Using innovative recording technology, researchers show organoids respond to external sensory stimuli
Inspired by the human brain, an artificial neural network was trained to spot tiny mutations in genetic sequences better and faster than human eyes
Tapping an almost century-long survey, UC San Diego researchers say these microscopic organisms may offer way to monitor historical marine pollution trends; and perhaps be used to predict trends in childhood and adult chronic illnesses
International collaboration uncovers mosaicism, a condition in which cells within the same person have a different genetic makeup, as a cause for pediatric seizures
Hacking system converts split gene drives into full drives, offering new experimentation flexibility… but also reveals surprising fitness costs of full drive systems
The ultraviolet nail polish drying devices used to cure gel manicures may pose more of a public health concern than previously thought.
UC San Diego study may inspire new chemotherapeutic drugs targeting early stages of tumor formation and spread
Brain’s characteristic wrinkled surface is generally an indicator of higher cognitive function, but too much folding can produce the opposite effect
UC San Diego scientists found that persons exposed to the deadly Camp Fire in 2018 displayed altered cognitive function months later; it’s new evidence of a growing phenomenon known as “climate trauma”
UC San Diego researchers describe how pancreatic cancer stem cells leverage a protein in a family of proteins that normally suppress tumors to instead do the opposite, boosting their resistance to conventional treatments and spurring growth
Scripps Oceanography researchers describe Pyrolycus jaco, a newly identified species of eelpout living in a hydrothermal seep in the deep ocean
Tiny motor one day could drive innovations in materials science and medicine
Researchers advanced the age of human neurons beyond what was previously possible

New studies confirm mid-Cretaceous volcanism caused ocean acidification
As seasoned gardeners know, broccoli heads don’t develop properly and can resemble cauliflower when grown in higher temperatures.
Morgan Ruelle, M.S. ’10, Ph.D. ’15, was living in the remote mountains of Ethiopia in 2011, researching his dissertation on food diversity, when he kept hearing about a crop that confused him.
Using artificial intelligence, Cornell engineers have simplified and reinforced models that accurately calculate the fine particulate matter (PM2.5)
A protein commonly found at high levels in lung cancer cells controls a major immunosuppressive pathway that allows lung tumors to evade immune attack, according to a study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine.
