The hazards associated with microplastic pollution are becoming increasingly recognized. However, one study suggests that researchers have misjudged the impacts of nanoplastics — the insidiously ...

Hydrolysis constants of mixed sludge at 35, 55, and 60 °C were found to be 0.32, 0.44, and 0.50 1/d, respectively, in pilot-scale, semicontinuously operated anaerobic digesters. The hydrolysis ...

The Gastrointestinal Experimental Model Systems Core (GEMS) is subdivided into two subcores: organoid and gnotobiotic sub-cores. The core’s centralized services support exciting scientific ...

New research finds there is significant variation in the anatomy of the human digestive system, with pronounced differences possible between healthy individuals. The finding has implications for ...

When it comes to digestion, chewing is only half the battle. As food travels from your mouth into your digestive system, it’s broken down by digestive enzymes that turn it into smaller nutrients that ...
