Five Tufts faculty have been named as senior members of the National Academy of Inventors, an honor for academic inventors who are rising leaders in their respective fields and who have produced technologies that seek to bring a positive impact on society.
We performed 44 kidney transplants in 2024 (up from 26 in calendar year 2023), a record for Lurie Children's and the most kidney transplants of any pediatric transplant program in the Nation. In addition, we maintain exceptional volumes, with the strongest 1 year patient and graft survival in the nation for pediatric kidney transplant.
By studying veterans who went through suicide prevention appointments at VA hospitals and clinics, a new study highlights key risk factors including access to firearms.
Innovative CT Scan Technique Could Improve Prognosis and Treatments for Head and Neck Cancers, New Research Suggests
A University of Delaware-led experiment currently aboard a NASA rocket will help determine how moon dust particles stick to different spacesuit materials exposed to the moon鈥檚 environment.
A study published in JMIR-Aging evaluating the University of California San Diego鈥檚 鈥淪trong Foundations鈥� program 鈥� a digitally delivered fall prevention initiative for older adults 鈥� emphasized the program鈥檚 effectiveness in improving posture, balance and strength 鈥� key factors in reducing fall risk.
For children and teens living with migraine, there may be a new preventive treatment, according to a preliminary study released today, February 26, 2025, that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology鈥檚 77th Annual Meeting taking place April 5鈥�9, 2025, in San Diego and online. Researchers found the drug zonisamide, which has been used to treat seizures, may reduce migraine days in this age group. This study does not prove that zonisamide reduces migraine days; it only shows an association.
ALS, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, can sometimes be difficult to diagnose or to predict how quickly the disease is likely to progress. A new study helps determine which blood tests are best at identifying and monitoring ALS. The study is published in the February 26, 2025, online issue of Neurology庐, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Education experts at the University of South Australia are encouraging schools to consider problem-based learning (PBL) in a move to improve engagement and creativity among high school students. The call follows new Productivity Commission data that shows national school attendance rates over the past year have decreased from 88.8% in Year 7 to 84% in Year 10. Government schools are worst hit, with only 73% of public-school students completing year 12, as compared with nearly 80% in 2017.
The global incidence of asthma, a leading respiratory disorder affecting more than 235 million people, has dramatically increased in recent years. Characterized by chronic airway inflammation and an imbalanced response to airborne irritants
BACKGROUNDMesenchymal stem cells, found in various tissues, possess significant healing and immunomodulatory properties, influencing macrophage polarization, which is essential for wound repair. However, chronic wounds present significant t
BACKGROUNDPeriodontitis is an inflammatory disease caused by the host鈥檚 immune response and various interactions between pathogens, which lead to the loss of connective tissue and bone. In recent years, mesenchymal stem cell (SC) transpla
BACKGROUNDFracture is one of the most pervasive injuries in the musculoskeletal system, and there is a complex interaction between macrophages and adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in fracture healing. However, two-dimensional (2D)
Exosomes derived from hypoxic endometrial epithelial cells are pivotal in cellular communication and tissue repair, offering new perspectives on reproductive health. This manuscript highlights the study by Zhang et al, which investigates th
The potential of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) for modeling and treating metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and metabolic associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is emerging. MAFLD is a growing global health concern, curren
Peripheral nerve injuries are clinical conditions that often result in functional deficits, compromising patient quality of life. Given the relevance of these injuries, new treatment strategies are constantly being investigated. Although me
Skeletal muscle atrophy results from disruptions in the growth and metabolism of striated muscle, leading to a reduction or loss of muscle fibers. This condition not only significantly impacts patients鈥� quality of life but also imposes su
BACKGROUNDBurn wound management is challenging, and while mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes show therapeutic potential, optimal delivery methods are unclear. AIMTo study chitosan (CS)-伪尾-glycerophosphate (CS-伪尾-GP) hydrogel crossl
BACKGROUNDDespite advances in treatment, the prognosis for patients with high-risk pediatric solid tumors remains dismal. Tandem autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) offers promise for improving outcomes in these patients. This study
