Researchers develop an efficient, sensitive method to measure the levels of key oligosaccharides in human milk – helping to facilitate future research into their potential health benefits for babies...
Let's talk about lab water
Recent advances in lipidomics – the comprehensive analysis of the lipids in tissues and body fluids – offer exciting new opportunities to explore the biology of Alzheimer’s disease. Over 55 million...
The intensive pig farming industry is one of the largest consumers of antibiotics globally, and the easiest and fastest way to administer these drugs is through feed and automatic water proportioning...
Researchers detect long-lived biodegradable plastic residues – or microplastics - in agricultural fertilisers produced by industrial biowaste treatment facilities. Biodegradable plastics (BDP) are...
Using pesticides to protect crop yields is a common agricultural practice. However, these chemicals contain active substances that can pose risks for the ecosystem and human health if they leach into...
A new study suggests bacteriocins could offer an effective alternative to chemicals currently used in commercial teat dips to help protect dairy cows from mastitis. Mastitis – an infection that causes...
The number of countries suffering from shortages of fresh drinking water has risen significantly in recent years due to rapid population growth, climate change and the intensification of industries...
The use of state-of-the-art polymer-based hydrogels could offer alternatives to animal-derived biomaterials for 3D bioprinting and soft tissue engineering applications. Three-dimensional (3D)...
The leaching of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial or agricultural areas into drinking water poses a risk to human health. Understanding how the level of contamination changes over time...
