Isotope production facilities depend on cooling for proper function of target systems during irradiation. Examining these systems is challenging due to high radiation levels during target irradiation that make real-world measurements impossible.
Wayne State University received a $5.2 million P30 environmental health sciences core center grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in support of the “Center for Urban Responses to Environmental Stressors” that is a collaborative hub focused on community-engaged research and environmental health equity in Detroit and throughout the region.
A new study published by an international multidisciplinary team of researchers including faculty at Binghamton University, State University of New York, documents the first case of Down syndrome in Neandertals and reveals that they were capable of providing altruistic care and support for a vulnerable member of their social group.
With a focus on reducing racial and gender disparities in health outcomes for stroke patients and creating adaptable, functional medical devices that can go from the lab to the surgical suite, the students are getting hands-on experience that is turning into inventions and job offers.
UC San Diego Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry Itay Budin teamed up with researchers from around the country to study the cell membranes of ctenophores (“comb jellies”) and found they had unique lipid structures that allow them to live under intense pressure. Their work appears in Science.
Researchers have described some of the best-preserved three-dimensional trilobite fossils ever discovered. The fossils, which are more than 500 million years old, were collected in the High Atlas of Morocco and are being referred to by scientists as “Pompeii” trilobites due to their remarkable preservation in ash.
The Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine (ADLM, formerly AACC) is pleased to announce that Representatives John Joyce, MD (R-Pa.), and Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) are the recipients of ADLM’s Outstanding Legislator Awards for the 118th Congress.
See how St. Jude researchers investigated Foxp3 function as a transcription cofactor in regulatory T cells in immune system activation and suppression.
Experts from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health are available for interviews to discuss the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Moyle v. United States.
Christian Hendershot, PhD, associate professor of psychiatry and director of the Clinical and Translational Addiction Research Program at the UNC School of Medicine, presented early findings from the first completed randomized controlled trial of semaglutide for reducing alcohol consumption in heavy drinkers.
An expert from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is available for interviews to discuss the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Harrington v. Purdue Pharma.
June is National Men’s Health Month: The report serves as a call to action for local and state organizations as well as the public, to seek important changes that can have far-reaching, positive impacts on the health of North Carolinians.
People living in lower-income neighborhoods and in areas without local food stores eat more snacks and sweets than those in higher-income areas and in neighborhoods with many food stores, a new study shows.
University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers have developed low-cost sensors that allow for real-time, continuous monitoring of nitrate in soil types that are common in Wisconsin. These printed electrochemical sensors could enable farmers to make better informed nutrient management decisions and reap economic benefits.
Researchers found that young children between the ages of 5 and 12 were more likely to experience a concussion from recreation and other non-sport activities, yet those injuries were not seen by specialists until days later compared with sports-related concussions in the same age group.
The study looked back at ultrasound data from 1,500 Black women who ended up undergoing hysterectomy at 10 health centers. The study found that having a thinner endometrium measured on transvaginal ultrasound did not mean that there was no cancer risk.
A team of investigators in Cedars-Sinai’s Department of Computational Biomedicine is spotlighting the importance of diversity in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education and artificial intelligence (AI) research.
In a rare opportunity to study carnivores before and after wolves were reintroduced to their ranges, researchers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison found that the effects of wolves on Isle Royale have been only temporary. And even in the least-visited national park, humans had a more significant impact on carnivores’ lives.
New York City, with a population of 8.5 million people, was one of the locations most heavily affected by the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in North America and Europe. A large body of research has shown that those individuals who are of lower average socioeconomic status were especially affected by the pandemic and experienced a much higher rate of viral infection.
The Jane Coffin Childs Fund for Medical Research (JCC) is a leader in biomedical research funding, having committed more than $150M together with its partners. For nearly eighty years, JCC has supported groundbreaking science by the most promising postdoctoral fellows in cancer and human disease research.
