COVID toe: A dermatological manifestation of COVID-19

Written by

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, different strains of the SARS-CoV-2 virus have resulted in a variety of clinical symptoms. As well as the more common respiratory symptoms, doctors also began to […]

Autoneum – making sustainable acoustic and thermal management of cars a reality

Written by

The team at Autoneum are designing acoustic and thermal management systems for vehicles with sustainability.

The automotive manufacturing industry has reached a point of no return. Advancing electrification and increasing sustainability standards have forced manufacturers to change strategic tack and design vehicles that are more […]

Effect of β-glucan from oats and barley on weight loss and adiposity

Written by

Rebecca Mathews and her collaborators review key studies on the effect of β-glucan on weight loss, BMI and obesity.

Obesity is a growing public health concern, but studies suggest that soluble fibre from certain cereal whole grains can help weight management. Specifically, the cell wall carbohydrate β-glucan found in […]

Impact of dietary protein on cat health and wellbeing

Written by

Research into the varying levels of protein in feline diets in healthy adult cats and their gut microbiome.

Compared to dogs, cats require higher levels of protein in their diet to remain healthy. Based on current recommendations, commercially available cat food contains between 28% and 55% protein for […]

New delivery technology may improve dietary supplement efficacy

Written by

Dr Junichiro Wakamatsu researches controlled-delivery technology for dietary supplements that support immune health

More now perhaps than ever before, the world is focusing on immune health and sourcing ways to support health, including through dietary supplements. However, supplements are not held up to […]

Striking the balance between cost containment and high-quality care

Written by

Professor Karl Swedberg has worked alongside a consortium of experts to produce a roadmap on cost containment for healthcare in the EU.

Professor Karl Swedberg at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, collaborated with a consortium of experts to produce a roadmap on cost containment for healthcare in the EU. The roadmap included […]

Shedding light on liver metastasis in pancreatic cancer

Written by

Research into liver metastasis in pancreatic cancer, and how genes can influence tumour growth

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive and lethal malignancy, largely as a result of its early spread, or ‘metastasis’, to the liver. Dr Tami Rubinek and Professor Ido Wolf, […]

Securing communication in quantum anonymous networks

Written by

Researchers at Kyung Hee University have developed two key protocols to enable quantum anonymous networks communication - the QACD protocol and the QAN protocol which paves the way for secure quantum anonymous communication across quantum networks, therefore reducing the risk of online fraud.

The demand for secure network communication is increasing as online fraud and cybercrime pose threats to users’ security and data confidentiality. Awais Khan, Dr Junaid ur Rehman and Professor Hyundong […]

Biofield therapy: Evidence for the health benefits of Johrei

Written by

Professor Kenji Yamamoto researches the effect of Johrei, a form of biofield therapy, on patients with hypothermia, to see if it has health benefits

Johrei is an important form of biofield therapy developed by Mokichi Okada in Japan in 1935. It is said to provide health benefits when a practitioner absorbs life-force energy from […]

Discovering the optimal schedule for adiabatic quantum computation

Written by

Dr Stefan Isermann investigates the adiabatic theorem and ascertains the conditions for an optimal schedule, thus reducing the computation time for quantum computers.

Quantum computers outperform classic machines when it comes to solving complex calculations. Commercial quantum computers are now available, and these perform quantum computation via a process called ‘adiabatic evolution’. The […]
