New nanoparticle shape can greatly enhance signals from multiple separate biomarkers at once, accurately detecting head and neck cancers without biopsies to improve global health
The structure, dubbed the BOB, fits with some of the mysteries of COVID
Fossil-fueled electrical grid’s enormous water use is often overlooked
Medical treatments that use stem cells have the potential to benefit patients facing serious diseases and injuries, but patients are not always aware that most treatments they are offered are experimental and can carry high risks, according to a report from Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy.

Rice, Connecticut labs engineer Cas13 to simplify the identification of coronavirus
Rice University scientists imbue cells with ‘noncanonical’ pathway to make own drugs
As the immigrant population in the U.S. grows, so does the need for mental health care in the communities where they live — a problem spotlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Negotiating lower health insurance premiums could help Fortune 500 companies increase profits while maintaining high-quality coverage for their workers, according to a new research paper from Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy.

Inspired by jellyfish and octopuses, PhD candidate Juncal Arbelaiz investigates the theoretical underpinnings that will enable systems to more efficiently adapt to their environments.
Research shows that common chronic diseases and problems associated with oral health have a detrimental and long-term reciprocal effect on each other. To achieve the best possible treatment outcomes, the general and oral health of patients should be considered as a whole.
People accept human nurses overruling patient autonomy and deciding on forced medication, but this trust does not extend to nursing robots.
Researchers have identified a mechanism by which an oncogene commonly activated in cancer patients affects the growth rate of cells. In the future, the findings can help in developing new treatments that could prevent cancer genes from inducing tumor growth.
Supporting emotional connection between a premature baby and parent during the intensive care unit treatment effectively improves the baby’s brain development. The effects are clearly visible in the baby's brain network function and later neurocognitive development.
Changing the epigenetic marks on chromosomes leads to altered gene expression in offspring and in grandoffspring, demonstrating ‘transgenerational epigenetic inheritance’
