Texas Tech Health El Paso Wins $5 Million in Grants to Boost Cancer Prevention

Image
Texas Tech Health El Paso is making a powerful stride in the fight against cancer, earning nearly $5 million in grant funding from the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT). This major investment will directly support two of the university’s most impactful initiatives: SuCCCeS – Focused on colorectal cancer screening and early detection. BEST – Dedicated to breast cancer education, screening, and patient support. Both programs have been a lifeline for underserved communities across West and South Texas, where access to affordable healthcare can be a challenge. Early detection is key—five-year survival rates for many cancers increase dramatically when found in the earliest stages. Since launching in 2011, these outreach efforts have reached more than 55,500 uninsured or underinsured residents. The results speak volumes: 77 breast cancers and 39 colorectal cancers have been detected early, giving patients a far greater chance at recovery and long-term survival. This l...

Breaking Boundaries: Texas Tech Faculty Reveal 3D Nanostructure of Water Filtration Membranes

Image
  By WreckEmInsider Staff Freshwater scarcity is one of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century, and researchers at Texas Tech University are taking a bold step toward solving it. In a groundbreaking study, Texas Tech scientists have mapped the three-dimensional nanostructure of reverse osmosis water filtration membranes in their hydrated state — a world first. A World-First in Water Treatment Research This breakthrough was led by Assistant Professor Yuexiao Shen from Texas Tech’s Department of Civil, Environmental & Construction Engineering . His team used cryo-electron tomography — an advanced imaging technique typically reserved for biological samples — to visualize the membranes at the nanoscale while they were in the same wet conditions used in real-world filtration. Until now, scientists could only guess at the hydrated structure of these membranes, relying on dry-state imaging that failed to capture how they truly behave in action. Shen’s research chang...
