A new study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology examined associations between diet, drinking water, and “legacy” PFAS—chemicals that were phased out of production in the US in the 2000s—with blood samples from California residents. PFAS exposure was associated with consumption of seafood, eggs, and brown rice, but fewer other foods than suggested by earlier studies. PFAS levels were elevated among people who lived in areas where these chemicals were detectable in their drinking water supply, but lower than levels found in highly contaminated communities.
A four-year, $2.33 million grant from the National Eye Institute of the National Institutes of Health to Wayne State University is supporting research focused on improving and preserving vision and eye health in those with diabetes.
LOS ANGELES, May 13. 2025 – Researchers at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI) have developed a technique that could help advance treatments in tissue engineering. The study, published in the scientific journal Small, introduces a technique for producing tissues with precise cellular organization designed to mimic the natural structure of human tissue.
A comprehensive review published in Genomic Psychiatry examines how corticotropin releasing factor (CRF), an ancient stress neuropeptide, modulates dopamine pathways in nonhuman primates. The research illuminates crucial anatomical differences between rodent and primate brains, potentially explaining why translating rodent-based stress treatments to humans has proven challenging.
