The Asia-Pacific region is the largest consumer of personal luxury goods in the world. Asian consumers shop at home and overseas in cities like New York, Milan and Paris, contributing to the luxury industry’s remarkable growth. However, many Asian countries are deeply shaped by traditional values and religions, such as Confucianism and Buddhism, both of which advocate modest and even frugal living. This paradox intrigued Rajeev Batra, professor of marketing. Batra and colleagues investigated how these seemingly conflicting phenomena coexist. Their research revealed that collectivism in these Asian markets actually enhances luxury consumption.

Cleveland Clinic researchers have discovered a new bacterium that weakens the immune system in the gut, potentially contributing to certain inflammatory and infectious gut diseases. The team identified the bacterium, Tomasiella immunophila (T. immunophila), which plays a key role in breaking down a crucial immune component of the gut’s multi-faceted protective immune barrier. Identifying this bacterium is the first step to developing new treatments for a variety of inflammatory and infectious gut diseases.
Combining two techniques, analytical chemists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory became the first to detect fluorine and different isotopes of uranium in a single particle at the same time.
