Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital identified a link between glutamine metabolism and red blood cell maturation, showing how disruption of the process can drive disease.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) is honored to participate in 2024 CCHIO. NCCN has taken numerous strides in recent years to increase the global accessibility and relevance of NCCN Guidelines as a tool for helping people with cancer to live better lives, including multiple collaborations with leading oncology groups in China.
New research shows that Antarctic blue whales are likely a single population, rather than several isolated populations -- information that will help conservationists as the whales, the world's largest animal, try to recover from historic lows due to 20th century whaling.
Researchers from the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich have developed an advanced optical microscopy technique that enables the study of the brain’s vascular networks in unprecedented detail and on a large scale.
This study introduces a fibrous amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide material (IGZO) integrated into sensory face masks, providing real-time respiratory monitoring via a wireless flexible circuit. Enhanced surface area promotes gas diffusion, enabling precise detection of respiratory states. This innovation in wearable health monitoring highlights a promising direction for continuous physiological assessment.
The research team led by Dr. Hyung-Suk Oh and Dr. Woong Hee Lee at the Clean Energy Research Center at Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a silver-silica composite catalyst capable of reversible local pH control through a silica-hydroxide cycle, inspired by Earth’s natural cycles.
The trace anomaly is one of the quantities that encodes the energy and momentum of particles built from quarks. Scientists believe the trace anomaly is crucial for keeping quarks bonded in subatomic particles. In this study, scientists calculated the trace anomaly for nucleons and pions. The calculations show that in the pion, the mass distribution is similar to the charge distribution of the neutron and in the nucleon, the mass distribution is similar to the charge distribution of the proton.
MSU researchers now can identify more proteins, or biomarkers, in blood plasma, including those linked to specific diseases like cancer. By identifying these biomarkers earlier, medical researchers can create better diagnostic tests and drugs that target diseases sooner, improving patient outcomes.
New Jersey native Caterina Belle Azzarello-Nichols earned an M.A. from the University of Northern Colorado’s Educational Psychology program. Continuing in the program as a doctoral student, she’s conducting research in mathematics readability and student educational dispositions.
Results from a new animal study published in the American Journal of Physiology-Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology found that maternal exposure to e-cigarette residues, with or without nicotine, affected offspring’s immune response later in life.
