According to the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, the number of lung transplants performed in the United States has increased during the past decade from 1,925 in 2014 to 3,370 in 2024. Last year, Ohio State Wexner Medical Center performed 70 lung transplants and ranked 18th in the country.
Dr. Ho Seong Jang and colleagues at the Extreme Materials Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have developed an upconversion nanoparticle technology that introduces a core@multi-shell nanostructure, a multilayer structure in which multiple layers of shells surround a central core particle, and enables high color purity RGB light emission from a single nanoparticle by adjusting the infrared wavelength.
Members of the Stony Brook University Department of Physics and Astronomy were recently among the recipients of the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics in recognition of their experimental collaborations with CERN鈥檚 (鈥淐onseil Europ茅en pour la Recherche Nucl茅aire鈥� or 鈥淓uropean Organization for Nuclear Research鈥�) Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The Prize 鈥� popularly known as the 鈥淥scars庐 of Science鈥� 鈥� was created to celebrate the wonders of the scientific age by founding sponsors Sergey Brin, Priscilla Chan and Mark Zuckerberg, Julia and Yuri Milner, and Anne Wojcicki.
The American Academy of Neurology (AAN), the world鈥檚 largest association of neurologists and neuroscience professionals, has elected Natalia S. Rost, MD, MPH, FAAN, FAHA, as its 39th president. Rost is professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, and the C. Miller Fisher Endowed Chair in Stroke Research and former chief of the stroke division at Massachusetts General Hospital. Rost succeeds Carlayne E. Jackson, MD, FAAN, who completed her two-year term as president during the recent AAN Annual Meeting.
Using imagery can help people keep their memories vivid for longer, but for those with PTSD, a strong sense of imagery could be harmful.
A multi-institutional study led by Moffitt Cancer Center found that percutaneous hepatic perfusion using a melphalan hepatic delivery system may help patients with a rare eye cancer that has spread to their liver. This disease, known as metastatic uveal melanoma, is traditionally very hard to treat and usually has poor outcomes.
Changes in brain connectivity before and after puberty may explain why some children with a rare genetic disorder have higher risk of developing autism or schizophrenia, according to a UCLA Health study.
An initiative between Cargo marine vessel (MV) Oleander, WHOI and ASU BIOS is contributing to ocean observations and data collection, and offering peer-reviewed data. Since the 1970s, scientific equipment has been mounted on three different container ships operating consecutively on the 鈥淥leander Line,鈥� which runs between New Jersey and Bermuda, resulting in decades of scientific data. The newest MV Oleander came into service in 2019, and is now providing regular water column, sea surface, and atmospheric measurements. The project is a part of WHOI鈥檚 Science RoCs (Research on Commercial Ships) initiative, which aims to equip many more commercial vessels with sensors to measure physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the ocean along the world鈥檚 major shipping routes.
Scientists have transformed RNA, a biological molecule present in all living cells, into a biosensor that can detect tiny chemicals relevant to human health. Research by Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists centers on RNA, a nucleic acid that plays a crucial role in most cellular processes. Their work is expected to have applications in the surveillance of environmental chemicals and, ultimately, the diagnosis of critical diseases including neurological and cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
Scientists at St. Jude Children鈥檚 Research Hospital explored selectively blocking the CYP3A4 protein responsible for breaking down large swaths of approved drugs, providing a way to improve drug efficacy.
Robert Barrack, MD, the Charles F. and Joanne Knight Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at WashU Medicine, led a long-term study that showed that patients who received a Birmingham hip resurfacing procedure maintained a higher level of athletic activity years after their surgery than those who received a total hip replacement. Barrack was the first surgeon to perform the procedure in the United States.
One shoulder has four separate joints, packed with muscles, that allow movement of the arm in eight different major ways, giving the most degrees of freedom of any joint in the body. But the same complexity that allows such motion also presents opportunities for pain when something goes wrong. A Tufts University School of Medicine expert served as the lead author on two new papers about efforts to help coalesce this information and make it easier for everyone to understand what this unique joint requires to stay healthy.
MSU research: School-based asthma therapy improves student health, lowers medical costs
In a recently published 鈥渕anifesto,鈥� professors at Binghamton University, State University of New York call for the elimination of payments in peer-reviewed scientific journals, which put up barriers for anyone who can鈥檛 afford those fees, especially researchers in developing countries or without funding support.
