WCS welcomes this scientific opinion by the Group of Chief Scientific Advisors (GCSA), which provides recommendations to support the successful implementation of European Union (EU) policies deriving from a One Health approach.
What began as a study exploring the intersections of race and gender in chronic homelessness soon revealed a more poignant theme: the profound impact of caretaking for loved ones.
Adapted from Smith鈥檚 existing 14-credit graduate certificate program, the self-paced new course is designed to prepare participants to 鈥渢hink like a chief technology officer, chief innovation officer or government technology program executive in any size organization.鈥
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai will offer a joint Ph.D. program in health sciences engineering beginning in the fall semester of 2025. RPI is a world-renowned technological research university known for its engineering, technology, and science programs.
In work published in Nature, researchers鈥 structural insights help reveal a weak spot in malaria鈥檚 plan of attack which could help guide vaccine design.
According to a new study from researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto, being born preterm is associated with an increased risk of death from birth until the third and fourth decades of life.
A new study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center finds that, in healthy women, some breast cells that otherwise appear normal may contain chromosome abnormalities typically associated with invasive breast cancer. The findings question conventional thinking on the genetic origins of breast cancer, which could influence early cancer detection methods.
The study, published today in Nature, discovered that at least 3% of normal cells from breast tissue in 49 healthy women contain a gain or loss of chromosomes, a condition known as aneuploidy, and that they expand and accumulate with age. This poses questions for our understanding of 鈥渘ormal鈥 tissues, according to principal investigator Nicholas Navin, Ph.D., chair of Systems Biology.
Researchers at WashU Medicine shrink gastrointestinal tumors in mice using a yeast probiotic to deliver immunotherapy to the gut, offering a potentially novel strategy to target hard-to-reach gut cancers.
The pipe organ stands as a bastion in concert halls and church sanctuaries, and even when not in use, it affects the acoustical environment around it. Researchers performed a sine-sweep through loudspeakers facing the organ pipes and measured the response with a microphone at different positions. They verified experimentally that sympathetic resonance does occur in organ pipes during musical performances and speeches, and that the overall amplitude increases when the signal matches the resonance of one or more pipes.
Four summer undergrad fellows conducting research at the U.S. Department of Energy鈥檚 Argonne National Laboratory talk about their work developing quantum technologies and how they鈥檙e excited to be a part of a burgeoning field.
Research by Lixian Guo at the University of Canterbury may make it possible to keep electronic devices powered with another piece of equipment you鈥檙e likely to bring with you while exploring the great outdoors: camping stoves. Guo鈥檚 work focuses on using the excess heat produced by stoves to create a thermoacoustic engine, which converts thermal energy into acoustic energy.
Newly updated stroke prevention guidelines from the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association say women with endometriosis and women with early-onset menopause are at greater risk.
Chemists have developed a novel way to capture and convert carbon dioxide into methane, suggesting that future gas emissions could be converted into an alternative fuel using electricity from renewable sources.
University Hospitals Brain Health & Memory Center is now treating patients with KISUNLA鈩 (donanemab), a Food and Drug Administration-approved medication for the treatment of Alzheimer鈥檚 disease. UH is the only health system in Northeast Ohio currently offering these infusion treatments.
GNOMX Corp. has been awarded a $749,700 contract by the Division of Research, Innovation, and Ventures (DRIVe) within the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The contract will support the development of an immune dysregulation host-based assay on a CLIA lab-compatible PCR instrument to predict risk of post-discharge deterioration and hospitalization readmission of sepsis patients.
