PFAS encompass thousands of man-made chemicals found in everyday items such as nonstick cookware, firefighting foams, grease-resistant food wrappers and water-resistant clothing. The chemicals can stay in the bloodstream years after intervention has occurred, the study found. However, for those in the low-exposure group, men had a higher chance of retaining the PFAS in their blood long term.

Michael Dease, professor of jazz trombone in the Michigan State University College of Music, has been named a Guggenheim Fellow in the 100th anniversary class of the prestigious fellowship.

Fish producers have sought Kebus and Loch’s help in combatting one of the top diseases affecting salmon and trout—bacterial cold-water disease. Loch and his lab team have been working to develop a vaccine to combat this disease.

Researchers from Michigan State University's Brudvig Restoration Ecology lab are working to solve a longstanding question in community ecology: How do regional and local factors jointly determine biodiversity?

Michigan State University is leading the effort to create a computer program that produces a holistic biological profile of human remains and makes the investigative process clearer and more efficient. The project called MOSAIC is funded through a $2.1 million grant from the National Institute of Justice.

A new study involving researchers from Michigan State University has revealed concerning findings on the long-term impact of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substance, or PFAS, exposure in communities affected by industrial contamination in drinking water sourced near an abandoned paper mill landfill.

Cancer research in the U.S. is backed by a complex system of interdependent funding. Partners rely heavily on each other and, when one struggles, the entire system suffers. Here, Jeffrey MacKeigan explains how cancer research funding works and what happens if there are cuts to those budgets.

Pressure sores, also known as bedsores, form when individuals remain in the same position for extended periods without movement. Tamara Bush, professor of mechanical engineering and associate dean for inclusion and diversity at Michigan State University, and Justin Scott, biomechanics research associate, have developed a breakthrough solution to help address this widespread issue.

Michigan State University researcher Jean Kerver leads one of the largest National Institutes of Health-funded studies of environmental influences on child health outcomes. She works with families in Michigan to understand a broad range of environmental factors, including air pollution, chemical exposure, inadequate nutrition and others, that may adversely affect pregnancy and child health.

For decades, scientists believed Vesta, one of the largest objects in our solar system’s asteroid belt, wasn’t just an asteroid. They concluded that Vesta has a crust, mantle and core – fundamental properties of a planet. Michigan State University has contributed to research that flips this notion on its head.
