A review published in Genes & Diseases highlights the prostaglandin E2 receptor subtype 4 (EP4) as an important regulator of inflammation and a promising therapeutic target for a wide range of ...

Researchers have developed a novel composite hydrogel film that combines a polyacrylamide and calcium alginate polymer network with in-situ calcium carbonate mineralization. This innovative approach ...

Skin fibrosis includes hypertrophic scar (HTS), keloid scar (KS), and systemic sclerosis (SSc). These conditions share persistent fibroblast activation, excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition ...

Epidemiological studies link light at night (LAN), shift work, chronic jet lag (CJL), and core clock gene mutations to higher cancer risk and aggressive spread, especially in breast and colorectal ...

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are regulated under the Stockholm Convention because of their long-term risks to ecosystems and human health. Assessing environmental persistence and long-range ...

Polymer solar cells (PSCs) promise lightweight, flexible, and scalable solar energy, yet their efficiency still lags behind inorganic counterparts due to high exciton binding energy, low ambipolar ...

Traditional photodetectors rely on fixed designs: responsivity, dynamic range and spectral selectivity are set during fabrication. Silicon, the dominant material, has a relatively fixed bandgap and ...

Nitrobenzene can enter wastewater from industrial activities and resists many conventional treatment methods. Existing approaches may require added chemicals or convert the pollutant into intermediate ...

Spectroscopy has long been used to identify substances and probe their structures through characteristic absorption, emission, vibrational, and diffraction signals. Yet conventional spectral analysis ...

Food presentation plays an important role in a diner’s perception. Researchers in Japan found that diners perceived a sturgeon-filet dish as significantly healthier when its sauces were placed ...

The University of Tübingen is kicking off its 550th year at the start of the winter semester. The motto is the value of knowledge, and until the end of 2027 the University is offering an extensive ...
