Monash University researchers have developed a water filtration membrane that effectively removes small PFAS molecules, overcoming a significant challenge faced by conventional water filters. [ + ]

US researchers have conducted a cell-by-cell analysis of brain tissue from individuals with Tourette syndrome, pinpointing exactly which cells are perturbed and how they malfunction. [ + ]

The pain-on-a-chip concept has the potential to provide a biosensor platform for a minimally invasive and objective analysis method to discriminate between chronic pain subtypes. [ + ]

Researchers have engineered a way to fool the immune system into accepting neural grafts as part of the body, rather than attacking them as foreign objects. [ + ]

Researchers have successfully imaged living cells inside whole organs across volumes the size of a sugar cube. [ + ]

Researchers have discovered that the blood vessels at the back of the eye — called retinal microvasculature — can show early signs someone is at risk of developing dementia. [ + ]

Minister for Industry and Science Ed Husic has allocated $158 million to three new Cooperative Research Centres: the SMART CRC, Additive Manufacturing CRC and Care Economy CRC. [ + ]

Pancreatic cancer hijacks a molecule known for regulating physiological processes, such as food intake and energy balance, and uses it to promote its own spread. [ + ]

In an effort to understand how brain cells exchange chemical messages, scientists have utilised a highly specialised microscope. [ + ]
