High Efficiency Particulate Arresting (HEPA) air filters were developed by the military in the 1940’s and became available for home use in the 1950’s.
Air purifiers using HEPA technology can help alleviate symptoms caused by dust, dander, bacteria, moulds and other airborne pollutants. HEPA filters only allow very tiny particles to pass through. Very little air is able to pass through a single sheet of HEPA paper because of the small size of the holes. In a HEPA filter, paper is...

Metabolic disorders, particularly obesity increases the risk of a number of cancers, e.g. colon, mammary, pancreas and liver. The primary functions of the liver are metabolism and detoxification. Nutrients from the gut are metabolised in the liver involving the insulin regulated PI3K/PTEN pathway. Wnt/β-catenin signalling also plays important role in regulating the metabolic and detoxicating functions of the liver as it regulates liver structure and zonation. Following a diet containing h...

A world-first Edith Cowan University (ECU) study has confirmed the link between the two, which could lead to earlier detection and new potential treatments. Alzheimer's disease (AD) destroys memory and thinking ability and is the most prevalent form of dementia.

ECU's Centre for Precision Health has now p...
