This paper develops a gelatin-based hydrogel dressing infused with bromothymol blue dye that visibly changes from yellow to blue as wound pH rises from 5.0 to 8.0, signaling possible infection. The color shift was visually detectable and statistically significant across all six Fitzpatrick skin tones, suggesting a low-cost ($0.40/dressing) tool for early infection monitoring in settings with limited access to care.

The authors test the effect of petroleum-based and bio-based microplastics on the growth of two microalgae species.

The authors test the antioxidant content of Taiwanese high mountain teas grown in or processed under differing conditions.

Antibiotic resistance is a growing global health threat, and one strategy to combat it is using bacteriophages to enhance the effectiveness of existing antibiotics. This study tested whether targeting the TolC protein in E. coli with the TLS bacteriophage would increase bacterial sensitivity to antibiotics.

The authors looked at the correlation between C reactive protein levels and neurological deficits in patients who had suffered an ischemic stroke.

The authors looked at energy efficient ways to generate small nitrogenous compounds.

The authors looked at four members of the tetracycline antibiotic family/class against four different species of bacteria.

The authors looked at the impacts of short-chain fatty acids on muscle fiber formation as well as insulin sensitivity using a model of mouse myoblasts.

This paper investigates the potential anticancer properties of Uvularia perfoliata by testing its effects on the viability of uveal melanoma cells.

Black goji berries have attracted interest for their high levels of anthocyanin pigment, which believed to have health-boosting effects. Yu and Zhu research a method for measuring goji berry quality by detecting anthocyanin content under different conditions.
