JMIR Publications’ outstanding CiteScore performance underscores its leadership in digital health, driven by an unwavering commitment to high-quality, impactful research. “Seeing our portfolio grow to 26 ranked journals, while maintaining a dozen in the top quartile, is a direct result of the high-caliber research our community produces. Our mission-driven staff and editors, alongside our dedicated authors, reviewers, and partners, are key to our journals' influential positions,” said Tiffany I Leung, MPH, MD, FAMIA, scientific editorial director of JMIR Publications. “We’re grateful for their shared commitment to advancing open science in health and medicine.”
Although CiteScore can be one citation-based approach to measuring impact, JMIR Publications recommends that authors and other parties consider alternative metrics, in combination with CiteScore, when assessing a journal’s standing and impact. While proud of its CiteScore rankings, JMIR Publications discourages misuse of citation-based impact scores and emphasizes the overall impact of each journal in its field, rather than individual article citation counts.

Scientists design a new tumor-targeting system for cancer fighting cells
2025-06-10
CAR-T cells are specialized immune cells genetically modified to recognize and attack cancer cells. Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan and their collaborators have developed new CAR-T cells to target malignant tumors. While similar treatments have worked well for blood cancers, treating solid tumors is more difficult. Their method, published in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, targeted a protein found in high amounts on many types of cancer cells (Eva1), and successfully eliminated tumors in lab mice.

ISSCR working group recommends enhanced oversight of stem cell-based embryo models in response to rapid technological advances
2025-06-10
The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) Embryo Models Working Group has released updated recommendations for the oversight and regulation of stem cell-based embryo models (SCBEM), aiming to address rapid advancements and ensure responsible scientific progress. The proposed recommendations are detailed in a new paper published today in Stem Cell Reports.
SCBEMs are three dimensional structures that replicate key aspects of early embryonic development, offering unprecedented potential ...
This ‘claw machine’ can sort a large number of embryo models quickly and effectively
2025-06-10
WASHINGTON, June 10, 2025 – Human development is a beautiful, complex process. Beginning from just two germ cells, the cells divide and double until an entire organism is developed in just under a year.
While studying embryos in vitro can have many ethical and technical complications, there is a model that serves as an excellent substitute. Named after the early-development stage of gastrulation, two-dimensional “gastruloids” are made from colonies of human pluripotent stem cells that can replicate the third week of gestation in which the three germ layers of the body are established.

Magnetic microrobot mechanically mixes microscopic materials
2025-06-10
WASHINGTON, June 10, 2025 – Chemistry often conjures images of mixing fluids together in beakers, flasks, or test tubes. But often, chemistry happens on a much smaller scale. In many medical and industrial contexts, mixing fluids involves fractions of a milliliter, and for these applications, sometimes the best tool is a microscopic robot.
In Nanotechnology and Precision Engineering, by AIP Publishing, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the China Electric Power Research Institute developed a microrobot capable of manipulating small droplets in the presence of magnetic fields.
To make their robot, the researchers mixed neodymium magnetic ...
Intersectionality of sexual orientation, race, and ethnicity in medical school attrition
2025-06-10
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 ...

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 ...
