As the Department of Energy (DOE) continues to accelerate a clean-energy future that includes fusion technology, a total of $49 million in funding for 19 projects was announced today in the Foundational Fusion Materials, Nuclear Science, and Technology programs.
A simple scoring system from Rutgers Health experts and others predicts outcomes of minimally invasive procedures, potentially expanding treatment options.
A massive black hole has torn apart one star and is now using that stellar wreckage to pummel another star or smaller black hole that used to be in the clear. This discovery, made with NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, Hubble Space Telescope, NICER (Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer), Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, and other telescopes, helps astronomers link two mysteries where there had previously only been hints of a connection.
Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have demonstrated that patients with metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring specific mutations in the STK11 and/or KEAP1 tumor suppressor genes were more likely to benefit from adding the immunotherapy tremelimumab to a combination of durvalumab plus chemotherapy to overcome treatment resistance typically seen in this patient population.
A UCLA-led study has created a map of DNA modification in two regions of the brain critical to learning, memory and emotional regulation. The map offers a benchmark for ensuring stem cell-based models accurately replicate human brain development.
Computational protein design and protein structure prediction have earned three scientists the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. David Baker, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Investigator at the University of Washington School of Medicine, and Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper of Google DeepMind were announced as this year’s recipients by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences today.
Three researchers from Washington University in St. Louis have received highly competitive and prestigious NIH Director’s awards, totaling $10 million in “High Risk, High Reward” medical research funding to be used over the next five years.
A policy aiming to save Medicare money has not had the intended effect on outpatient surgery. As the policy expands across the country, researching the results of this policy could inform how adjustments are made moving forward.The Medicare policy change added something that’s common in private insurance and Medicare Advantage, but rare in traditional fee-for-service Medicare: requiring doctors to get prior authorization from Medicare officials before scheduling certain outpatient procedures.
A multi-institutional program led by researchers at the Center for Data Driven Discovery in Biomedicine (D3B) at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has received up to $10 million Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (APRA-H) Mission Office Innovative Solutions Openings award to research, validate and implement a new model for sharing and integrating data at a national level.
Cornell College is proud to announce Tuition Zero, an initiative that creates tuition-free opportunities for Iowa students by building off the state’s need-based grant program–The Iowa Tuition Grant (ITG).
Plant scientists at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology have been awarded a four-year National Science Foundation (NSF) Enabling Discovery through GEnomics (EDGE) grant to advance their understanding of sphagnum moss, a crucial component of peatlands and a vital player in global ecosystems.
The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) congratulates the following 63 teams accepted to be a part of the 2024-25 Scholars Transforming Through Research (STR) Program. The STR Program is a competitive application-based professional development opportunity for teams consisting of a campus representative and one to three undergraduate students.
George Washington University has selected Symplectic Elements from Digital Science’s flagship suite of products to manage its faculty information and annual reviews process cycle.
English learner students represent the fastest growing student group in the United States over the past two decades, with numbers of EL students in public schools soaring in “new destination” states across the South and Midwest.
New artificial intelligence models for plasma heating can do more than was previously thought possible, not only increasing the prediction speed 10 million times while preserving accuracy but also correctly predicting plasma heating in cases where the original numerical code failed.
Improving clinical outcomes in stroke patients by closing a gap between successful re-opening of a blocked vessel through endovascular surgery and a reduction of disability is the focus of a $2.5 million grant awarded to UTHealth Houston researchers.
Nearly 30 years ago, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles supported one of the first clinical trials for a pioneering stem cell gene therapy for children with a life-threatening form of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). Called ADA-SCID—a type of “bubble boy disease” caused by mutations in the adenosine deaminase (ADA) gene—this rare disorder leaves babies with virtually no immune system.
NCCN announces a renewed collaboration with LACOG to publish new NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Prostate Cancer: Brazil Edition. Additional Brazilian adaptations of NCCN Guidelines for other cancer types are planned for the future.
