A $1.6 million grant from the National Institutes of Health will fund advanced undergraduate scholarships and training to encourage University of Hartford students to pursue careers in biomedical research.
Investigators involved in a multicenter study co-led by Cedars-Sinai discovered a pathway by which immune cells prevent the lungs’ protective barrier from healing after viral infections like COVID-19. The findings, published in Nature, may lead to new therapeutic treatment options.
The American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) proudly announces Tatsuya Oishi, MD, as the 2024 Scientific Impact Award recipient for his contributions to the neuromuscular community.
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are first to quantify the effect of dark brown carbon on snow melt.

Traditionally, planet formation has been described as a “bottom-up” process, as dust grains gradually collect into bigger conglomerations over tens of millions of years: from microns, to centimeters, to meters, to kilometers.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors are a type of cancer treatment that helps the immune system attack cancer cells more effectively. One of the key proteins involved in this process is Lymphocyte Activation Gene-3 (LAG3), which suppresses the antitumor immune response.
WashU Medicine researchers have designed, in mice, an approach to minimizing the damage from a spinal cord injury through the use of engineered immune cells. Mice given the treatment had improved recovery from injuries, demonstrating potential for developing the therapy for people.
The new approach marks a major step forward in the design of AI tools to support clinical decisions in cancer diagnosis, therapy. The model uses features of a tumor’s microenvironment to forecast how a patient might respond to therapy and to help inform individualized treatments.
Physicists at the University at Albany hail the latest progress in the hunt for direct evidence of dark matter — believed to be a massive-but-so-far-invisible building block to the universe.
The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) announced today the seven studies to be highlighted in the 2024 ASTRO Annual Meeting press program. Researchers will discuss their findings in news briefings held September 30 and October 1 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. and via live webcast.
University Lab Partners (ULP) is proud to announce NovoThelium as the winner of the 2nd annual Golden Ticket Pitch Competition for aesthetic startups, sponsored by Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company.
Candle flames, cars, and airplanes emit harmful gases and particles, which are formed through highly complex processes involving extremely fast reactions and often transient flow conditions. To better understand these processes, scientists from the USA and Europe developed the fastest 2D planar imaging system.
Since the early 2000s, optical frequency combs have had a major impact on science and technology. Miniaturization onto photonic chips is important for their deployment outside laboratory settings. Towards this goal, Song et al., demonstrated octave-spanning soliton frequency combs on the thin-film lithium niobate photonic platform.
Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope were surprised to find a distant, red galaxy distorted into the shape of a question mark. A specific, rarely-seen type of natural gravitational lens is causing the galaxy to appear multiple times.
Menopause affects women all the way to their bones, and that is why building skeletal health is especially important during perimenopause and after menopause, says May Al-Araji, MBChB, a women’s health and family medicine expert at Mayo Clinic Healthcare in London.
George Berci, MD, led an improbable and monumental life. As a young man, he survived the Holocaust and went on to become an internationally renowned surgical pioneer who developed many of the minimally invasive tools and techniques that are used in operating rooms and procedure suites around the world today.
PhotonPharma, a pioneering biotech company focused on innovative cancer therapies, is pleased to announce its selection as a premier presenting company in the upcoming Rocky Mountain Life Sciences Investor and Partnering Conference sponsored by the Colorado BioScience Association.
