New study reveals aging unfolds at different rates across individual cells
Aging may be far less synchronized than scientists have traditionally assumed. A new study published in Nature Communications reports that cells of the same chronological...
Study Finds Few Corporations Now Influence Healthcare for Children on Medicaid
The United States’ adolescent mental-health crisis is unfolding inside a health-insurance system that has changed dramatically over the past two decades. Medicaid covers roughly half...
Ferroelectric Reconfigurable Homojunctions Enable Energy-Efficient In-Sensor Computing
Conventional cameras and computer vision systems typically divide the work of seeing and interpreting an image between separate components. Photodetectors first convert light into electrical...
New framework quantifies uncertainty in distributed energy adoption across diverse grid structures
Distributed energy resources (DERs), including rooftop solar panels and other customer-owned technologies, are rapidly transforming the way electricity moves through the grid. A new forecasting...
Singapore researchers develop tool to accurately predict liver cancer recurrence
Singapore researchers have developed a machine-learning tool that predicts which patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are most likely to experience cancer recurrence after surgery. The...
Embedded heterojunction enables superior pH-universal hydrogen evolution catalysis
Green hydrogen has long been promoted as a key component of a low-carbon energy system, but its expansion has been constrained by a stubborn economic...
Lung immune cells may trigger autoimmune disease development, study suggests
Scientists at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have produced one of the most detailed maps yet of immune cells living inside human lungs,...
Evolutionary history may explain why COVID-19 affects some people more severely
Viruses do not encounter a blank biological landscape when they infect humans. They meet an immune system shaped by thousands of generations of exposure to...
Removing cholesterol also reduced forever chemicals and plastics, puzzling scientists
Apheresis, a blood-cleansing treatment developed primarily for patients with severe, treatment-resistant cholesterol disorders, may also remove certain persistent environmental pollutants, according to a small exploratory...
VCU Massey Cancer Center Awarded $2.7 Million NIH Grant
VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has received a $2.7 million Worta McCaskill-Stevens K12 award from the National Institutes of Health to train a new generation...
Green chemistry breakthrough converts lignin-derived quinones into valuable cyclohexanediol using pure water
Lignin, the complex polymer that gives wood its strength, has long been viewed as one of the most promising yet underused renewable resources for producing...
Study finds common microplastic exposure may raise fatty liver disease risk
Microplastics are no longer confined to distant oceans or polluted shorelines. They have been detected in drinking water, food, air and human tissues, raising urgent...
Marshall researcher helps shape first global GLP-1 guidance on women’s reproductive health
The world’s fastest-growing class of weight-loss medicines has reached a critical crossroads: millions of women of reproductive age are now using glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and...
Correction: Soft ammonium molybdate hydrogel drops harvest photoenergy
A correction published in Light: Science & Applications has brought renewed attention to an unusual approach to solar-energy research: harvesting photoenergy with soft hydrogel drops...
