When we move, our knees actually...roll. This conclusion is a result of an innovative friction model presented by scientists from the Bydgoszcz University of Science and Technology.

Toxic anticancer drugs present in waters can be removed from the environment with the help of white rot fungi, Dr. Marcelina Jureczko from the Centre for Biotechnology of the Silesian University of Technology has shown.

Scientists at the Opole University of Technology will conduct research on hybrid drilling in metal alloys used in aviation and for the production of medical implants.

Scientists from Poland and Italy have developed a digital model that explains the possible mechanisms of an epileptic seizure. Simulations have confirmed that a seizure can start with discharges of inhibition neurons in the brain and changes in ion concentrations in the environment around the neurons, representatives of the Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw report.

Vegetable dairy substitutes can be produced based on cheap and easily available by-products of oil pressing called oil cakes. Scientists from Szczecin have developed a method of using them, thanks to which, for example, vegan plant-based yoghurts, kefirs and milks may have a higher nutritional and health-promoting value.

The food industry generates vast amounts of waste and by-products, most of them unused. Some may be useful because of their nutritional value and health-promoting properties. One example is oilcake, a by-product of oilseed oil pressing. It can be a raw material for various food industries.

Scientists from the Medical University of Gdańsk obtained a patent for a material that enables a more effective treatment of bone infections. The hybrid material destroys bacteria and supports tissue regeneration.

A team of scientists from the Silesian University of Technology has developed a technology for obtaining bioactive coatings on the surface of bone implants for animals. The technology has been licensed to a Polish implant manufacturer and the product is already working well in the treatment of animals.

The combination of whole body cryotherapy with static stretching exercises reduces fatigue and improves functioning of the autonomic nervous system and significantly improves the quality of life of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome
