Are you ready for the TGA's GCP inspection program?
The program shifts the chance of any one trial site being routinely inspected by the TGA from zero to about 4%, with the expectation that this will improve compliance. [ + ]
Stomach stem cells switch function upon injury
A stomach adult stem cell population can fulfil two distinct functions: either help with digestion under normal conditions or take the lead on injury response. [ + ]
NASA releases more images from Webb telescope
NASA has released further images and insights from the James Webb Space Telescope, providing an unprecedented view into various cosmic phenomena. [ + ]
Probiotics can help to tackle depression
Researchers have shown that probiotics can support the effect of antidepressants and help to alleviate depression. [ + ]
Climate change drives more atmospheric methane than we thought
The Earth could be both delivering more, and removing less, methane into the air than previously estimated, with the result that more heat is being trapped in the atmosphere. [ + ]
Astrocytic urea cycle controls memory impairment in Alzheimer's
Researchers reveal the urea cycle in astrocytes as the link between amyloid-beta accumulation and memory loss, uncovering a therapeutic target to treat Alzheimer's. [ + ]
Fine-tuning CAR T cell therapy to reduce side effects
Researchers fine-tuned the cells used in immunotherapy so that their activity is strong enough to eliminate cancer but not so strong that they generate toxic side effects. [ + ]
Chiral analysis identifies fake perfumes and more
Researchers have been able to identify chiral compounds within complex mixtures of gases with a high level of sensitivity and in real time. [ + ]
Upright liquid nitrogen biorepositories: safe, reliable and controllable
Upright LN2 freezers remove the risk of direct contact with liquid nitrogen associated with cryovats. [ + ]
How traumatic brain injury changes the brain
Scientists have discovered that an injury to one part of the brain changes the connections between nerve cells across the entire brain. [ + ]
Hypertension linked to irregular sleep, 'forever chemicals'
An increased risk of high blood pressure has been linked to irregularities in sleep as well as to higher concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in the blood. [ + ]
Microplastics, severe deglaciation observed in Antarctica
A new study reveals microplastics in Antarctic snow, while another suggests two major glaciers may be losing ice faster than they have in the last 5000 years. [ + ]
Ancient asteroid samples shed light on the solar system
Researchers reveal the results of their mineralogical and chemical analyses of rock samples from the asteroid Ryugu, which were transported to Earth 18 months ago. [ + ]
Scientists getting closer to outsmarting malaria parasites
Researchers have discovered why malaria parasites are vulnerable to some drug therapies but resistant to others. [ + ]
Liquid gallium–platinum combo for industrial chemistry
Scientists have found a way to use tiny amounts of platinum to create powerful reactions, without expensive energy costs, by combining the platinum with liquid gallium. [ + ]
