Scientists have used a single-atom-thick nanomaterial to build a device that can simultaneously detect the presence of the viruses that cause COVID-19 and the flu. [ + ]

Introducing bacteria to a tumour's microenvironment creates a state of acute inflammation that triggers the immune system's primary responder cells to attack rather than protect a tumour. [ + ]

Researchers have successfully developed a strip-type urine sensor that can amplify the light signal of metabolites in urine for diagnosing cancer in the field. [ + ]

Researchers have found increasing emissions of several ozone-depleting chemicals, despite their production being banned for most uses under the Montreal Protocol. [ + ]

Researchers have demonstrated that a treatment called sublingual immunotherapy is effective and safe, offering durable desensitisation to peanuts in peanut-allergic children. [ + ]

Figuratively speaking, the molecule NLRP10 detects when the mitochondria in the cell start to smoke due to some malfunction. [ + ]

Researchers used a non-invasive imaging method to better study atherosclerosis in mice, which helps them to better understand and treat narrowing of blood vessels. [ + ]

Researchers speculate that Menin may be the key protein connecting the genetic, inflammatory and metabolic factors of aging. [ + ]

A newly developed molecule affords effective protection against coronavirus infection when sprayed into the nose, even after a few hours of exposure. [ + ]

Bacteriophages deploy a sneaky tactic when targeting their hosts: they use a standard genetic code when invading bacteria, then switch to an alternate code at later stages of infection. [ + ]

Astronomers have discovered one of the biggest black holes ever found — over 30 billion times the mass of the Sun — by taking advantage of gravitational lensing. [ + ]

Instead of having to take blood, the test enables a joey's stress levels to be measured through samples of their faecal droppings. [ + ]

If you live near a busy road, it may feel like the constant sound of roaring engines, honking horns and wailing sirens makes your blood pressure rise. [ + ]

The study found 42 areas across the genome that harbour variants that increase the risk of endometriosis. [ + ]

Researchers found that dark matter around black holes can generate significant dynamical friction, slowing down the orbital speed of companion stars in binary systems. [ + ]
