(Press-News.org) About The Study: This cross-sectional study revealed high attrition rates among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) medical students, with the highest observed among LGB Hispanic male and female students. Our findings highlight the importance of intersectionality in understanding attrition from medical school. Although future studies need to examine the cause of these disparities in attrition, LGB students experience discrimination within medical training environments, which may lead to risk of attrition.

Parental firearm storage and their teens’ perceived firearm access in US households
2025-06-10
About The Study: This study found that parent-reported firearm storage may be a poor estimator of teen perceived firearm access, regardless of teen gender, parental education, and urbanicity. Strictly focusing safety efforts on locked and unloaded firearm storage may not fully negate teen’s perceptions that they can access and load household firearms. Storing additional firearms securely may not prevent teen access if at least 1 household firearm remains unlocked.

Cutting-edge technology expands dictionary of human metabolism
2025-06-10
Human metabolism is a complex web of chemical processes and interactions between our cells and the microbes living within us. The more scientists can identify and classify the molecules involved in our metabolism, called metabolites, the more we can learn about human health and disease. Now, researchers at University of California San Diego have made a major advance in our understanding of human metabolism by describing hundreds of new N-acyl lipids, a type of molecule involved in immune and stress responses.
The main findings of the study, published in Cell, were:
The researchers identified 851 distinct N-acyl lipids across various tissues and biofluids, ...
Silicate clouds discovered in atmosphere of distant exoplanet
2025-06-10
Astrophysicists have gained precious new insights into how distant “exoplanets” form and what their atmospheres can look like, after using the James Webb Telescope to image two young exoplanets in extraordinary detail. Among the headline findings were the presence of silicate clouds in one of the planet’s atmospheres, and a circumplanetary disk thought to feed material that can form moons around the other.
In broader terms, understanding how the “YSES-1” super-solar system formed offers further insight into the origins of our own solar system, and gives us the ...
In2O3 catalyst structural evolution during the induction period of CO2 hydrogenation
2025-06-10
As one of the most important industrially viable methods for carbon dioxide (CO2) utilization, methanol synthesis serves as a platform for the production of green fuels and commodity chemicals. For sustainable methanol synthesis, In₂O₃ is an ideal catalyst and has garnered significant attention. Recently, a research team led by Prof. Peng Gao and Prof. Shenggang Li (Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences) conducted an integrated experimental and computational investigation into the structural evolution ...
Baby talk is real: Adults speak differently to babies in at least 10 different languages
2025-06-10
Tokyo, Japan - There are many factors that contribute to infant language development, not least of which is baby talk—the modified speech mothers and other adults often use when speaking to infants.
Baby talk is more formally referred to as infant-directed speech (IDS) and often differs from adult-directed speech (ADS) in both pitch and vocabulary. One component of IDS that remains controversial, however, is the exaggeration or hyperarticulation of vowel sounds. Some experts contend that vowel exaggeration produces clearer speech sounds ...
The development of China’s national carbon market: An overview
2025-06-10
The launch of China’s national carbon market has doubled the emissions covered by global carbon pricing mechanisms, making it the world’s largest carbon market. It is expected to be a crucial tool for China in achieving its climate goals of peaking CO2 emissions by 2030 and reaching carbon neutrality by 2060.
A research team composed of members from Tsinghua University and Carnegie Mellon University, recently published a review article in the journal Energy and Climate Management, outlining the development background and process of China’s national ...
Why epigenetic clocks may fail to measure anti-aging effects
2025-06-10
“It is not easy to distinguish Type 1 from Type 2, but a clock based on a mixture of Type 1 and Type 2 methylation is likely to produce inconsistent and misleading results, when applied to anti-aging technologies.”
BUFFALO, NY — June 10, 2025 — A new research perspective was published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 5, on May 5, 2025, titled “Methylation clocks for evaluation of anti-aging interventions.”
In this perspective article, Dr. Josh Mitteldorf explores how current epigenetic clocks—used ...
Sudy shows that existing drug class may help patients with skin cancer that resists standard treatments
2025-06-10
Increased activity in a specific biological pathway may explain why many patients with a deadly form of skin cancer do not respond to the latest cancer treatments, a new study shows.
Publishing in the journal Cancer Research online June 10, the study featured data generated from experiments with human tissues and cells from patients with advanced melanoma that were implanted into mice. Results uncovered therapeutic targets that could limit melanoma growth in patients whose cancer failed to respond to initial ...
CT colonography beats stool DNA testing for colon cancer screening
2025-06-10
OAK BROOK, Ill. – Compared to stool DNA testing, researchers found that CT colonography is a cost-saving and clinically effective method for colorectal cancer screening, according to a study was published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death globally. Routine screening of the colon and rectum can aid in the detection and removal of precancerous polyps, mitigating the need for advanced-stage cancer treatments and the added costs associated with said treatments.
Due to the disturbing trend of colorectal cancer diagnoses ...
International oncology experts meet in Kenya to address regional cancer needs
