The Wistar Institute鈥檚 Hubert J.P. Schoemaker Education and Training Center was the recipient of a $100,000 eXperience grant from NIIMBL to support an immersive weeklong training program at the Institute.
Argonne has received up to $21 million from ARPA-H to use AI and supercomputing in two projects: one targeting hard-to-treat tumors, and another aiming to create vaccines for multiple viral threats, including cancer and pandemics.
Researchers at UC San Diego and their colleagues have developed an optical biosensor that detects the virus that causes mpox. The technology could make diagnosis much faster and cost-effective as the disease continues to spread worldwide.
A new editorial 鈥 published in Nature 鈥 suggests that frequent fluctuations in diet, commonly known as "yo-yo dieting," can significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The authors, from the University of Pennsylvania Schools of Nursing and Medicine, describe how cycling between high-fat and low-fat diets in mice led to a substantial acceleration of atherosclerosis, a condition characterized by the buildup of plaque in arteries.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have linked disease-related proteins and genes to identify specific cellular pathways responsible for Alzheimer鈥檚 genesis and progression. The proteins were gathered from cerebrospinal fluid and are a good proxy for activity in the brain. Several of them may be potential targets for therapies.
Danielle Speller is the 2024 winner of the Joseph A Johnson award for her research on neutrinoless double beta decay and dark matter research, and for mentoring the next generation of aspiring physicists. Jessica Esquivel receives an Honorable Mention her work at Fermilab and for fostering equity, education, and community through the #BlackInPhysics social movement and Oyanova Enterprises.
In patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-low breast cancer, the molecular classification of their case plays a pivotal role in the formulation of personalized treatment plans aimed at optimizing outcomes. Despite notable advancements in this field, significant challenges persist. Issues such as pre-analytical variability, interpretative ambiguity, and inconsistent threshold definitions hinder accurate diagnosis and subsequent treatment decisions. In this context, emerging liquid biopsy technologies present a promising solution.
Tufts University researcher dedicated to finding treatments for cancer by researching tumors that develop in Meibomian glands, the specialized oil-secreting glands of the eyelid.
In an unprecedented move, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plans representing Connecticut, New York and Missouri have unilaterally declared they will no longer pay for anesthesia care if the surgery or procedure goes beyond an arbitrary time limit, regardless of how long the surgical procedure takes. The American Society of Anesthesiologists calls on Anthem to reverse this proposal immediately.
Researchers at the UChicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center and Argonne National Laboratory are partnering to use AI approaches to discover new targets for cancer therapies
A new blood test developed at The Ohio State University College of Nursing 鈥 in collaboration with The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center 鈥 is the first of its kind to potentially predict the risk for preterm birth in early pregnancy, one of the leading causes of childhood death worldwide.
Syed Ayaz, a researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), has published a paper in Scientific Reports that builds on an earlier first-of-its-kind study that examined kinetic Alfv茅n waves (KAW) as a possible explanation for why the solar corona, the outermost layer of the sun鈥檚 atmosphere, is approximately 200 times hotter than the surface of the sun itself.
Irvine, Calif., Nov. 14, 2024 鈥 Researchers led by the University of California, Irvine are the first to reveal how two neural circuits located in the brain鈥檚 retrosplenial cortex are directly linked to spatial navigation and memory storage. This discovery could lead to more precise medical treatments for Alzheimer鈥檚 disease and other cognitive disorders by allowing them to target pathway-specific neural circuits.
In June of this year, Louisiana became the first state to require the Ten Commandments be displayed in every public school classroom. However, earlier this week, federal judge John W. deGravelles... ...
Computer-assisted cognitive-behavior therapy (CCBT) and mobile mental health applications warrant continued development and ongoing efforts to increase acceptance among patients and clinicians, according to a review published in the Journal of Psychiatric Practice庐, part of the Lippincott portfolio from Wolters Kluwer.
