Researchers are investigating how deforestation can affect the action of pathogens that cause diseases such as chytridiomycosis, which has devastated frog populations worldwide in recent decades.

The discovery that water microdroplets can replace potentially toxic agents in the creation of gold nanoparticles and nanowires could help usher in a new era of “green chemistry.”

Molecular and advanced functional imaging are to be used to compare the brain effects of placebo, THC, and CBD related to attention, memory, processing of novelty and change as well as stress and pain.

Researchers describe the first retrospective dosimetric study by electron spin resonance spectroscopy using human tissue from nuclear attack victims.

Current evidence suggests that medicinal cannabis could be a less dangerous alternative to current drugs on the market.

Worse cognitive function in soccer players stems mainly from frequent ball heading rather than unintentional head impacts due to collisions

Researchers have discovered why many multiple myeloma patients experience severe pain when treated with the anticancer drug bortezomib. The study suggests that a drug already approved to treat multiple sclerosis could mitigate this effect, allowing myeloma patients to successfully complete their treatment and relieving the pain of myeloma survivors.

A study utilizing Raman spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, has found that the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa communicates distress signals within a group of bacteria in response to certain antibiotics. Communication varied across the colony suggesting that this bacterium may develop protective behaviors that contribute to its ability to tolerate some antibiotics.

Doctors could be a step closer to finding the most effective way to treat cancer with a double whammy of a virus combined with boosting the natural immune system, according to a pioneering study by researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) and The Ohio State University.
