Researchers have shown that in middle-aged men, obstructive sleep apnoea can cause early cognitive decline — even in patients who are otherwise healthy. [ + ]

Liquid nitrogen freezers safely deliver temperature-controlled freezing down to ‑160°C in minutes to preserve drug products, active ingredients and biological samples. [ + ]

Researchers have developed an optimised genome-editing method that reduces mutations, opening the door to more effective treatment of genetic diseases. [ + ]

Researchers have found a strong correlation between elevated hypertension and irregular sleep duration and timing, as well as between sleep problems and risk of stroke. [ + ]

Some plants can survive months without water, only to turn green again after a brief downpour. This ability is a consequence of a whole network of genes, almost all of which are present in more vulnerable varieties. [ + ]

We are on the precipice of an explosion in local manufacturing of genetic medicines on a scale never seen before, with global equitable access. [ + ]

Embryos in pregnancies that end in miscarriage take longer to develop in the womb than those in pregnancies that result in live births. [ + ]

Farmers worldwide have grappled with a severe fertiliser shortage. At the same time, wastewater professionals have dealt with the reality of ammonia-filled wastewater. [ + ]

It is important to understand that spot-checking is different from field calibration. This article will briefly go over some of the differences. [ + ]

Researchers have identified an intestinal immune cell that impacts the gut microbiome, which in turn may affect brain functions linked to stress-induced disorders such as depression. [ + ]

Astronomers have claimed that the explosion is the brightest burst of X-ray and gamma-ray energies since human civilisation began. [ + ]

Researchers are using artificial intelligence and ECG heart monitoring as a way to non-invasively estimate developmental age in premature babies. [ + ]

Through whole-genome sequencing, researchers uncovered important information about Beethoven's health and posed new questions about his ancestry and cause of death. [ + ]

There have been growing concerns about exposure to head trauma in sport and whether it can lead to increased risk of neurodegenerative disease later in life. [ + ]

Researchers have found that only a tiny portion of the global population is exposed to levels of PM_2.5 below those recommended by the WHO, resulting in risks to our health. [ + ]
