Emphasizing individual rather than community health risks from COVID-19 appeared to create more vaccine acceptance among participants in a study led by Washington State University researcher Porismita Borah.
Amid the growing threat of sea-level rise and coastal erosion of oceanfront communities around the world, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers delved deeper into the response for coastal communities on Oʻahu.
A key number of hours of darkness during the lunar cycle triggers mature Hawaiian box jellyfish (Alatina alata) to swim to leeward shores on Oʻahu to spawn
An analysis of nearly two decades of data revealed Native Hawaiian study participants had more than twice the risk of developing gout as older adults, relative to White participants.
CELL DIVISION How does a cell know when to divide? Researchers have found the answer, and it may prove significant to future cancer therapy.
One type of the salmonella bacteria is much more likely to cause disease and fend off frontline antibiotics when acquired in Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa rather than domestically in the United States.
Scientists have identified a gene critical to one of the cell’s most important repair processes.
The human body is essentially made up of trillions of living cells. It ages as its cells age, which happens when those cells eventually stop replicating and dividing.
Wearable devices can detect people’s stress, according to new Washington State University research, opening potential new interventions for people with addictions.
As atmospheric concentrations of CFC-11 drop, the global ocean should become a source of the chemical by the middle of next century.
Most bottom-dwelling marine invertebrate animals, such as sponges, corals, worms and oysters, produce tiny larvae that swim in the ocean prior to attaching to the seafloor and transforming into juveniles.
The negative effects of food preservatives on the mouth microbiome (the collection of all microbes, such as bacteria, fungi, viruses and their genes, that naturally live inside and on human bodies), are shown through a study by University of Hawaiʻi Maui College students.
Hawaiʻi Gov. David Ige allowed individual counties to make their own COVID-19 pandemic rules and orders beginning on December 1, 2021.

Older adults are using kratom, often as an alternative to opioids for pain relief.
STEM CELLS An ancient fish called a ‘living fossil’ has helped researchers understand the basics of stem cells. This will further stem cell research and be a step in the direction of creating artificial organs
BREAST CANCER How do you know whether breast cancer treatment will be able to cure the individual patient? New gene technology can tell us, and it may prove vital to patients.
Research on how water behaves in a proton channel provides possible new avenues for flu treatment.
New MIT vaccines that catch a ride to immune cell depots could help fight cancer and HIV.
