Novel 3D-printed implant could revolutionize infection control in surgery

A novel surgical implant developed by Washington State University researchers was able to kill 87% of the bacteria that cause staph infections in laboratory tests, while remaining strong and compatible with surrounding tissue like current implants. The work, reported in the International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, could someday lead to better infection control in many […]

Doubts abound about a new Alzheimer’s blood test

For the first time, people worried about their risk of Alzheimer’s disease can go online, order a blood test, and receive results in the privacy of their homes. This might seem appealing on the surface, but the development has Alzheimer’s researchers and clinicians up in arms. The Quest Diagnostics blood test, AD-Detect, measures elevated levels […]

Children as young as four years old eat 79% more calories when bored, study shows

A new study carried out at Aston University has shown that children as young as four years old eat 79% more calories when they are bored, compared to when they are in a neutral mood. Despite boredom being a common emotion experienced by many children, no research to date has looked experimentally at how much […]

Study reveals impact of hybrid immunity and booster vaccination on antibody waning

In a recent study published in npj Vaccines, researchers conducted a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to examine the decline in neutralizing antibody (nAb) titers following COVID-19 vaccination. The study systematically reviewed the evidence of antibody waning within the first six months after receiving the last dose of the primary COVID-19 vaccination compared to booster […]

Simple fingerprick blood test could help identify millions of people with undiagnosed diabetes

In 2019, there were almost 14 thousand diabetes-related deaths in the UK. That number looks set to rise. Britain currently has 4.3 million registered diabetics, but new analysis from London Medical Laboratory has revealed there are likely to be over one million Brits suffering from undiagnosed type 2 diabetes. Untreated diabetes can lead to blindness, amputations and […]

How is next-generation protein sequencing democratizing protein sequencing?

What challenges do researchers usually encounter with conventional proteomic methods? The proteomics field is highly complex, spanning initial biological samples to comprehensive analysis. An overarching theme repeatedly emphasized by researchers revolves around the absence of a universal solution for this entire process. Rather, each phase demands meticulous harmonization. Researchers often find themselves at a crossroads. They must […]

Researchers unravel structure of MCM8/9 enzyme linked to infertility and cancer

Scientific research requires patience. The rewards are not always immediate, and the technology needed does not always exist. Michael A. Trakselis, Ph.D., professor and director of graduate affairs for the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Baylor University, understands this. For 15 years, Trakselis has been interested in the MCM8/9 enzyme. Part of the minichromosome […]
