Early life exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), found in smoke, has been linked to developmental problems. To study the impacts of these pollutants, PAH metabolism in infants and adults were compared.

PMedIC, the PNNL and OHSU joint research collaboration, contributes to student success and impact in biomedicine.

Recycling polyolefin materials is challenging. One waste management strategy is plastic upcycling. New work demonstrates a single-step upcycling route coupling cracking and alkylation, recycling carbon and keeping valuable resources active.

Scientists screen for nanobodies that recognize wild type and mutant functional proteins to develop a framework to disrupt protein interactions that can cause disease.

A PNNL innovation uses steam to recover heat from the high-temperature reactor effluent in the HTL process, substantially reducing the propensity for fouling and potentially reducing costs.

Silicone wristbands could be more convenient option for collecting exposure data.

Study highlights microbiome’s role in regulating xenobiotic metabolism.

Simulations reveal advantages of using new model vs. allometric scaling for risk assessment.

Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons found at Superfund Sites induces enzymes in dose- and time-dependent patterns in mice.

New study elucidates the complex relaxation kinetics of supercooled water using a pulsed laser heating technique at previously inaccessible temperatures.
