A new study from Karolinska Institutet reveals that immune cells in the liver react to high cholesterol levels and eat up excess cholesterol that can otherwise cause damage to arteries.

Researchers have uncovered thousands of previously unknown bile acids that the gut microbiome uses to communicate with the rest of the body.

MIT chemists have designed a sensor that detects tiny quantities of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) — chemicals found in food packaging, nonstick cookware, and many other consumer products.

Researchers at DZNE provide evidence that traces of the widely used PFAS chemicals in human blood are associated with unfavorable lipid profiles and thus with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Micro- and nanoplastic particles remain in cells for much longer than previously thought, and can be passed from cell to cell during division, shows new research.

Adhesive tape or sticky notes are easy to attach to a surface, but are difficult to remove. Now, researchers have discovered that this "adhesion hysteresis" is caused by the rough surfaces of the adherent soft materials.

Viscose has been manufactured from worn-out cotton sheets, making it fully recycled for the first time, saving valuable forest resources.

New research suggests that observing how heat flows in conjunction with electricity can give important insights into battery chemistry.

The new cathode material for lithium-sulfur batteries is healable and highly conductive.

In a new study, Columbia Engineering researchers report that they have built highly conductive, tunable single-molecule devices in which the molecule is attached to leads by using direct metal-metal contacts.
