Now, an international research team led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has proposed a new way of understanding infections. Their study of close to 400 respiratory samples from patients with bronchiectasis, a chronic lung condition, has shown that microbes in the body exist as a network, and that an infection s severity could be a result of interactions between these microbes.

Plos One. 2020;15(12):e0238568 Only 20% of primary liver cancer or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are diagnosed at an early stage, which makes early detection an urgent, unmet healthcare need. Study aims to develop more accurate diagnostics for early HCC, an AI algorithm to predict an individual s risk of developing HCC, and discover novel molecular targets to prevent the development of HCC.

VIDEO: Scientists led by NTU Singapore have developed an eco-friendly pollen sponge to tackle water contaminants, making it a promising alternative to tackle marine oil spills. view more Credit: NTU Singapore A team of scientists led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has created a reusable, biodegradable sponge that can readily soak up oil and other organic solvents from contaminated water sources, making it a promising alternative for tackling marine oil spills. Made of sunflower pollen, the sponge is hydrophobic - it repels water - thanks to a coat of natural fatty acid on the sponge. In lab experiments, the scientists showed the sponge s ability to absorb oil contaminants of various densities, such as gasoline and motor oil, at a rate comparable to that of commercial oil absorbents.
