    Health care workers, firefighters have increased PFAS levels, study finds

    A study including researchers from the University of Arizona Health Sciences and published in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology found that firefighters had higher concentrations of certain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, and health care workers had moderate elevations of PFAS in their blood with significantly higher odds of two specific PFAS when compared with other essential workers.

    “Our study reinforces previous research showing elevated PFAS…

    Lab-on-a-chip devices take public health into home

    University of Cincinnati engineers created a new device to help doctors diagnose depression and anxiety.

    UC College of Engineering and Applied Science Distinguished Research Professor Chong Ahn and his students developed a “lab-on-a-chip” device that measures the stress hormone cortisol from a patient’s saliva. Knowing if a patient has elevated stress hormones can provide useful diagnostic information even if patients do not report feelings of anxiety, stress or depression in a standard…

    Unique model of rare epileptic disease helps pinpoint potential treatment route

    While extremely rare, encephalopathy (a condition affecting brain function) triggered by mutations in the UBA5 gene has devastating impacts, with affected individuals reaching few developmental milestones and experiencing frequent and early-onset seizures. Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital created a first-of-its-kind cortical organoid model for the disorder, studying how it causes developmental defects and identifying potential ways to treat it. The findings were published…

    3D printing in vivo using sound

    Imagine if doctors could precisely print miniature capsules capable of delivering cells needed for tissue repair exactly where they are needed inside a beating heart. A team of scientists led by Caltech has taken a significant step toward that ultimate goal, having developed a method for 3D printing polymers at specific locations deep within living animals. The technique relies on sound for localization and has already been used to print polymer capsules for selective drug delivery as well…
