A research team at Indiana University Bloomington has uncovered new details about how a tiny virus builds its protective outer shell 鈥攁 crucial part of its ability to infect cells.
Together, the two organizations have created a unique alliance that blends the academic prowess of LJI with the drug development and commercialization expertise of Kyowa Kirin.
Despite decades of study, the process of star formation still holds many mysteries. Stars are the source of nearly all the universe鈥檚 chemical elements, including carbon and oxygen, so understanding why and how they form 鈥� or not 鈥� is a crucial initial step in understanding how the universe works and the origins of just about everything, including life on Earth. At the heart of our Milky Way galaxy is the star-forming region Sagittarius C, which despite a wealth of raw material does not make as many stars as astronomers would expect. Two new studies have used NASA鈥檚 James Webb Space Telescope to investigate star formation in this extreme environment that is relatively near the supermassive black hole at the core of the Milky Way, at 200 light-years distance.
CLEVELAND 鈥� The Cleveland Cavaliers and Cleveland Clinic have agreed on a 25-year extension of their partnership, lengthening the relationship to more than 55 years altogether.

At the start of the pandemic, Iona Woolmington was installing artwork at a contemporary art museum in downtown Chicago when she first began having trouble in the bathroom. Blood in her stool prompted the then 35-year-old to see a doctor, leading to a devastating diagnosis: stage 3 rectal cancer.
The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has launched the AI Small Molecule Drug Discovery Center, a bold endeavor that harnesses artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize drug development. The new Center will integrate AI with traditional drug discovery methods to identify and design new small-molecule therapeutics with unprecedented speed and precision. Unlike conventional drug discovery, which can take years and cost billions, AI-driven approaches enable researchers to rapidly navigate a vast chemical landscape, including natural products, to pinpoint promising drug candidates. By leveraging Mount Sinai鈥檚 world-leading expertise in machine learning, chemical biology, and biomedical data science, the Center aims to bring innovative treatments to patients faster鈥攑articularly for diseases with urgent unmet needs, including cancer, metabolic disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network聽(NCCN)鈥攁n alliance of leading cancer centers鈥攃elebrated 30 years of helping people with cancer to live better lives during the NCCN 2025 Annual Conference, March 28-30 in Orlando, Florida. The yearly event brings together leading minds and subject matter experts in front of a multidisciplinary audience to share the latest recommendations for cancer treatment and prevention.
Below are summaries of recent Fred Hutch Cancer Center research findings, patient stories and other news.
A new Neiman Health Policy Institute study found that 43.6% of office-based imaging studies were interpreted by the ordering provider, with 58.5% interpreted within the ordering provider鈥檚 practice. Self-interpretation rates varied by specialty and imaging modality.
Recent guidelines have restricted aspirin use for primary cardiovascular disease prevention, with the AHA/ACC restricting it to patients under 70 and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force further restricting it to those under 60, even though heart attack and stroke risks increase with age. Researchers argue they were overly influenced by the flawed ASPREE trial, which failed to provide reliable evidence of aspirin鈥檚 efficacy in the enrolled age groups, and that proper statistical principles must guide trial design, analysis, and interpretation to avoid misleading conclusions.
At Rutgers University-New Brunswick, Josh Kover finds himself adapting 鈥� much like how plants can adapt to their environment.聽 Kover鈥檚 evolution took a dramatic turn four years ago. Shiftless during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Maplewood, N.J., resident recognized a need in his community for a quiet and sustainable landscaping service while everyone was working from home.
