During the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has become aware of the value of using sewage analyses to monitor disease development in an area. However, at DTU National Food Institute, a group of researchers has been using sewage monitoring from throughout the world since 2016 as an effective and
Pterosaurs, the flying reptiles of the dinosaur era, originated in the Late Triassic (227 million years ago) and became extinct at the end-Cretaceous extinction event (66 million years ago). With wing spans ranging from 1 to 12 meters, they dominated the world's skies for more than 160 milli
Researchers have identified new genetic mutation which may be the cause of server cases in patients with childhood glaucoma, a debilitating condition that runs in families and can cause blindness in children as young as three years old.
Researchers revealed how Opioid-related overdose is now becoming a cause of accidental death. And the study also found stopping prescription opioids raised the risk of overdose.
With the aid of the Wyss Institute's FcMBL broad-spectrum pathogen capture technology, researchers have redesigned the procedure for identifying microorganisms in blood samples from paediatric sepsis patients.
Recently, a research group developed an in-sensor reservoir computing system for latent fingerprint recognition with deep ultraviolet photo-synapses and a memristor array.
As the Christmas season starts to ramp up, University of South Australia researchers are reminding people to prioritise a good night's sleep as new research shows that troubled sleep may be associated with risk factors for type 2 diabetes.
B cells are critical to the proper functioning of the immune system. However, researchers at Karolinska Institutet have shown that they can sometimes do more harm than good, as their numbers greatly increase after bowel damage, preventing the tissue from healing. The results, which are prese
A new study published by researchers at the University of Bath demonstrates the positive impact learning to play a musical instrument has on the brain's ability to process sights and sounds, and shows how it can also help to lift a blue mood.
Researchers have long been working on how to treat obesity, a serious condition that can lead to hypertension, diabetes, chronic inflammation, and cardiovascular diseases. Studies have also revealed a strong correlation between obesity and cancer, recent data show that smoking, drinking alco
