A new study has revealed how light regulates the growth and pigmentation of woodland strawberries. Researchers identified the FvePhyB gene, a red/far-red light photoreceptor, as a key player in controlling plant height and anthocyanin production. These findings could reshape strawberry farming by optimizing light conditions to improve crop quality and yield.
NIBIB-funded researchers are working to bring in vivo gene editing to the fore. Through rational engineering of lipid nanoparticles, this collaborative team developed a way to effectively target specific organs in the body to precisely deliver therapeutic cargo, including gene-editing molecules.
Beth Sutton, MD, FACS, a general surgeon who has spent much of her career balancing private practice with leadership roles at the American College of Surgeons (ACS), will become the 105th president of the ACS.
A new study gets scientists closer to more fully understanding where viruses fit into the global ocean picture of cycling nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous and, of particular interest, carbon.
Researchers at Institut Fresnel have developed an Extended Depth-of-Field Random Illumination Microscope (EDF-RIM) that integrates 3D speckle illumination for super-resolved imaging and extended depth detection for faster acquisition of thick samples. EDF-RIM captures entire 3D volumes in a single projection, reducing acquisition time and light exposure.
JMIR Publications invites submissions to a new theme issue titled “The Emergence of Medical Futures Studies” in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, the leading peer-reviewed journal for digital medicine and health and health care in the Internet age, indexed in PubMed, PMC, MEDLINE, SCIE, Scopus and DOAJ.

Researchers at NYU Tandon School of Engineering have developed HuBar, a visual analytics tool that summarizes and compares task performance sessions in augmented reality (AR) by analyzing performer behavior and cognitive workload.
Teal Health, a woman-led company on a mission to get all women and people with a cervix in the US screened for cervical cancer, has been awarded a $1.68 million Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Direct to Phase II Grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
In her new book, A Minimally Good Life: What We Owe to Others and What We Can Justifiably Demand, Binghamton University Professor of Philosophy Nicole Hassoun argues that respect for our common humanity requires helping others live minimally good lives when doing so does not require sacrificing our own ability to live well enough.
Mount Sinai Health System leaders will present on AI innovations and global collaboration at the upcoming HLTH Vegas conference from Sunday-Wednesday, October 20-23, in Las Vegas.
Key takeaways from Dr. Schwartzman’s presentation:Autistic people are frequently excluded from mental health research due to various factors.Including autistic individuals and scientists in the design of autism-focused research studies is crucial to effective research.Dr. Schwartzman’s lab is investigating tools to assess depression and suicide risk in autistic youth, testing autism-adapted cognitive behavioral therapy, and studying the needs of autistic youth and families following a suicide attempt.
CEDIA highlights how smart home technology can benefit those aging in place. These innovations enhance safety and convenience while also helping older adults maintain independence and stay connected with loved ones.
The Endocrine Society, a global organization that promotes endocrinology research and clinical practice, and Keystone Symposia, a nonprofit host of conferences and symposia on a range of life science and biomedical topics, will jointly host a series of three conferences to advance endocrine research.
New findings from AAO 2024 suggest that simply adhering to the FDA-regulated expiration dates could not only reduce medication and plastic waste, but also save millions of dollars annually, and potentially prevent nationwide eye drop shortages.
