Researchers at ĢƵ have identifiedbacteria that can indicate whether a blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) bloom is likely to be toxic, offering a potential water-safety early warning system. Blooms are becoming more frequent due to climate change, according toprevious ĢƵ research. They can produce various contaminants, known as cyanotoxins, that pose serious health risks to humans, pets and wildlife.

ĢƵ team develops hydrogel that outlasted current treatments in a preclinical study, a step toward reducing the need for repeat procedures

ĢƵ researchers have engineered a new hydrogel that shows early promise as a treatment for people with vocal cord injuries.

Voice loss is often permanent when scarring forms on the vocal cords. Current injectable treatments break down quickly, which can force patients to get repeated procedures that can further damage the delicate tissue.
