‘Lost’ 99% of ocean microplastics to be identified with dye?
The smallest microplastics present in our oceans – which go largely undetected and are potentially harmful – could be more effectively identified using an innovative and inexpensive new method, developed by researchers at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½.
Colon cancer breakthrough could lead to prevention
Colon cancer, Crohn’s, and other diseases of the gut could be better treated – or even prevented – thanks to a new link between inflammation and a common cellular process, established by the ¹û¶³´«Ã½.
Scientists create endocytosis on demand by ‘hotwiring’ cells
