A new study reveals widespread resistance of a major bacterial pathogen to the active ingredients in cleaning agents commonly used in hospitals and homes. The American Chemical Society Infectious Diseases published the research, led by chemists at Emory University. It demonstrates the surprising level of resistance to cleaning agents of multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa -; a pathogen [...]
“System 0” represents an emerging cognitive tool powered by AI that works alongside human intuition and analysis to enhance cognitive abilities. This new system promises to support complex decision-making and problem-solving but requires careful management to avoid overreliance and ensure ethical use. Introducing System 0 The growing interaction between humans and artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping [...]
This article provides an overview of the global nanomedicine market, highlighting key players, emerging technologies, and the challenges and opportunities that influence its growth and commercialization in the healthcare sector. Nanomedicines are nanotechnology-based drug products developed by combining suitable nanocarriers with active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to treat, diagnose, or prevent various diseases. The U.S. Food [...]
Scientists have found toxic PFAS in drinking water samples from around the world, with higher levels in tap water from China compared to the UK. Boiling water or using a filtration jug can reduce PFAS levels by up to 90%, offering a simple solution to minimize exposure. A new study reveals that scientists have [...]
New research reveals that microbes in urban environments are evolving to withstand the very cleaning agents designed to eliminate them. The study also uncovers new strains in Hong Kong, previously only found in the Antarctic desert soil. Since the recent pandemic, our use of disinfectants has surged, but could our push for sterile urban [...]
The study shows that frequent use of high-potency cannabis alters DNA, affecting genes related to energy and immune function. These changes differ between those with and without psychosis, suggesting cannabis use could influence mental health through biological pathways. According to new research from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience at King’s College London and the University of Exeter, the [...]
Inflammation of the arteries is a primary precursor and driver of cardiovascular disease—the No. 1 killer of people in the United States. This inflammation is associated with the buildup of dangerous plaque inside the arteries. Advanced treatments are needed to target this inflammation in patients. Michigan State University researchers have tested a new nanoparticle [...]
A groundbreaking research effort involving teams from the University of Virginia, Mount Sinai, the University of Michigan, the University of Texas, and others has displayed the clinical efficacy of an innovative therapy that utilizes nanoparticles and laser guidance for prostate cancer treatment. The findings were published in the Journal of Urology. The research, involving 44 men with [...]
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are used to prevent, detect, and treat a broad spectrum of non-communicable and communicable diseases. Over the past few years, the market for mAbs has grown exponentially with an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.07% from 2024 (237.64 billion USD estimated at the end of 2023) to 2033 (679.03 [...]
Researchers found that DNA mutations from antiviral enzymes and chemotherapy fuel early bladder cancer, while abnormal circular DNA in tumor cells drives resistance to therapy. These discoveries open new therapeutic avenues. A groundbreaking study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and the New York Genome Center has provided unprecedented insights into how bladder cancer begins and progresses. [...]
