Hypoxia - or low oxygen levels in bodily tissues - was thought to have a protective effect on cells affected by acute myeloid leukaemia, but a new piece of research presented at MLS Future Forum suggests that the picture isn’t quite so straightforward.
Hospital superbugs that cause sepsis and meningitis could be hitching a ride on mobile phones, allowing them to escape out of healthcare settings and into the community, according to research presented at MLS Future Forum earlier this year.
Leading disability & LGBTQIA+ advocate Max Fisher, a Senior Research Associate at ViaNautis Bio, opens up on their STEM journey - and how it led them to MLSFF.
New research shared at the Minoritised Life Scientists Future Forum has uncovered a prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) connection that could offer new targets to help with managing inflammation-driven colorectal cancer (CRC).
They may be more familiar as a room scent but a new study presented at the Minoritised Life Scientists Future Forum reveals that lavender and lemongrass essential oils are effective against thrush, even at low levels.
Lemongrass essential oil can be even more effective than traditional antibiotics against some Streptococcus bacteria under certain conditions, new research to be presented at MLSFF26 has found.
A key player in MLSFF, Nicolas Farmer marks International Day of LGBTQIA+ People In STEM day by opening up on his journey in STEM as a Black and queer person - and reveals why finding community is vital.
Lozenges supplemented with liquorice root extract could be an effective remedy against upper respiratory tract infections while protecting microbes that are beneficial to the body, reveals a study presented at MLS Future Forum.
An investigation into a protein that helps to lubricate human joints could help to open up new avenues for treating a rare genetic musculoskeletal condition that has no current treatment. A poster presented at MLS Future Forum illuminated the important role of lubricin in patients with Camptodactyly-Arthropathy-Coxa Vara-Pericarditis (CACP).
