Vitamin D supplements may lower blood pressure in older people with obesity and taking more than the Institutes of Medicine鈥檚 (IOM) recommended daily dose does not provide additional health benefits, according to new research published in the Journal of the Endocrine Society.
The standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming the popular hypothesis that invisible dark matter helped the earliest stars and galaxies clump together.
Today, the Bronx Zoo announced that Idina Menzel, Tony Award-winner, actress, philanthropist and multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter, will perform in the 98th Macy鈥檚 Thanksgiving Day Parade庐 on the zoo鈥檚 new 鈥淲ondrous World of Wildlife鈥� float.
Avails Medical, Inc., a pioneer in rapid antibiotic susceptibility diagnostic innovations, is pleased to announce the appointment of Dan Douglas as the new Vice President of Finance. Dan joins Avails with a wealth of experience as a dynamic finance leader, bringing extensive expertise in corporate finance, operational strategy, and analytics, honed in fast-paced startup environments.
A new poll looks at how grandparents are involved in their grandchildren's lives, and how this relates to mental health and lonelines.
Over the past year, Children鈥檚 Hospital Los Angeles has been one of the highest-volume centers in the nation for Elevidys gene therapy. So far, CHLA has treated 10 boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy with this gene transfer therapy鈥攁mong the most in the U.S.Leading these efforts at CHLA is Leigh Ramos-Platt, MD, Director of the Neuromuscular Disorders Center in the Neurological Institute at Children鈥檚 Hospital Los Angeles, which includes one of the largest programs in California for Duchenne.
Linguistics and computer science researchers at Tufts University have discovered some of the root causes of the inability of AI to engage in human-like conversation
An international research team has for the first time designed realistic photonic time crystals 鈥撯�� exotic materials that exponentially amplify light. The breakthrough opens up exciting possibilities across fields such as communication, imaging and sensing by laying the foundations for faster and more compact lasers, sensors and other optical devices.
Disrupted sleep cycles are a well known concern for human health and function, and now researchers have found similar impacts on insects. A new study has found that artificial light disrupts the circadian rhythms of honey bees and poses a threat to their essential role as pollinators.
A newstudy has introduced a novel method for enhancing somatic embryogenesis (SE) in conifer trees, using small molecules to overcome traditional barriers in asexual propagation. This technique is pivotal for advancing forest production and genetic enhancement by addressing challenges in SE initiation and sustaining embryogenic potential.
A recent study in Ficus hispida genomics has unlocked the genetic mechanisms driving this fig tree鈥檚 unique reproductive system. The fully sequenced genome, a first of its kind for Ficus, reveals critical insights into how sex is determined in these plants鈥攁 factor crucial to their survival and ecological role. This research is a milestone for advancing the understanding of dioecy in plants and could open new doors for plant breeding and ecosystem management.
The Bionics Research Center team, led by Dr. Byung Chul Lee at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), has developed a bio-ink inkjet print head using the piezoelectric material PMN-PZT.
A significant study has mapped the genetic complexity of Populus cathayana, an ecologically and economically valuable poplar species. By creating a detailed genome assembly and analyzing genetic variation across diverse wild populations, the research sheds light on the species' evolution and adaptation capabilities, particularly in high-altitude environments. This genetic insight is key for conservation strategies and developing resilient tree species for future forest sustainability.
University of South Australia PhD student Belinda Lees has explored how screenwriters could create more nuanced and complex child-free women protagonists in biopics, after uncovering the barrage of often negative portrayals in existing media.
A team of clinicians, scientists, and engineers at Mount Sinai trained a deep learning pose-recognition algorithm on video feeds of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to accurately track their movements and identify key neurologic metrics.
At a glance: A new study in mice explains how even a single faulty copy of the BRCA1 gene can fuel tumor growth. The findings suggest the dominant 鈥渢wo-hit鈥� hypothesis of cancer development may not tell the full story behind how cancer arises. Study identifies cellular changes that prime cancer-related genes for action and render cells vulnerable to tumor growth. The findings can inform new treatments that block the priming effect to prevent breast cancer formation.
The Cardiovascular Research Foundation庐 (CRF庐) proudly announces the appointment of Dr. Jeffrey Popma as Chief Scientific and Strategic Officer. A world-renowned leader in cardiovascular research, Dr. Popma will drive forward pivotal programs and initiatives that will shape CRF鈥檚 future and fuel innovation at the CRF庐 Clinical Trials Center (CTC). His leadership will be instrumental in the development of the recently launched Real-World Data and Outcomes Center, advancing CRF鈥檚 commitment to impactful research. Additionally, as Program Director for New York Valves and TCT庐 (Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics庐), CRF鈥檚 flagship scientific meeting, Dr. Popma will play a key role in guiding the organization鈥檚 transformative contributions to the field of cardiovascular medicine.
Alcohol use increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and remained elevated even after the pandemic ended, according to a large nationally representative Keck Medicine of USC study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
