How do we use the information obtained from metabolomics approaches to move towards personalized nutrition? That's the focus of this interview with Professor Lorraine Brennan, Conway Fellow and principal investigator at the University College Dublin Institute of Food and Health.

Automated facial recognition enables the identification or verification of someone using the unique characteristics of their face and has many applications from law enforcement to security clearance. However, it is not foolproof and may cause a unique set of problems, so careful selection of facial recognition solutions is important.

An ambitious new research project powered by hitherto inaccessible techniques is investigating whether a crowded cellular environment might have a role to play in the origin of neurodegeneration.

With electronics imbedded in so many products, researchers, engineers, and technicians need to be able to determine the visual quality and chemical composition of components quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively. But is the industry overlooking potentially better solutions to achieve this?

The first widespread reports that SARS-CoV-2 might be affecting our nervous system were quite innocuous. But over the following months, reports of far more severe neurological side effects emerged. In this article, we take a look at the neurological symptoms of COVID-19.

We have all heard about air pollution and how it can be detrimental to our health, the deterioration of air quality caused by factories, cars, and energy production. But there may be a source of air pollution in your home that you weren't expecting.

Technology Networks recently had the pleasure of speaking with Prof. Birgitta Wöhrl from the University of Bayreuth New research. Their research shows that the heating process does not significantly alter the protein structures within carrots enough to enable them to be safely consumed by those with allergies.

CRISPR has been a challenge to implement due to a range of limitations. As a community, we must set aside our excitement to take a clear-eyed look at the hurdles that need to be overcome before CRISPR can achieve the potential we believe it has.

In a recent preprint study, a team of researchers from Gladstone Institutes discovered new insights into how SARS-CoV-2 causes heart damage. To learn more about the findings and their implications for the monitoring and treatment of COVID-19 patients, we spoke to Bruce Conklin, MD, senior investigator at Gladstone Institutes.

Whilst the development of radiotherapy began as early as 1900 – with Marie and Pierre Curie suggesting X-rays could be used to treat tumors – radiotherapy, as we know it, wasn’t conceived until the 1920s. In this article, we take a closer look at how radiotherapy is used to treat cancer.
