Astronomy is entering a new era with the Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS), a state-of-the-art instrument recently installed on the Subaru telescope in Hawai’i. Developed as part of an international collaboration, this spectrograph makes it possible to simultaneously observe thousands of celestial objects and analyse their light with unrivalled precision. Thanks to this technology, astronomers will […]

Airborne mold is a critical issue in healthcare, research, and industrial environments. Spores such as Aspergillus fumigatus can spread through ventilation systems and contaminate sterile areas, putting vulnerable individuals at risk and jeopardizing product safety. Whether in hospitals, laboratories, cleanrooms, or food production sites, effective mold monitoring is essential. To ensure accurate detection and response, […]

Ghrelin, widely recognized as the hunger hormone, is now under the spotlight for its role in mental health. Recent studies suggest that this metabolic signal may influence mood, especially in individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD). This connection between ghrelin and emotional states reveals new possibilities for understanding the gut-brain axis. Ghrelin levels rise during fasting […]

For researchers studying autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), accessing high-quality protein samples is essential for uncovering disease mechanisms and exploring therapeutic targets. The challenge lies in developing protocols that provide consistent and reproducible results while preserving sample integrity. The Precellys Evolution Touch tissue homogenizer has proven to be a reliable tool for addressing these needs. […]
