Researchers identifies mechanism by which chronic stress causes hair colour loss

Researchers have identified for the first time the mechanism by which chronic stress causes hair colour loss, an advance that may lead to the development of novel drugs which can prevent the whitening of hair. In the study, published in the journal Nature, the scientists induced intense pain in special black mice for several weeks using a substance called resiniferatoxin, and turned the animals' fur completely white.<br />'' <br />'' Thiago Mattar Cunha from Harvard University i...

Researchers develop an eco-friendly process to remove pollutants from water

Researchers have developed a wastewater treatment process that uses a common agricultural byproduct to effectively remove pollutants and environmental hormones, known as endocrine disruptors.<br />'' <br />'' The sewage and wastewater that are inevitably produced at any industrial worksite often contain large quantities of pollutants and environmental hormones. <br />'' <br />'' Because environmental hormones do not break down easily, they can have a significant negative ...
