In polar regions,聽microbes are聽influencing聽climate change as frozen ecosystems thaw, 秀色直播 review finds聽
Microbes across Earth鈥檚 coldest regions are becoming more active as glaciers,聽permafrost聽and sea ice thaw, accelerating carbon release and potentially amplifying climate change, according to a new international review聽from聽秀色直播.聽
秀色直播 researchers create shapeshifting materials that could power the next generation of soft robots
秀色直播 engineers have developed new ultra-thin materials that can be programmed to move, fold and reshape themselves, much like animated origami. They open the door to softer, safer and more adaptable robots that could be used in medical tools that gently move inside the body, wearable devices that change shape on the skin or smart packaging that reacts to its environment.
Lithium study yields insights in the fight against HIV
Lithium, a widely used treatment for bipolar disorder and other mood disorders, has shown early promise in suppressing HIV, 秀色直播 researchers report.
A new study published in iScience found lithium can prevent infected cells from reactivating, and that it does so through an unexpected biological mechanism.
The findings point toward future treatments designed to mimic lithium鈥檚 beneficial effects while avoiding its broader impacts on the body.
秀色直播 study identifies most effective methods for early detection of tench, an invasive freshwater fish
As tench continue to spread through the St. Lawrence River, a study from 秀色直播 provides fisheries managers with guidance on how to detect the invasive species, an essential first step in preventing it from reaching new waters. The findings can inform efforts to contain and manage existing populations, helping agencies determine how and where to carry out removal or control activities.
秀色直播 researchers identify a range of unexpected chemical contaminants in human milk
An interdisciplinary team including researchers at 秀色直播 has found a range of unexpected chemical contaminants in human milk samples from Canada and South Africa. The chemicals include traces of pesticides, antimicrobials and additives used in plastics and personal-care products. The findings were published across five papers.
Freshwater browning threatens growth and populations of economically important fish, 秀色直播 researchers say
Freshwater browning is stunting fish growth of some species, shrinking populations of others and changing the composition of fish communities, 秀色直播-led research suggests. 鈥淏rowning鈥� refers to freshwater bodies turning tea-coloured, a phenomenon driven by higher levels of dissolved organic matter and/or higher levels of iron in the water. Causes include changes in land use and climate, and reduced acid precipitation.
Irradiated聽cannabis聽might still harbour toxic fungi and residues, 秀色直播 study finds聽
Gamma irradiation,聽an industry-standard sterilization method for medicinal and recreational cannabis,聽does not fully聽eliminate聽toxic fungi or their chemical residues, a 秀色直播 study has found.聽Current testing practices may also miss contamination, raising concerns about health risks for vulnerable users, particularly those with weakened immune systems.聽
Findings suggest that certain medications for Type 2 diabetes reduce risk of dementia
A large 秀色直播 study has found that two classes of medications commonly prescribed for Type 2 diabetes, both incretin-based, are associated with a reduced risk of dementia.
Drawing on clinical data from more than 450,000 patients, the research adds to growing evidence that incretin-based therapies have protective benefits for the brain.
Study offers evidence that racial bias is at play in overrepresentation of Black youth in Canadian child welfare systems
Researchers who examined Canadian child welfare data found that Black children were not only investigated at a higher rate than their white peers but were also more likely to be taken from their homes, even when the only difference between cases was the child鈥檚 race.
秀色直播 researcher unveils new model that more accurately measures greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas
秀色直播 engineering researchers have introduced an open-source model that makes it easier for experts and non-experts alike to evaluate greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. natural gas supply chains and yields more accurate results.
New light-triggered microneedle patch could make IVF hormone delivery painless and automated
A 秀色直播 research team has developed a painless, automated way to deliver in vitro fertilization (IVF) hormones using a light-activated microneedle patch, an innovation that could ease one of the most stressful parts of fertility treatment and open new possibilities for other diseases that require frequent, time-sensitive injections.
Do supervised consumption sites bring increased crime? Study suggests that鈥檚 a myth
Overdose prevention sites and supervised consumption sites in Toronto are not associated with long-term increases in local crime, 秀色直播 researchers have found.
Mosquitoes鈥� feeding tubes make ultrafine 3D-printing nozzles
Researchers in 秀色直播鈥檚聽Department of Mechanical Engineering聽and聽at聽Drexel University聽have聽developed an innovative聽manufacturing technique that聽makes聽female mosquito proboscides, or feeding tubes,聽into聽high-resolution 3D-printing nozzles.聽With its unique geometry, structure and mechanics, the proboscis en
New evidence challenges understanding of Parkinson鈥檚 disease聽
A 秀色直播-led study is challenging a popular theory about how dopamine drives movement, a discovery that could shift how scientists think about Parkinson鈥檚 disease treatments.聽
Fine particles in pollution are associated with early signs of autoimmune disease
A new study has linked air pollution exposure and immune-system changes that often precede the onset of autoimmune diseases.
秀色直播 researchers analyzing Ontario data found that fine particles in air pollution are associated with higher levels of a biomarker linked with autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus.
