The human body is a marvel of remake and renewal. We regularly replace some of our estimated 37 trillion cells – about 300 billion or 1 percent of our cells each day - with healthy substitutes. We remove damaged or aging, senescent cells and cellular debris from our organs and tissues every second of the day. How important is it that cellular waste be properly removed?

Judges are often accused of sitting in an ivory tower. Wrongly accused, says Nienke Doornbos, associate professor of Sociology of Law at the University of Amsterdam. She researched courtroom culture in civil cases, focusing on the role of judges. ‘It is important for the acceptance of the judiciary that people feel heard.’

Researchers at the Swammerdam Institute for Life Sciences (SILS) of the Faculty of Science have uncovered how mammary-gland cells decide when to activate Wnt4, a gene with a central role in mammary-gland development. Their findings reveal how distant stretches of non-coding DNA work together in three dimensions to control gene activity.

Drier climates are exacerbating an expensive problem for millions of Australians whose homes sit on expansive soils prone to shrinkage cracks, which have already cost insurance companies and individuals billions of dollars in damage bills. A new study by Adelaide University, using computer modelling and field observations, shows that homes are more vulnerable to damage than previously thought, and climate change is expected to worsen the problem in coming years. With 20-30% of Australian surface

Triplet excited states of organic molecules play essential roles in photocatalysis, photodynamic therapy, photon upconversion, and organic optoelectronic applications. However, achieving efficient triplet generation in purely organic molecules remains challenging because of their intrinsically weak spin–orbit coupling. Spin–orbit charge-transfer intersystem crossing (SOCT-ISC) has emerged as a pro

Immune cells that normally protect the body from damage by attacking foreign or infected cells are found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders at much higher levels than in healthy brains. The cells appear to contribute to neurodegeneration, but where they were coming from, and how they were primed to accumulate in the brain, was not known. Researchers at Washing
