    Newly discovered fungus helps destroy a harmful food toxin

    Scientists identify a fungal strain that transforms patulin, a dangerous mycotoxin sometimes found in fruits, into less toxic byproducts Patulin is a harmful mycotoxin produced...

    Towards better batteries, fuel cells with dispersibility estimation for carbon electrode slurries

    Carbon slurries, which consist of a suspension of carbon particles in a solvent, are used to mass-produce battery electrodes. However, there are no adequate...

    Filling in the gaps: Japan’s student problem

    Japan's declining population will leave it with 20 percent fewer undergraduates by 2050. What are the challenges the country would face as it tries...

    Extracting blood-induced color changes on the face for non-contact heart rate estimation

    Researchers from Japan propose a novel non-contact method that utilizes subtle color changes on the face to estimate heart rates Heart rate, an essential indicator...

    Sweat it out: Monitoring sweat electrolytes for healthcare and sports

    Wearable sensors are becoming a promising tool in personalized healthcare and exercise monitoring. In a recent study, researchers from Japan develop a novel wearable...

    Redox-based transistor as reservoir system for neuromorphic computing

    Physical systems known as “reservoirs” are designed to emulate neural networks and meet the need for improved computational efficiency and speed. Overcoming the previous...

    Midgut Gland of Scallops: A Valuable Source of Fucosylated Heparan Sulfate

    Researchers show that fucosylated heparan sulfate, a branched acidic glycosaminoglycan, exhibits anticoagulating and neurite outgrowth-promoting activities Marine invertebrates, including bivalve mollusks like scallops, are potential...

    A novel nanocluster for improved oxygen reduction reaction in fuel cells

    Scientists have elucidated the reason for the new catalyst's high activity, which is 2.1 times higher than commercial platinum nanoparticle-based catalysts Hydrogen, derived from polymer...

    Investigations into factors controlling growth and lignin synthesis in spruce

    Enzymes producing reactive oxygen species may be involved in lignin biosynthesis and growth of coniferous plants Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are toxic compounds generated by...

    Anticancer drugs with fewer side-effects

    Scientists from Japan reveal the crystal structure of a cell cycle motor protein, which could be a potential anticancer drug candidate Many anticancer drugs have...

    Study unravels pathophysiological role of dectin-1 in promoting colorectal cancer

    The team led by Tokyo University of Science researchers identified the mechanism using mouse models and validated it with clinical samples Colorectal cancer is associated...

    Aroma component of rose fragrance as a novel immunomodulator

    Researchers from Tokyo identified a natural immunomodulator, β-damascone, and explored its molecular function in detail. Dendritic cells (DCs) perform several important immunological functions. However, their...
