UC San Diego geneticists have developed a gene drive-based solution to the widespread problem of insecticide resistance. In an effort to protect valuable crops, the researchers created an “e-Drive” that reverses insecticide resistance and then disappears from the insect population.
Through a partnership with a nearby university, the middle schoolers collected and analyzed environmental samples to find new antibiotic candidates. One unique sample, goose poop collected at a local park, had a bacterium that showed antibiotic activity and contained a novel compound that slowed the growth of human melanoma and ovarian cancer cells in lab tests.
A team of researchers from Bar-Ilan University, in collaboration with researchers from Leiden University (The Netherlands) and Complutense University of Madrid (Spain), has uncovered a previously unknown phenomenon that could revolutionize the way we design materials at the molecular level. By unlocking a transformation between two types of structural defects on the surface of liquid droplets, the research opens new possibilities for controlling molecular patterns with unprecedented precision. This discovery has broad applications across a range of technologies, including vaccine design, the creation of self-assembling structures, and the synthesis of complex nanoparticles.
The algorithms behind generative AI tools like DallE, when combined with physics-based data, can be used to develop better ways to model the Earth's climate. Computer scientists in Seattle and San Diego have now used this combination to create a model that is capable of predicting climate patterns over 100 years 25 times faster than the state of the art.
Research grant will support a focus on breeding resilient coral populations to significantly boost the number of climate-resilient corals introduced to Florida's Coral Reef tract each year.
A multi-institutional team including Jon Detterich, MD, Principal Investigator in the Heart Institute at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, found that cardiovascular MRI with late gadolinium enhancement can predict heart risk in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
The final weeks of the 118th Congress will focus on urgent tasks, including passing a government funding extension, disaster aid, and the annual defense policy bill. ...
ORNL's Peter Fuhr continues pushes boundaries of optical and sensor technology in applications ranging from fighting wildfires to operating the immense floodgates protecting Venice, Italy. Fuhr’s path is marked by an oddball creativity that can’t confine itself to challenges in a single field. No idea is too far out to try out. His many inventions and start-ups before joining ORNL proved his ability to bring bold ideas to life. His influence is likely to be lasting, as his imagination and infectious zeal have driven him to mentor generations of new engineers.
Pascack Valley Medical Group is pleased to announce Scott David Lippe, M.D. , board-certified gastroenterologist and internist, is joining the Pascack Valley Medical Center team. Dr. Lippe brings a wealth of expertise with over two decades of experience in private practice. He specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to the digestive tract, liver, and nutrition. With a focus on liver diseases and inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, he is committed to providing exceptional, patient-centered care.
When night falls and children are sleeping at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, little elves come to life to bring joy to patients when they need it the most.
Everyone is invited to participate in this exchange of science related to nutrition, innovative ingredients, products and processes in the food and beverage ecosystem.
Vanderbilt is hosting a NIDCD-funded annual symposium for promising otolaryngology residents, fellows and junior faculty interested in becoming successful investigators. During the two-day course, invited senior faculty from around the country will host lectures, small group sessions and panels on the elements to flourish as a clinician-scientist. This conference is designed to motivate participants and provide them with the tools needed to achieve success in basic, translational and clinical research.
The seventh Bloomberg American Health Summit organized by the Bloomberg American Health Initiative will bring together public health leaders, government officials, community organizations, researchers, and students to discuss evidence-based health policies that remain critical to advancing health in a politically divided country. The Summit will take place on December 3 in Washington, D.C.
In a groundbreaking study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, researchers have uncovered significant genetic connections between human language abilities and musical rhythm skills, providing new insights into the biological underpinnings of these fundamental human traits.
As part of the COVID-19 International Research Team, researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the University of Pittsburgh and Weill Cornell Medicine discovered a novel cause of cytokine storm — the extreme inflammatory response associated with increased risk of death in COVID-19 infection.
Samantha Paustian-Underdahl, a researcher and organizational expert in the Florida State University College of Business, led a comprehensive study that challenges long-held assumptions about gender and leadership effectiveness.The study, “Gender and Evaluations of Leadership Behaviors: A Meta-Analytic Review of 50 Years of Research,” published this fall in Leadership Quarterly, finds that women leaders consistently receive higher ratings than men across most effective leadership styles.
