Opening the black box of biological aging clocks
1+ day, 21+ hour ago (588+ words) What do "epigenetic clocks" actually measure? These lab tests have become popular tools for studying biological aging, or how the body's cellular function changes at a faster or slower rate than expected. However, the underlying biology behind each of these…...
Advanced wastewater treatments may create unexpected environmental risks
1+ day, 21+ hour ago (348+ words) Advanced wastewater treatment technologies are widely used to remove pollutants and pathogens before treated water is discharged or reused. However, a new study suggests that some of these processes may also create an overlooked environmental risk. The study, published in…...
