Cardiologist George Dangas, MD, PhD, is recognized for his lifetime achievements in caring for patients and cardiology education. He is the third interventional cardiologist from Mount Sinai to receive the Laennec Master Clinical award, which celebrates his exceptional insight in correlating cardiovascular disease with clinical findings.
Researchers are studying how microgravity affects colorectal tumor response to chemotherapy on the International Space Station. They aim to learn how to improve cancer patient care on Earth by applying knowledge gained in space to treat tumors more effectively at lower doses.
A $2M grant from the National Science Foundation will support professional development workshops and active learning initiatives for STEM educators at SUNY campuses. The project aims to address the challenges of traditional lecture-based learning and promote a more effective, student-centered approach to STEM instruction.
Researchers have developed a new approach called agentic robotics, which enables teams of AI agents to generate, test, and refine robot programs quickly and efficiently. This method addresses the challenges of collecting and processing large amounts of data and programming robots, allowing for faster and more adaptable robot development.
A study by Ohio State University researchers found that people view 'kind' and 'nice' as essentially interchangeable, but 'caring' is a higher threshold. Acts that are warm, planned, and not expected of the giver are consistently rated as more prosocial.
A phase 2b clinical trial led by Mass General Brigham researchers shows that MAR001 can significantly reduce triglyceride levels within 12 weeks for patients with high triglyceride levels. The therapy targets ANGPTL4, a protein that naturally inhibits lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme that breaks down triglycerides.
Researchers propose that childhood cancers may spread aggressively by 'shape-shifting' into different cellular states, rather than accumulating genetic mutations. This process may be reversible, and understanding these transitions could lead to new treatment opportunities and potentially predict when cancers are preparing to spread
A new study by ISGlobal estimates that very strong El Niño episodes are associated with 107,035 additional heat-related deaths and 112,681 fewer cold-related deaths per year compared to neutral conditions. This shift towards warmer temperatures during El Niño has significant implications for global health.
A new study by Stanford Medicine scientists found that linear acceleration, not rotational motion, is more predictive of concussion. The research analyzed data from motion-sensing mouthguards and found that peak linear acceleration is the single most predictive factor in whether an impact leads to concussion.
Scientists have developed a treatment that 'reawakens' heart muscle cells, promoting repair and improving heart function after a heart attack. The treatment, using mRNA therapy, temporarily activates proteins that help regenerate heart tissue, leading to a stronger heartbeat and increased blood pump efficiency.
Researchers found that tiny plagioclase crystals from Andean volcanoes have the same chemical signature, indicating the same eruptive process. This discovery could help predict future eruptions by analyzing the crystals' composition, which is linked to hot magma from deeper underground.
Scientists at Tampere University develop a new approach to composite fillers, designing each particle's 3D geometry before printing, enabling tailored stiffness and mechanical behavior. The new method could lead to breakthroughs in soft robotics, biomedical materials, and tissue engineering.
A new AI tool, PREVIA, analyzes patients' narratives about injuries to predict who will later develop PTSD, correctly identifying over 95% of at-risk patients. This tool could help clinicians catch the condition early, as it is designed to be a quick and efficient screening method.
Researchers will study icy lunar soil's cohesion, flow behavior, and mechanical properties under cryogenic conditions, providing insights for extracting water ice and other resources. The project's findings could help inform methods for handling and processing lunar regolith.
A new study reveals that participating in cancer clinical trials can cause financial burdens, with median reimbursement of $2,128. The study suggests that reimbursement programs can improve equitable access to and retention in trials, making cancer clinical trials more accessible.
A study by the University of Plymouth found that international regulations governing marine protected areas (MPAs) are often ambiguous, failing to provide clear rules for satellite-based enforcement. This limitation hinders the effective use of satellite monitoring to prevent illegal activities, such as industrial fishing, in MPAs. The...
PeroCycle has announced a partnership with Glass Futures Ltd to develop a scaling platform for its closed loop carbon recycling technology. The technology uses a perovskite catalyst to split CO2 into CO, reducing carbon emissions from foundational industries by up to 90%.
Researchers found that despite mass ritual sacrifices, everyday violence was extremely rare in ancient Lambayeque Valley communities. The study suggests that societies may respond to climate change in diverse ways, and that violence is not a predetermined outcome.
