Members of the media are invited to register at no cost to attend the 2025 AERA Annual Meeting, April 23-27, in Denver, for five days of cutting-edge research, ideas, and engagement.
Simpl Healthcare, an innovation leader in creating custom EHR workflows for all specialties, recognizes the immense pressure physicians face in managing patient documentation and administrative tasks.
A pioneering study has uncovered the sophisticated tactics root-knot nematodes use to manipulate the genetic machinery of tomato plants, creating galls essential for their survival. By analyzing changes in transcriptomes and spliceomes, researchers pinpointed key genes and alternative splicing events that nematodes exploit to suppress plant defenses and reprogram cell cycles. These groundbreaking findings offer new insights into the parasitic relationship between nematodes and host plants, paving the way for the development of resistant crops.
Vincent Lo Re, an internationally recognized pharmacoepidemiology researcher, has been named director of the Center for Pharmacoepidemiology and Treatment Science (PETS), a unit of the Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research (IFH).
University of Illinois researchers have developed a method to recycle platinum catalysts used in the production of valuable silicone materials. A team led by chemical and biomolecular engineering professor Xiao Su details a method to recover these catalysts using specially designed molecular attachments and advanced electrochemical separation technologies.
A technique called facial thread lifting has become increasingly popular as a minimally invasive alternative to surgical facelifting. A report in the March/April issue of The Journal of Craniofacial Surgery highlights anatomy-based techniques designed to reduce the risk of complications and side effects of facial thread lifting.
Fred Hutch Cancer Center announced 10 recipients of the annual Harold M. Weintraub Graduate Student Award, which recognizes the exceptional achievements of graduate studies in the biological sciences.
Updated consensus recommendations by the U.S. Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer (MSTFCRC) address optimizing bowel preparation quality for colonoscopy. Highlights include the use of low volume bowel preparation and the adjunctive use of simethicone.
A pivotal study has uncovered that iron orchestrates the activation of two damaging cell death pathways鈥攆erroptosis and necroptosis鈥攅arly in ischemic stroke recovery, exacerbating brain injury. This discovery sheds light on how iron disruption fuels neurological damage, positioning iron regulation as a promising therapeutic target to protect the brain during the critical reperfusion phase.
Du's research focuses on pioneering engineering solutions, developing single-cell assays and creating advanced in vitro disease models. These efforts span both basic research in cellular biomechanics and biophysics and applied biomedical applications, such as point-of-care diagnostic tools and monitoring systems for diseases such as sickle cell disease.
Everyday smartwatches are extremely accurate in detecting viral infection long before symptoms appear 鈥 now, research shows how they could help stop a pandemic before it even begins.
A recent study unveils how stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), a protein involved in calcium signaling, plays a pivotal role in the resistance of liver cancer to sorafenib, a key treatment for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
A new method for forest phenology detection, called the Change Point Estimation of Forest Photosynthetic Phenology based on the Maximum Perpendicular Distance (CBPD), has been developed to accurately extract the start and end of the growing season in forests. Using Solar-Induced Chlorophyll Fluorescence (SIF) data, this innovative approach provides a powerful tool for understanding how forests respond to climate change and offers crucial insights into forest ecosystem dynamics.
The surge in digital data presents both unprecedented opportunities and formidable challenges across industries. A recent scoping survey sheds light on the transformative role of machine learning (ML) in unlocking the potential of big data (BD) to reveal hidden patterns, streamline operations, and drive innovation.
A new study uncovers crucial insights into the gene interactions linked to Alzheimer鈥檚 disease (AD), revealing how amyloid-beta accumulation affects gene dynamics across different brain regions and age groups. Using spatial transcriptomics (ST), researchers show how specific genes like Ttr and Trem2 behave differently depending on disease progression and age. These findings offer a new lens for understanding AD at the molecular level, with the potential to inform targeted therapies and interventions aimed at slowing or halting the disease's progression.
Researchers at Nationwide Children鈥檚 Hospital have found that when it comes to concussion recovery, sleep matters. In a study published today in British Journal of Sports Medicine, researchers found that limiting daytime sleep and getting approximately seven hours of sleep each night in the first week after a concussion may speed up recovery.
A pioneering study offers unprecedented insights into the bone immune microenvironment of type 2 diabetic mice, uncovering a unique genetic profile that includes decreased osteoclast differentiation.
UC San Diego engineers have developed a new computational approach to accurately model and predict the properties of a class of magnetic molecules called chiral helimagnets. Their work could accelerate the discovery of new materials for spintronics technologies.
