While microplastic pollution continues to advance, research into its possible effects on health remains hampered by technical hurdles. To date, there are no suitable methods for precisely identifying ...

Snacking and shopping—the way it's meant to be Costco’s free samples are one of life’s simple pleasures. There you are, perusing bulk buy after bulk buy, and, like an oasis in the desert, a kind soul ...

Researchers from Aarhus University – in a major international collaboration - have developed a groundbreaking method that can provide more information from the tissue samples doctors take from ...

A phase I dose-escalation study of a first-in-class HIF1 and HIF2 dual inhibitor R01 in patients with advanced tumors. A novel co-culture system to validate results of a phase I trial testing new ...

A new tissue expansion method enables scientists to use mass spectrometry imaging to simultaneously detect hundreds of molecules at the single cell level in their native locations. For biologists, ...

Seven federal workers who abruptly lost their jobs in recent weeks say they are worried that thousands of biological samples—from human urine to frozen rodent organs—may be left to rot in a government ...

There was just one problem: There weren't any tools that were up to the task. One technique could image lots of RNA molecules, but only in a thin layer of cells. Another method could image in deep ...

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to every other organ, and blood-forming stem cells must make about 200 billion new red blood cells each day to keep the oxygen flowing. For many years, ...

Cognitively normal human brain samples collected at autopsy in early 2024 contained more tiny shards of plastic than samples collected eight years prior, according to a new study. Overall, cadaver ...

A new study by researchers at the Department of Molecular Medicine at SDU sheds light on one of the most severe consequences of stroke: damage to the brain's "cables"-the so-called nerve fibers-which ...

Nucleic acid extraction from biological samples is inherently difficult to execute consistently across different tissue types. Some tissue matrices are fibrous, contained in protective cell walls, or ...
