Tick bites are responsible for the development of Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS) in humans. Resulting in severe allergies to red meat, tick bites and certain drugs, the syndrome is life threatening. […]
Transforming permafrost coastal systems: Advancing scientific discovery through international collaboration
In the Alaskan Arctic, permafrost coastal systems are eroding at rates more than double those of the past. Rampant environmental change is putting new pressures on Arctic coastal dynamics, with […]
Developing a novel inhaled therapeutic for the treatment of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome
Breath Therapeutics – a Zambon Group Company, is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company specialising in advanced inhaled therapeutics for severe respiratory diseases. The company’s proprietary liposomal drug formulation has been […]
Biomimetic assembly of multienzyme reactions on DNA nanostructures
Using DNA nanotechonology, researchers from Rutgers University-Camden have created self-assembly biomimetic systems capable of enzyme proximity immobilisation and enzyme compartmentalisation. Remarkably, these structures have proven themselves capable of forming a […]
PACT: Working with parents and carers to help autism development
Autism is an enduring condition affecting over 1% of people worldwide but with a lack of evidenced therapy to reduce its symptoms. PACT is an early social communication intervention working […]
Increasing personalisation in scientific college courses
In the U.S., women and minorities are severely underrepresented in the science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM) workforce. Nationwide, and only 40% of students who enrol in a STEM course complete […]
Understanding the effects of humidity on ionic liquid-based electrochemical gas sensors
Electrochemical gas sensors are critically important tools used in a wide variety of everyday tasks, but with current designs, their performance can be significantly diminished in hot, dry conditions. Debbie […]
Using metabolomics and artificial intelligence to explore the universe of the dark metabolome
Professor David Wishart, University of Alberta, is a member of Canada’s national metabolomics laboratory and leads the Human Metabolome Project. His work aims to identify and catalogue metabolites in human […]
Can training for ethics in STEM benefit the workforce?
The ethics in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (E-STEM) programme is a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project at Gwynedd Mercy University, Greater Philadelphia. Dr Michelle Kulp McEliece and her […]
Where the river meets the sea: Understanding underexplored river estuarine ecosystems
River estuaries are vital bodies of water that provide multiple ecological services, such as nutrient cycling, climate change adaptation, and habitats for a wide range of ecologically and economically important […]
