Cardiac stress marker changes may better predict heart disease in older adults
A blood test that captures subtle changes in cardiac strain may offer a sharper way to identify older adults at risk of cardiovascular disease and...
Pesticide exposure disrupts ants’ behavior and navigation
A sudden surge in ant activity after pesticide bait is placed in a home or garden may not mean the treatment has failed. New research...
New framework organizes complex knowledge, evidence, and records across data lakehouses
Traumatic brain injury is no longer being treated as a single event with a single biological signature. A proposed data architecture described by researchers from...
Level III Neonatal ICUs Vary in Patients, Services, and Outcomes
A new study is challenging the idea that all Level III neonatal intensive care units are interchangeable. Although hospitals grouped under the Level III designation...
Explainable Biomedical Foundation Model Learns Concepts Through Large-Scale Vision-Language Pretraining
Medical artificial intelligence has reached a point where being right is no longer enough. In hospitals, clinicians must also understand why an algorithm produced a...
Machine Learning Reveals Artistic Fingerprints in Jazz
Jazz has long been treated as an art of the moment: a conversation between musicians, a negotiation with rhythm, and a form of expression in...
MetaboAnalyst 6.0 Advances Exposomics from LC–MS2 Processing to Causal Dose–Response Modeling
Environmental exposures rarely arrive one at a time. People encounter complex mixtures of pesticides, industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, plastics, combustion products and other contaminants through air,...
Study compares cold-stored and room-temperature platelets during cardiac surgery
A new study published in JAMA reports that cold-stored platelets may be just as effective as conventional room-temperature platelets for controlling active bleeding during cardiac...
Ocean research offers opportunities for healthier, more sustainable futures
Brazil could improve public health and reduce pressure on marine ecosystems by encouraging greater seafood consumption, expanding nutritionally diverse aquaculture, and managing fisheries according to...
Researchers improve triple-junction solar cells through defect passivation and optical management
Perovskite/perovskite/silicon triple-junction solar cells have taken another significant step toward the efficiency levels needed to transform next-generation photovoltaics. In a study published in Nature, researchers...
Arabidopsis Reveals Imbalance Between Chloroplast Proton Motive Force and ATP Levels
Plants are often portrayed as nature’s quiet solar panels, converting sunlight into chemical energy with remarkable efficiency. Yet inside every green leaf, the machinery responsible...
Systematic Review Examines How Antidepressants Influence Breastfeeding Behaviors
A new systematic review is putting a closely watched question in the spotlight: whether taking antidepressants during pregnancy or after childbirth is associated with changes...
