Discovering that hepatitis E virus is associated with sperm in pigs suggests the virus may be both sexually transmitted and linked to male infertility, according to a new study.
While many serious cases of COVID-19 are marked by respiratory distress and dangerously low blood oxygen levels — a condition referred to as hypoxia — the occurrence of “silent or happy hypoxia” affecting a subset of patients has puzzled experts since the pandemic's onset.
The Institute for Data Science in Oncology (IDSO) at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center today announced the establishment of its internal advisory council to identify needs and opportunities for data science development and integration across MD Anderson, advancing work that will yield significant benefits for patients and families.
The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) published today an updated clinical guideline that details best practices for using radiation therapy to treat patients who have oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
Chunyu Wang, M.D., Ph.D., professor of biological sciences and chemistry and chemical biology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, has been awarded a five-year grant of more than $3.7 million by the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Aging to study Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) isoform interactions with heparan sulfate (HS) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
Unlocking the secrets of Earth's planetary boundary layer (PBL), a pivotal zone influencing air quality and climate, a new study offers unprecedented insights into atmospheric thermal contrasts (TC). By scrutinizing satellite data, researchers have shed light on how the surface-to-atmosphere temperature gradient affects the detection of atmospheric pollutants.
The researchers propose a new method for achieving subwavelength resolution imaging for phase and amplitude objects. Their technique relies on diffractive encoding and decoding with a solid-immersion layer to recover high-frequency information corresponding to the subwavelength features of an object.
Fred Hutch Cancer Center announced eight recipients of the national Dr. Eddie Méndez Scholar Award, which recognizes which recognizes outstanding early-career scientists from underrepresented backgrounds who are studying cancer, infectious diseases and basic sciences.
