For the past decade, Jos茅 Ram铆rez-Garofalo, a doctoral candidate in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Natural Resources in the Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, has tramped through swamps and meadows in the tri-state metropolitan area looking for signs of environmental change, including signs of new species, insect and otherwise.
We鈥檙e faced with it every holiday season: delectable treats we 鈥渃an鈥檛 resist鈥� for one reason or another, thus we overindulge. And for those dealing with diabetes or high blood pressure, the holidays can be especially challenging. A Hackensack Meridian Health expert has some tips on how to enjoy and keep healthy.
Rutgers researchers at the Brain Health Institute (BHI) and Center for Advanced Human Brain Imaging Research (CAHBIR) have uncovered how different types of brain cells work together to form large-scale functional networks in the human brain 鈥� interconnected systems that support everything from sensory processing to complex decision-making 鈥� paving the way for new insights into brain health and disease.
Anyone watching Kelly Rowe set records as a sprinter at Mansfield Lake Ridge High School and then compete on a track scholarship at the University of Mississippi, would assume she was in peak health. They鈥檇 have no reason to suspect she had been on a battery of medications and gone to countless doctor appointments ever since she was 8. That鈥檚 when she was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis, a condition that attacks the liver and leads to long-term damage.
Transfer RNA (tRNA), a genetic molecule well known for its contribution to reading the instructions for building proteins, also plays a key role in regulating how long those instructions persist in cells, a new study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows. The findings, published in Science, expand the understanding of the timing involved in the degradation of messenger RNA (mRNA), a vital mechanism for controlling gene activity, and could eventually have the potential to lead to new treatments for obesity, cancer, and other health conditions.
Hongjun Lin from New York University will present results on the acoustic characteristics of a physical model of the Parasaurolophus鈥� crest as part of the virtual 187th ASA Meeting. Lin created a physical setup made of tubes to represent a mathematical model that will allow researchers to discover what was happening acoustically inside the crest.
Researchers have discovered a link between certain genes and the number of opioid tablets that patients took after receiving surgery for torn ACLs. The insights support further evaluation of personalized pain management plans, which could help reduce unnecessary opioid subscribing.
Adolescents who snore frequently were more likely to exhibit behavior problems such as inattention, rule-breaking, and aggression, but they do not have any decline in their cognitive abilities, according to a new study conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM).
Rutgers University-New Brunswick undergraduate students in Yanhong Jin鈥檚 elective class, 鈥淔ood, Nutrition, and Health,鈥� find themselves becoming researchers 鈥� some of whom may get their work published.聽
Today, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $31 million in funding for 42 projects to 36 institutions in 24 states to build research capacity, infrastructure, and expertise at academic institutions across the country. Through the Funding for Accelerated, Inclusive Research (FAIR) initiative, the Office of Science builds strong, long-lasting relationships between lead institutions and DOE National Laboratories, Office of Science scientific user facilities, or research-intensive academic institutions to perform basic research in a broad array of areas, including physics, chemistry, and materials science, that are supported by the Office of Science.
MSU expert: How AI can help people understand research and increase trust in science
In a session of the 187th ASA Meeting, Michael Stocker of Ocean Conservation Research will present work examining the circumstances surrounding the whale deaths off the coast of New Jersey in the winter of 2022-23, which prompted concern that survey work in the area somehow contributed to their deaths.
Bo偶ena Kostek from Gda艅sk University of Technology is exploring how speech-to-text programs can be better used in the medical field. By studying how clear speech affects STT accuracy, she hopes to improve its usefulness for health care professionals. A detailed audio dataset was created with Polish medical terms spoken by doctors and specialists in areas like cardiology and pulmonology. This dataset was analyzed using an Automatic Speech Recognition model for transcription, and several metrics were used to evaluate the quality of the speech recognition.
Georgios Skiniotis, PhD, to develop and lead new center focusing on advanced imaging techniques, including cryo-ET.
Marking a bold step in its transformation into a global research powerhouse, NYU Tandon School of Engineering welcomes Jeffrey Hubbell, a world-renowned chemical engineer and member of four National Academies, to spearhead an ambitious agenda integrating engineering, the sciences, and medicine, to advance healthcare innovation.
Smarter city planning: MSU researchers use brain activity to predict visits to urban areas
A research team at UVA Health is testing the ability of focused ultrasound to increase the immune response to immunotherapy in melanoma. UVA鈥檚 work with focused ultrasound already has led to life-changing new treatments for Parkinson鈥檚 disease and essential tremor and pushed the technology to the forefront of medical research.
