More than 4 out of 5 older women survivors of colorectal cancer may be experiencing a range of gastrointestinal symptoms many years after being diagnosed and treated, a new study suggests.

Researchers have developed a coated floating sponge that, when paired with an oxidizing agent, destroys over 85% of algal cells from lake and river water samples. This could be used as a remediation technique for tackling harmful algal blooms.

Scientists have taken the quest to measure ancient ocean temperatures more accurately to the atomic level — findings critical in reconstructing past climates and the thermal history of sedimentary basins essential for oil and gas exploration.

PARP inhibitor drugs are currently used to treat some breast, ovarian and prostate cancers. New research suggests these drugs could also be used to treat cancers with changes to the SF3B1 gene.

Researchers have used mass spectrometry to identify ten blood proteins associated with mortality in severe burns. Three of these proteins may serve as targets for developing new treatment methods for burns.

CAR-T immune therapies could be effective against solid tumors if the right targets are identified, a new study led by University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign researchers suggests.

Results of a long-term, federally funded study of cognitively healthy adults have added to evidence that low spinal fluid levels of a protein may serve as an early predictor of mild cognitive impairment years before symptoms appear.

A new study has identified biomarkers for mental health risk that could be used to detect mental health problems earlier.

Researchers have applied a new recycling technique to flexible foam polyurethane, demonstrating that foam mattresses could be recycled instead of being sent to landfill or incinerators.

The potential of an ultrafast form of transmission electron microscopy to measure sound waves in nanostructures has been demonstrated, offering potential in high-resolution imaging at the nanometer scale.
