Introducing the 'Polyphenols Innovation Network': Catalyzing advances in polyphenols research
2023-07-27
(Press-News.org) Malta – We are delighted to announce the launch of the Polyphenols Innovation Network (PIN), a pioneering initiative designed to accelerate progress in the field of polyphenols research by fostering a collaborative and innovative environment.
Under the banner of PIN, our mission is to assemble a diverse team of multidisciplinary experts, committed to advancing the frontiers of polyphenols research, applications, and innovation.
Projects of PIN:
Three pioneering projects have been earmarked for initiation under the auspices of PIN:
1. AI and Polyphenols: This project will utilize AI's power to delve deeper into the understanding and utilization of polyphenols, aiming to develop predictive models for identifying novel therapeutic polyphenols and optimizing their formulations.
2. Space Food & Polyphenols: This project centers on creating polyphenol-enriched space food to boost astronauts' nutrition and well-being during space missions.
3. Longevity and Polyphenols: Our focus here is on exploring the role of polyphenols in promoting longevity and preventing age-related diseases. We aim to uncover the molecular mechanisms through which polyphenols exert their beneficial effects on lifespan and healthspan.
The Polyphenols Innovation Network is dedicated to securing necessary resources from public and private institutions to support these groundbreaking efforts.
We invite interested researchers and teams to join PIN by submitting their project proposals to projects@polyphenols-site.com by August 31.
Submissions should include a project overview, its alignment with PIN's goals, anticipated challenges and proposed solutions, and a team profile. Proposals will be evaluated by our Selection Committee, and successful applicants will be invited to participate in the next phase of our initiative.
More information about the Polyphenols Innovation Network, funding, submission guidelines and more.
Successful applicants will be chose to integrate the PIN during the 16th World Congress on Polyphenols Application 2023 (September 28-29, Malta).

INDIANAPOLIS – Accessing neurologic care often presents physical, geographical and financial challenges to patients, many of whom face chronic and disabling conditions. With a nationwide scarcity of neurologists in the U.S., especially in rural areas, disparities in access to timely neurological assessment and treatment are not uncommon. Telehealth addresses access to care as well as other inequity issues.
To meet the need for prompter care and to diminish disparity for rural veterans, the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA) National Teleneurology Program was funded in 2019 by the VA’s Office of Rural Health. The program is a patient-centered, ...

The global outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and its new variants has created a need for effective disinfection technologies to protect against harmful pathogens. While vaccines offer some protection, their effectiveness against future variants is uncertain. Therefore, additional strategies are important during the pre-vaccine stage.
UV irradiation has lately emerged as a safe, effective, and convenient strategy to inactivate and eliminate disease-causing micro-organisms. The wavelength range of 200-235 ...

Separation processes are essential in the purification and concentration of a target molecule during water purification, removal of pollutants, and heat pumping, accounting for 10–15% of global energy consumption. To make the separation processes more energy efficient, improvement in the design of porous materials is necessary. This could drastically reduce energy costs by about 40–70%. The primary approach to improving the separation performance is to precisely control the pore structure.
In this regard, ...

Did you know rivers carry about 40 trillion metric tons of river water into the ocean every year? This meeting point, known as the estuary, holds great potential for electricity generation. Mixing the two types of water -- seawater and river water containing different salt concentrations -- releases a substantial amount of Gibbs free energy, which can be converted to electricity using semipermeable membranes. However, the performance of membranes has limited the economic viability of membrane-based approaches, leaving the vast potential of this naturally abundant energy source largely untapped.
To overcome the challenges associated with the membranes, researchers have developed membrane-free ...

Roughly six million Black people moved away from the American South during the Great Migration between 1910 and 1970, hoping to escape racial violence and discrimination while pursuing economic and educational opportunities. Now, research has uncovered a link between this historic event with present-day inequalities and implicit biases.
In a new Social Psychological and Personality Science article, researchers report that current implicit bias among White people at the county-level is associated with the proportion of Black residents living in that county during the Great Migration (circa 1930). The research supports the Bias ...

Floods and landslides in Sri Lanka could be better predicted by applying weather forecasting techniques currently used in India, a study has found.
The new research has the potential to help communities better prepare for extreme rainfall in Sri Lanka. The South Asian island is extremely vulnerable to floods and landslides caused by heavy rainfall. In May 2017, more than 150 people were killed after Sri Lanka experienced flooding triggered by monsoon rains.
Led by Dr Akshay Deoras and published today (Thursday, 27 July) in Geophysical Research Letters, the study expands the ...

A new study published in the Journal of Urology Open Plus reveals that 7 saw palmetto products met the identity and potency standards to effectively address urinary tract symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate. According to the lead author of the study, Dr. Bilal Chughtai, who is a board-certified urologist, of the 28 supplements included in the study, only six of the lipid extracts and one multi-active product were found to have the appropriate dosage of 320 milligrams of saw palmetto extract and the minimum 80% fatty acids clinically shown to address ...

A new trip-planning app has shown encouraging results in improving navigation inside subway stations, according to a study published in IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine, promising the possibility of easier commutes for people who are blind and low-vision.
Designed by researchers at NYU Tandon School of Engineering and NYU Grossman School of Medicine, Commute Booster routes public-transportation users through the “middle mile” – the part of a journey inside subway stations or other similar transit hubs – in addition to the “first” and “last” miles that bring travelers to and from those hubs.
“The ...

Boston - July 27, 2023 - Mangos are one of the most popular fruits1 in the world, grown in more than 100 countries2 globally and consumed by an extremely diverse population. Now, two new studies funded by the National Mango Board and presented as posters during the American Society for Nutrition’s Annual Conference (Nutrition 2023) show mangos may play a role in risk reductions for vascular issues while helping to improve antioxidant levels among relatively healthy adult men and women who are overweight ...

With its sensitive infrared cameras and high-resolution spectrometer, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is revealing new secrets of Jupiter's Galilean satellites, in particular Ganymede, the largest moon, and Io, the most volcanically active.
In two separate publications, astronomers who are part of JWST's Early Release Science program report the first detection of hydrogen peroxide on Ganymede and sulfurous fumes on Io, both the result of Jupiter's domineering influence.
