Researchers participating in the Cilento Initiative on Aging Outcomes or CIAO study will gather in Acciaroli (Pollica-Cilento) Salerno, Italy to review a decade of work and plan their next steps. Launched in 2016, the CIAO study seeks to identify key factors (biological, psychological and social) that promote healthy aging and extreme longevity.
A new study led by investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) could help detect interval breast cancers — those that develop between routine screenings — before they become more advanced and harder to treat.
As part of this role, Dr. Coffey will oversee Nationwide Children’s Center for Clinical Excellence. In addition to her role of CQO, Dr. Coffey will provide clinical care as a pediatric hospitalist, and will be a professor of pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
New climate initiative to turn student innovations into startup success
Much smaller than gas-giants and typically cooler than hot Jupiters, sub-Neptunes were extremely challenging to observe before the launch of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Though they appear to be the most common type of exoplanet in our galaxy, you won’t find them in our solar system.

Genezen and Optieum Biotechnologies Partner to Support cGMP Manufacturing of Groundbreaking CAR-T Therapy for Glioblastoma
Urban rats spread a deadly bacteria as they migrate within cities that can be the source of a potentially life-threatening disease in humans, according to a six-year study by Tufts University researchers and their collaborators that also discovered a novel technique for testing rat kidneys.
Researchers have identified a novel gene in a poplar tree subspecies that enhances photosynthesis and can boost the height of trees by about 30% in the field and as much as 200% in a greenhouse.
A recent study conducted across nine Iowa hospitals has shown promising results in reducing postoperative opioid prescriptions through the implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols, part of the "Billion Pill Pledge" program. The study, which analyzed data from patients undergoing orthopaedic and general surgeries, highlights the effectiveness of these protocols in minimizing opioid use while maintaining effective pain management.
The American Society of Anesthesiologists is pleased to announce its Washington, D.C., LEGCON 2025 starting today at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill.
Dr. Fiona McNeill, professor of physics and astronomy at McMaster University, who brings a surprising blend of science and history to the modern conversation on beauty, health, and toxic exposure.
In a national first for a medical school, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is providing all medical and graduate students, along with select faculty and staff members, access to OpenAI’s ChatGPT Edu private and secure platform. The move reflects Mount Sinai’s commitment to pursuing innovative approaches to education and research through collaborative learning and scholarly inquiry. The launch follows a formal agreement between Mount Sinai and OpenAI that safeguards personal health, student, and other sensitive information while delivering secure, accessible, and advanced artificial intelligence (AI) to the Icahn Mount Sinai scholarly community. Through this collaboration, the School enhances its educational toolkit to equip the next generation of physicians and scientists with a cutting-edge solution to succeed in the rapidly evolving health care and science ecosystem.
Professor Lise Korsten, an eminent scholar in Plant Pathology at the University of Pretoria (UP) and CoDirector of the Department of Science, Technology and Innovation (DSTI), National Research Foundation (NRF), Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Food Security, has been conferred a distinguished honorary doctorate by Belgium’s Ghent University, in recognition of her transformative contributions to resilience in food security and safety.
A recent study reveals how tea plants defend themselves against herbivores by activating specific genes. Researchers identified two leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinases (LRR-RLKs), CsLRR-RLK44 and CsLRR-RLK239, which play a pivotal role in triggering defense responses. These genes enhance resistance by activating signaling pathways involving jasmonates, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MPKs), and WRKY transcription factors. The findings not only deepen our understanding of plant-herbivore interactions but also offer potential strategies to improve crop resilience in woody plants, which have been understudied compared to grasses. This discovery could lead to sustainable pest control methods, reducing reliance on chemical pesticides.
