With a rapidly aging global population, investing in longevity science can bridge the 10–year gap between lifespan and healthspan. A breakthrough could save trillions in healthcare costs, improving health outcomes and economic resilience for all, writes Dr. Mehmood Khan.
The new CAPS program will work to unite and support the entire physician-scientist pipeline at the University of Chicago, from undergraduate students to faculty.
Canadian scientists knit little wool caps to contain electrodes that cats normally shake off when being tested for chronic pain.
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered that the blowtorch-like jet blasting from a supermassive black hole at the core of galaxy M87 seems to cause stars to erupt along its trajectory. The stars, called novae, are not caught inside the jet, but are apparently in a dangerous neighborhood nearby. Hubble found twice as many novae going off near the jet as elsewhere in the giant galaxy during the surveyed time period.
In a bold step toward addressing the stark disparities in pediatric cancer care, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is taking the lead in launching IGNITE—the first national, pediatric hematology-oncology health equity research consortium. This groundbreaking initiative aims to eradicate inequities for children, adolescents, and young adults diagnosed with cancer or blood disorders via the rapid development and evaluation of policy-relevant, evidence-based and community informed health equity interventions.
The number of educational opportunities that children accrue at home, in early education and care, at school, in afterschool programs, and in their communities as they grow up are strongly linked to their educational attainment and earnings in early adulthood, according to new research.
In a major step toward sustainable chemistry, scientists have uncovered a new way to significantly boost the electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia through the in-situ evolution of electrocatalysts. This breakthrough provides a cleaner alternative to the traditional ammonia synthesis process and a solution to the critical issue of nitrate pollution in water systems.
Agriculture is the world’s largest industry. It employs more than one billion people and generates over $1.3 trillion dollars’ worth of food annually, but some farm practices have serious negative impacts on the environment, which is why sustainable agricultural practices have been championed.
Rabies is a virus that affects the central nervous system in mammals, leading to brain inflammation. Rabies is almost always fatal once there are symptoms, but it is also 100 percent preventable with proper precautions and vaccination. Understanding the risks and taking preventative measures is essential in protecting animals, families, and communities.
Pregnant women who do not get enough sleep may be at higher risk of having children with neurodevelopmental delays, according to new research published in the Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
