Kill More Germs by Cleaning… Less?

Kill More Germs by Cleaning… Less?

There’s clean, and then there’s CLEAN. Even if something looks clean, it might still be harboring microbes – many of them harmless, some of them definitely not. With most of the ways that we clean and disinfect — that is, kill germs — the clean doesn’t last as long as you might think.

Zinc Oxide-Based Sunscreens Lose Effectiveness and Become Toxic After 2 Hours, Study Finds

Sunscreen that includes zinc oxide, a common ingredient, loses much of its effectiveness and becomes toxic after two hours of exposure to ultraviolet radiation, according to recent work.

Neural "Noise" May Signal Psychiatric Treatment Efficacy

Researchers have shown that moment-to-moment fluctuations in brain activity can reliably predict whether patients with social anxiety disorder will be receptive to cognitive behavioral therapy.

Singing and Imagined Singing Prompts "Flow-Like" Brain States

A research team has identified how the brain changes when artists are in a state of “flow” and found that simply imagining improvised performances elicits the same flow-like brain states as when musicians are singing.

Brain Activity After Trauma May Predict Mental Health Outcomes

The way a person’s brain responds to stress following a traumatic event, such as a car accident, may help to predict their long-term mental health outcomes.

Investigating Why Small Cell Lung Cancer Is So Aggressive

The Human Tumor Atlas Network was created to develop high-resolution maps of many kinds of cancer so that doctors could have a more complete view of the textured terrain of tumors, including how they become more deadly. The first such atlas for small cell lung cancer is now ready for viewing.

The Neuroscience of... Creativity

The Neuroscience of... Creativity

Given the scale of human ingenuity, it has been no mean feat for science to define and study the neural basis of the creative process. In this article, the latest in our “The Neuroscience of…” series, we investigate the research that has attempted to understand where creativity emerges in the brain and why it exists in the first place.

Pyrolysis-GC-MS: A Powerful Tool for Microplastics Analysis

In this article, we explore py-GC-MS, how it can be used in the field of microplastic analysis and the advantages it may offer over traditional methods based on microscopy or spectroscopy.

Uncovering Key Interactions Between Cancer-Driving Proteins

Research conducted as part of the Cancer Cell Map Initiative (CCMI), has revealed interactions between cancer-driving proteins, that were unknown, until now. Findings were published in three separate papers in Science.

Bioelectric Assay Identifies Potential COVID-19 Therapeutic Targets

Bioelectronic assays extend our ability to quickly study interactions between cells, viruses, and therapeutics in real time over days, in one plate, without interference by labels or tags. This article highlights how the effect of various therapeutics on the cell-killing behavior of SARS-CoV-2 was assessed using a bioelectronic assay.

A Note to the Vaccinated: Thank You and Be Reassured

Recent headlines sparked fear after discussing waning immunity to SARS-CoV-2 after vaccination. In this op-ed, immunologist Michael Kinch addresses the subject of the articles and explains why it is normal for antibody levels in the blood to wane over time.
