CAMBRIDGE, UK and CAMBRIDGE, USA, March 23, 2026: Abselion, a pioneering life sciences technology company focused on simplifying the quantification of biomolecules, today announced the appointment of Dale Gordon as Chairman of the Board. His appointment strengthens Abselion’s governance and board-level expertise, adding experienced commercial and bioprocess leadership as the company continues to develop its global commitments, building on its recently established U.S. subsidiary. Abcelion is committed to building a well-managed organization that can support collaboration and reliable delivery as interest in the Amperia™ protein quantification system grows internationally. As Chair, Dale will help ensure sustainable growth and long-term value…

Recent research published in Affective Disorders Journal suggest that deep-rooted negative beliefs formed during childhood influence how borderline personality traits manifest in people with bipolar disorder. This study provides evidence that people with severe borderline traits experience a stronger psychological web of negative relationship patterns and self-harm than those with milder traits. These findings provide new insights into how mental health professionals can better tailor treatments for complex mood disorders. Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, including high emotions and depression. Many people with this condition also exhibit borderline personality traits. These characteristics include…

Scientists have discovered surprising risks associated with blocking a cellular enzyme once believed to protect against fatty liver disease. Blocking this enzyme may not be effective in the long term and may increase the likelihood of chronic liver damage and cancer as we age. In a study published in scientific progressresearchers at the University of Adelaide discovered that loss of the enzyme caspase-2 causes liver cells to proliferate abnormally. This uncontrolled growth causes inflammation, scarring, and increases the chance of developing liver cancer. These results question the growing interest in caspase-2 inhibitors as a therapy to manage or prevent fatty…

This article is a partnership between Inside Climate News, Grist, and WBEZ, a public radio station serving the Chicago metropolitan area. Illinois is in the midst of a public health crisis. Approximately 1.5 million pipes that carry drinking water to homes and businesses contain or are suspected of containing lead, a neurotoxin linked to cognitive, reproductive, and cardiovascular problems. Now, public health and workforce advocates hope to turn the state’s long-overdue pipe replacement backlog into a statewide economic engine, creating up to 90,000 jobs over 10 years. A recent report proposes a plan to replace the state’s vast amount of…

Climate scientists drilled 500 feet into an ice floe on the Antarctic ocean floor and retrieved a rare record of 23 million years of sediment. This record helps prove why Antarctica’s southern ice shield determines the fate of remote, low-lying coastal areas. Layers of rock, silt, and fossils are like pages from a book of geological time, revealing how West Antarctica’s vast ice sheets and floating shelves responded rapidly to modest warming, with significant shrinkage and melting in a climate similar to today. Together with other new modeling studies and analyzes of current ice retreat, the marine sediment core samples…

Researchers supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have developed a new blood test designed to identify pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, one of the deadliest types of cancer. Because pancreatic cancer is often discovered only at an advanced stage, treatment options are limited and survival rates remain low. For more information on this new approach, see clinical cancer researchwhich could help detect the disease earlier and improve patient outcomes. Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis, with only about 10% of patients surviving more than 5 years after diagnosis. But doctors believe survival rates could be significantly improved if the disease…

Australian researchers have taken a significant step in the field of energy storage by successfully developing and testing what is believed to be the world’s first proof-of-concept quantum battery. Scientists say the new technology could reshape the way energy is stored and delivered, allowing devices to be charged dramatically faster. First quantum battery developed and tested The project was led by CSIRO in collaboration with the University of Melbourne and RMIT, and the results are Natural light: science and applications. Key contributors include University of Melbourne researchers Associate Professor James Hutchison and Professor Trevor Smith. “Like conventional batteries, quantum batteries…

For millions of people living with HIV, daily medication is a lifelong necessity. When people stop taking drugs, commonly called antiretroviral therapy, the virus usually returns quickly within a few weeks. But it doesn’t apply to everyone. Scientists are puzzled by rare people who continue to suppress the virus for months or even years after stopping drug therapy. Surprisingly, a small number of people recover much more slowly, taking months or even longer to recover. ” Nadia Lone, Ph.D., Senior Research Fellow, Gladstone Institute In a study published in a journal immunityRoan and her team are beginning to…

Nationally, heat-related mortality rates have increased by nearly 17 percent annually since 2016. As a result, New York City now issues heat warnings and opens cooling centers when the heat index is predicted to reach 95 degrees Fahrenheit or higher for at least two consecutive days, or when the heat index is predicted to reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Older people, on the other hand, are known to be at higher risk of heatstroke and related mortality, have chronic heat-sensitive illnesses such as heart disease, kidney disease, and diabetes, and are more likely to take medications that impair heat…

Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity without resistance, usually only at extremely low temperatures. Although most follow well-understood physical laws, strontium ruthenate (Sr2RuO4) has remained elusive since its superconducting behavior was first identified in 1994. It is one of the most precisely studied unconventional superconductors, but researchers still disagree on how its electrons pair up and what symmetries govern the process. One way scientists study superconductors is by observing how the superconducting transition temperature, known as Tc, responds to strain. When a crystal is stretched, compressed, or twisted, the different superconducting states react in different ways. Previous studies, particularly…
