Colorectal cancer: towards a diagnostic test

With critical contributions from Czech cohorts, researchers edge closer to microbiome-based screening of colorectal cancer. An international research team coordinated by the University of Trento has demonstrated that the presence of specific microbes in the microbiome is an accurate indication of the disease. The study – conducted using a combination of machine learning and metagenomics and published in Nature Medicine – could make non-invasive screening methods more accurate in the future.

The goal of urban stress research is not only to understand its causes but also to change how we plan cities, says researcher Tadeáš Dvořák

Tadeáš Dvořák first studied psychology at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, where he examined the influence of the city and its factors on human thinking. He did not abandon the research topic but decided to expand it with a biological basis – he was interested in what exactly happens in the body during these processes. In the interview, he explains what urban stress research entails, how it can be objectively measured, and why such research is important for our health.

Rising temperatures will have a significant impact on the workload of emergency medical services

High temperatures are a significant risk factor for human health. In 2022 and 2023 alone, they were responsible for more than 109,000 deaths in Europe, and this number is expected to rise significantly in the coming years. The trend of rising temperatures will also have a significant impact on the workload of emergency medical services, according to a study involving researchers from RECETOX centre.

Study Highlights Environmental Risks of Cruise Ship Wastewater Discharges in Polar Waters

As the polar regions are becoming more accessible and polar tourism rises, so does cruise ship traffic—and with it, wastewater discharges into some of Earth’s most fragile ecosystems. A new study conducted by RECETOX center in collaboration with the Norwegian Institute of Water Research analyzed treated wastewater from three expedition cruise ships and found over 160 chemical compounds.
