Cancer is a challenging enough diagnosis, but many patients are dealt a second blow, even as they heal: “chemo brain.” Also called “brain fog,” this mix of cognitive issues – memory problems, struggling to find words, an inability to concentrate – affects up to three-in-four cancer patients, according to multiple studies. For many, the effects…

As the US withdraws from the World Health Organization and cuts overseas aid, regional partnerships are critical to safeguarding the health of member countries in a region where climate change and chronic diseases loom large. These are some of the reflections of the WHO’s Western Pacific regional director, Saia Ma’u Piukala, on the health challenges…

Recent research has achieved significant advances in acoustofluidic technologies for efficient isolation and biomarker-specific detection of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs). Nevertheless, rapid and high-sensitivity analysis of low-volume clinical samples remains challenging, often requiring multi-step preprocessing and bulky instrumentation. By integrating sharp-edge microstructures with acoustically induced vortices, we enable size-selective concentration of target-bound complexes for immediate…

Cancer remains a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. Traditional therapies like chemotherapy and radiotherapy are often limited by their lack of specificity, leading to systemic toxicity and the emergence of drug resistance. Nanoparticles, with dimensions ranging from 1 to 100 nm, offer a sophisticated solution. Their unique physicochemical properties allow them to navigate…

Toshiba expands its automotive-grade surge-protection Zener diode lineup with the launch of the XCEZ series. These new diodes are housed in a small and versatile SOD-523 package, making them particularly suitable for space-constrained applications such as in-vehicle Infotainment (IVI), advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and battery management systems (BMS). With the electrification in the automotive industry, there…

Many Americans choose food based on cost and nutrition, but personal values, such as animal welfare and environmental concerns, also shape what ends up on our plates. Now, researchers at the Gerald J. and Dorothy R. Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University and the University of Nottingham Rights Lab and School of Geography have…
