Researchers created a fiber-reinforced composite that resisted delamination and repeatedly healed itself using heat-activated polymers, potentially extending the life of aircraft, turbines and spacecraft components.

Researchers mapped abdominal fat depots in people with obesity, finding colon-adjacent fat rich in inflammatory fat cells and immune cells responded to bacterial signals.

MIT researchers showed that the lectin intelectin-2 bound bacterial sugars and mucus galactose, strengthening the gut barrier and killing diverse pathogens.

New findings based on more than 10,000 MRI scans have shed light on how structural brain changes are tied to memory decline as people age.

Integrated screening and CRISPR reveal eleven previously unknown factors essential for early embryo development. They showed that CXCR2 and CTSD are required for preimplantation development.

Rice University researchers created CLASSIC, a platform that builds vast libraries of genetic circuits and links each full DNA sequence to its output in human cells. CLASSIC predicts circuit performance across untested designs.

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz reconstructed Pompeii’s water system using carbonate isotopes, showing a shift from mineral-rich wells to an aqueduct that improved drinking water but revealed contaminated bath water.

A University of Notre Dame study showed that leading satellite forest datasets agreed only 26% of the time due to varying definitions. Case studies in Brazil, India and Kenya revealed impacts on carbon estimates, climate finance and poverty counts.

Researchers at Korea University applied magnetic torque stimulation to stem cell-derived cardiac organoids, activating mechanotransduction pathways that enhanced maturation and vascularization.

Discover how eating locally-sourced waterfowl may contribute to the high levels of mercury – and healthy omega-3 fatty acids – seen in Indigenous communities.
