10-Mar-2026 HKU marine scientists reveal giant clam feeding strategy could determine their future survival The University of Hong Kong A research team from the Swire Institute of Marine Science (SWIMS) and the School of Biological Sciences of The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has helped address this question by developing an innovative mathematical model that allows conservationists to easily assess feeding strategies of different giant clam species. This knowledge can help conservationists to predict the future vulnerability of different giant clam species and identify those in need of timely protection. Journal Communications Biology
10-Mar-2026 Miniature laser technology could bring lab testing into your home Chalmers University of Technology A research team at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, has developed new laser technology that could lead to tiny, cost-effective biosensors. The sensors integrate lasers and optics together on a centimeter-sized chip, which could move testing from hospitals to patients' homes. This, in turn, would free up hospital beds and reduce visits to clinics. Journal ACS Sensors

9-Mar-2026 Lactose-free milk presents an opportunity to boost dairy consumption—and coffee shop visits—with coffee drinkers Elsevier For many coffee drinkers, choosing milk for their coffee shop order often involves navigating a growing list of choices, each carrying different expectations around taste, digestibility, cost, and more. A new study in the Journal of Dairy Science, published by Elsevier, provides a closer examination of how consumers make these decisions, investigating what drives the choice between dairy milk and plant-based milk alternatives in coffee, as well as how the availability of lactose-free dairy milk influences those preferences. The results reveal that the coffee shop market has a potentially underserved group of consumers who might prefer lactose-free milk in their drink orders—and would visit coffee shops more if it were available.

9-Mar-2026 Electrostatic attraction-directed membrane anchoring as a universal tool to enhance nanocarrier uptake into drug-resistant cancer cells Tsinghua University Press The development of drug resistance, a natural consequence of cancer progression, has become a major obstacle to effective treatment. Due to the overexpression of drug resistance-related proteins and the distinctive properties of resistant cell membranes, achieving efficient internalization of nanomedicines into these cells remains highly challenging. Surface charge engineering has proven pivotal in nanomedicine design, with electrostatic interaction–mediated membrane anchoring of nanocarriers representing a critical breakthrough for advancing drug-resistant cancer therapy.
