Irvine, Calif., Dec. 8, 2022 — The National Academy of Inventors has named two University of California, Irvine researchers as fellows for 2022. Philip Felgner, a pioneer in the development of lifesaving mRNA vaccines, and Payam Heydari, a prolific creator of cutting-edge microelectronics technologies, were both recognized for inventions that have made tangible impact on quality of life, economic development and the welfare of society.
At the 183rd ASA Meeting, Kenton Hummel will describe how soundscape research in day cares can improve child and provider outcomes and experiences. He and his team collaborated with experts in engineering, sensing, early child care, and health to monitor three day care centers for 48-hour periods. High noise levels and long periods of loud fluctuating sound can negatively impact children and staff by increasing the effort it takes to communicate. In contrast, a low background noise level allows for meaningful speech, which is essential for language, brain, cognitive, and social/emotional development.
Pesquisadores da Mayo Clinic descobriram que pessoas com transtorno depressivo maior e histórico de tentativa de suicídio possuem biomarcadores distintos que estão correlacionados com a resposta à terapia antidepressiva. As novas descobertas, publicadas na revista Frontiers Pharmacology, são a chave para estratégias de tratamento individualizado e identificação precoce dos pacientes com alto risco de suicídio.

Researchers at the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center and School of Dentistry found that certain drugs can change the fundamental makeup of cancer stem cells in mouse models of mucoepidermoid carcinoma – a lethal form of salivary gland cancer that currently has no treatment options. These results appeared in Clinical Cancer Research.
As we watch the World Cup games, the physical intensity is obvious. Players need to have incredible strength, stamina, and speed. A soccer player, on average, runs 10 to 15 km per game, and of those, 3 km can be sprints.

Investigators at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Health System, Regenstrief Institute, and Indiana University School of Medicine have received an $11 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to evaluate an Einstein-developed test for assessing cognitive impairment and dementia.
New research suggests that former professional football players may face accelerated aging, despite past research showing they have life spans similar or longer than the general population In the new study, retired football players reported shorter health spans — defined as years free of disease – than men in the general population Two age-related diseases — arthritis and dementia — were found more commonly among former football players, compared with men of the same age in the general population Additionally, hypertension and diabetes were more common among younger former players, those ages 25 to 29, compared with same-age men from the general population. The results warrant further study to define the biochemical, cellular, and physiologic mechanisms behind premature aging in former football players
A landmark study by researchers at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and Stanford University reveals how a tiny cellular machine called TRiC directs the folding of tubulin, a human protein that is the building block of microtubules that serve as the cell’s scaffolding and transport system.
Wait, how many stars were at this party? It’s likely there were up to five – but only two appear now! A research team recently began digging into Webb’s highly detailed images of the Southern Ring Nebula to reconstruct the scene. It’s possible more than one star interacted with the dimmer of the two central stars, which appears red in this image, before it created this jaw-dropping planetary nebula.
Study is one of the first to associate long COVID symptoms with changes in gene expression during acute COVID-19

Scientists have measured the highest toughness ever recorded, of any material, while investigating a metallic alloy made of chromium, cobalt, and nickel. Not only is the metal exceptionally strong and ductile, its properties become enhanced as it gets colder. This runs counter to most other materials in existence.
Devastating megafires are becoming more common, in part, because the planet is warming. But a new study led by SMU suggests bringing “good fire” back to the U.S. and other wildfire fire-prone areas, as Native Americans once did, could potentially blunt the role of climate in triggering today’s wildfires.
