Mary Daly, professor of sociology and social policyGreen Templeton College, Oxford, UKThe government’s slow drip approach does not reflect the urgent nature of the challenges facing adult social care, writes Mary DalyThe recent announcement by Wes Streeting, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, of a £500 million investment in a fair pay agreement for care workers is a landmark policy move. It is positive to see policy activity in adult social care, but fundamental structural problems remain.The announcement is a step forward in several ways.1 First, it signals recognition of the particular situation of care workers who…

And…

Chronic inflammation can be the sneaky culprit behind plenty of annoyances, from bloating to stiffness in your joints. Focusing your diet on anti-inflammatory ingredients, healthy fats and nutrient-dense foods can help ward off these symptoms, and these soup recipes are a great place to start..

A new study found that people taking a GLP-1 medication for weight loss may lower their risk for a type of vision loss called age-related macular degeneration (AMD).Adults without diabetes on a GLP-1 like Wegovy (semaglutide) or Saxenda (liraglutide) were much less likely to develop AMD than those on other types of weight loss drugs.[1]What Is AMD?AMD is the top cause of irreversible vision loss in older adults, affecting nearly 20 million people in the United States. As the name suggests, age is the biggest risk factor: About 2 percent of adults ages 40 to 44 have early AMD. That…

Microplastics are seemingly everywhere, including our food and kitchen gear. With so many culprits, I find it’s not worth it to try and strip plastic from your entire life—I would drive myself to a bad place if I did that. But I do strive to remove it from my routine when I can do so easily. Two of the main things I’ve ditched in the kitchen are plastic food storage containers and, more recently, plastic cutting boards. According to this 2024 study, 1 square millimeter of scratched plastic cutting board can release 3,000 microplastics, a staggering stat that spurred me…

Sponsored content brought to you by Upstream process intensification using perfusion cell culture has become a necessity for meeting today’s demand in monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) bioprocessing. By sustaining higher viable cell densities, extending culture duration, and enabling continuous product harvest, perfusion cell culture allows manufacturers to increase volumetric productivity while reducing cost of goods. The demand for scalable production technologies continues to rise as mAbs now account for roughly 60% of biopharmaceutical revenue, with most new approvals aimed at oncology and autoimmune diseases. Successful scale-up of perfusion cell culture to commercial manufacturing depends on developing a robust, well-characterized process at…
