests. This innovative functional beverage shows promise in managing hypertension and inflammation, along with improving glycemic control and prolonging satiety. The study focuses on the drink鈥檚 angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition and red blood cell membrane stabilization effects, suggesting a fresh approach to dietary management of chronic health issues.
Alcohol-related deaths in the U.S. nearly doubled from 1999 to 2020. The sharpest spike occurred among 25鈥34-year-olds (nearly fourfold), while individuals aged 55鈥64 had the highest rates. Men consistently had higher rates but women saw the largest proportional rise, with deaths increasing 2.5 times. Asian and Pacific Islander communities experienced the steepest ethnic increase, while the Midwest saw the greatest regional rise (2.5 times), followed by the Northeast, West, and South.
A new study by researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities in collaboration with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) found that specific insecticides, called neonicotinoids, were found at high concentrations in some ground and surface water sources that could affect drinking water.
A recent study unveils an innovative composite phase change material (CPCM) tailored for lithium-ion battery (LIB) thermal management. Using hydrated salts, this material is engineered to regulate battery temperatures and mitigate thermal runaway (TR) risks, paving the way for safer and more efficient battery applications. The research emphasizes the dual benefits of improved energy densities and longevity while addressing pressing safety concerns associated with high-rate charging and discharging.
A study by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has identified strategies for using large language models (LLMs), a type of artificial intelligence (AI), in health systems while maintaining cost efficiency and performance. The findings, published in the November 18 online issue of npj Digital Medicine, provide insights into how health systems can leverage advanced AI tools to automate tasks efficiently, saving time and reducing operational costs while ensuring these models remain reliable even under high task loads.
Many living organisms are able to regenerate damaged or lost tissue, but why some are particularly good at this and others are not is not fully understood. Molecular biologists Alexander Stockinger, Leonie Adelmann and Florian Raible from the Max Perutz Labs at the University of Vienna have now made an important contribution to clarifying this question in a new study.
