New estimates of youth voter turnout in the 2022 midterm elections highlight major variations and inequities in young people’s electoral participation across the country. Youth turnout ranged from as high as 37% in some states to as low as 13% in others.
Researchers have developed a method to produce fat tissue grown from cells at large scale. The cultured fat will help add flavor and texture to cultured meat that more closely replicates the look, feel and taste of meat derived from farm animals.
Given the recent news regarding tickborne illnesses, Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine recently posed a question about a mild winter and if that would result in an increase of ticks in the spring. A pair of Cummings School experts shared their advice.
Amina J. Mohammed, deputy secretary-general of the United Nations and chair of the UN Sustainable Development Group, will deliver the commencement address to the Tufts University Class of 2023 on Sunday, May 21.
Researchers at Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University found that an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) was associated with the deaths of more than 330 New England harbor and gray seals along the North Atlantic coast in June and July 2022, and the outbreak was connected to a wave of avian influenza in birds in the region.
A new study by Tufts University researchers found a molecule that could be a target for treatment in patients who have become resistant to traditional anti-seizure drugs
Steve Tisch, Tufts Class of 1971, a film and television producer and co-owner of the New York Giants, has made a $10 million gift to create the Steve Tisch Family Endowed Scholarship for Arts, Sciences and Engineering undergraduates.
The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University has announced its 2022 class of SMFA at Tufts Traveling Fellows. The five artists will journey to places around the world to conduct research and find inspiration for their art.
New research from Tufts University School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences suggests that the timing of the death of certain inhibitory neurons in the brain shortly after birth may be at least partly to blame for infantile spasms syndrome (ISS), a rare but devastating form of epilepsy that develops most frequently between four and eight months of age but can emerge within weeks of birth until ages 4 or 5.
Five Tufts faculty have been named as senior members of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI), a prestigious recognition awarded to academic inventors who are rising leaders in their respective fields and who have produced technologies that have brought or aspire to bring a positive impact on society.
Professor and Dean of Graduate Education Karen Panetta of the Tufts University School of Engineering was recently elected to the National Academy of Engineering for her trailblazing efforts in supporting women in STEM and her outstanding research contributions in the field of electrical and computer engineering. Election to the academy is one of the foremost professional distinctions in engineering.
A study in mice, led by Tufts University School of Medicine scientists, found chronic stress reduced an animal’s abilities to produce and respond to neurosteroids, specifically allopregnanolone.
A Tufts-led research team has found a marker that indicates vulnerability to the disorder. They discovered that heightened activation in one particular brain region in response to seeing surprised and neutral facial expressions appears to be tied to developing PTSD.
Two Tufts faculty members have been named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest scientific society. They join 504 other scientists, engineers, and innovators from 24 scientific disciplines who are being recognized for their scientific achievements. This year’s fellows from Tufts are Mitch McVey, professor of biology in the School of Arts and Sciences, and Pamela Yelick, AG89, professor and director of the Division of Craniofacial and Molecular Genetics in the Department of Orthodontics in the School of Dental Medicine.
A new study led by Helen B. Marrow, an associate professor of sociology at Tufts University, found that Mexican immigrants with darker skin tones perceived greater racial discrimination and more frequent discrimination specifically from U.S.-born whites than did Mexican immigrants with lighter skin tones. Those same people with darker skin tones also reported more negative responses to that discrimination, such as pulling inward and struggling internally. The research, published in Social Psychology Quarterly, also showed that darker skin tone is nearly as strong of a predictor of such increased inner struggle as lack of documentation status.
Tufts University researchers have found that dollar stores are now the fastest-growing food retailers in the contiguous United States—and have doubled their share in rural areas. Households with more purchases at dollar stores also tend to be lower-income and headed by people of color.
Researchers at Tufts University have created a biopolymer sensor that can be printed on or embedded in wide range of materials, including gloves, masks, and everyday clothing. The sensor lights up when exposed to specific pathogens, toxins, proteins, or chemicals.
Researchers at Tufts University have completed the first study examining levels of vitamin D in brain tissue, specifically in adults who suffered from varying rates of cognitive decline. They found that members of this group with higher levels of vitamin D in their brains had better cognitive function.
