Five-year-olds exposed to paternal depression are more likely to have behavioral issues in grade school, Rutgers Health researchers find
One shoulder has four separate joints, packed with muscles, that allow movement of the arm in eight different major ways, giving the most degrees of freedom of any joint in the body. But the same complexity that allows such motion also presents opportunities for pain when something goes wrong.
Woodrats are basically desert superheroes, able to eat toxic plants and survive rattlesnake bites. But researchers from the University of Utah and University of Michigan have found their venom resistance drops when it’s cold.
Under Yellowstone lies a magma-filled formation that drives the national park’s famous geysers and other hydrothermal features. New research conducted by University of Utah geoscientists has located the top of the chamber 3.8 kilometers below Earth’s surface and characterized the upper reservoir’s structure, offering fresh insights into the risk of future eruptions.
The Acoustical Society of America and the International Commission on Acoustics are co-hosting a joint meeting May 18-23 in New Orleans, with in-person sessions throughout the week and livestreamed press conferences Tuesday, May 20. This conference brings together acoustics professionals to discuss the latest advancements from a variety of fields, including physics, medicine, music, psychology, wildlife biology, and engineering. Experts will present recent work on topics that include coral reef preservation, the sounds of pollinators and flowers, and identifying inert underwater explosives using acoustic scattering. Conference highlights can be found on social media by using the #ASA188 hashtag.
Childcare shortages across Michigan have made it difficult to fill around 9,000 vacancies for early childhood educators. This shortage has affected the state’s ability to provide care to children, a critical service that’s not only important for early childhood development and school readiness but necessary for a strong Michigan workforce and economy. Because these staff shortages impact children and families, Michigan State University’s Department of Human Development and Family Studies is working to counter the deficit by providing graduates skills and experience through its child development major
Luke McDermott had his eye on the prize. As a freshman at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, the first-generation student met with Courtney Santos, director of undergraduate research and fellowships, and declared he wanted to earn a Truman Scholarship.
People with medical debt in 2023 were about five times more likely to forgo mental health care treatment in the following year due to cost, compared to those without medical debt, according to a study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Researchers with The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC-James) have found that targeting an enzyme called PGM3 can help stop the growth of glioblastoma, the most dangerous type of brain tumor.
Researchers have developed an AI-driven machine learning model that can predict post-concussion injury risk in athletes with 95% accuracy, analyzing more than 100 variables. The machine's algorithm has potential beyond sports, including the ability to predict fall risk in patients with Parkinson’s disease.
A first-of-its-kind research expedition to Latham Island has unveiled one of Tanzania’s most ecologically significant marine ecosystems, with thriving seabird colonies, critically endangered sharks, and climate-resilient coral reefs.
A stress-response protein, CDKN1A, may serve as a biomarker or therapeutic target for MASLD, new research in The FASEB Journal shows. Its expression correlated with disease severity across patient datasets and animal models.
Breanna Hollie, LCSW, a care coordinator for TASC (Treatment Alternatives for Safe Communities, Inc.), closely follows the young people she refers for services through the Juvenile Justice Collaborative.
An international research collaboration led by Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists that examined microscopic blobs of protein found in human cells has discovered that some morph from an almost honey-like substance to a hard candy-like solid. These mysterious droplets, known as biomolecular condensates, solidify when they carry a high proportion of the protein alpha-synuclein, the scientists reported in Science Advances. Clumps of alpha-synuclein are commonly found in the brain cells of people with Parkinson’s disease, a neurodegenerative brain disorder.
The Cedars-Sinai Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute is marking its 15th anniversary by further expanding its commitment to research, development of cell-based human models and therapies, and education with three new leadership appointments and the creation of a master’s degree program.
At a time of increased gun ownership among women, a new study found just under 4 in 10 women who died by firearm suicide had no documented history of mental or physical health problems, highlighting a need for prevention strategies tailored to at-risk women.
The $4.9 million donation will create the Wyss Orthoplastic Global Education and Innovation Hub at Penn, creating opportunities for fellowships, education, and research
