More research needed to explore potential racial, gender and socioeconomic differences in stroke treatment and recovery

2025-07-14

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 14, 2025 CONTACT: Camille Jewell cjewell@vancomm.com or 202-248-5460 NASHVILLE — Research presented today at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery’s (SNIS) 22nd Annual Meeting included three studies that explored the differences in treatment and recovery options for patients across racial, gender and socioeconomic lines in a large telestroke network in Pennsylvania and a university medical center in Rhode Island. Telestroke treatment aims to improve care for people with stroke symptoms who live far from comprehensive stroke centers — hospitals that offer a full ...

Prostate cancer cells survive treatment by storing fat in low oxygen conditions

2025-07-14

“[…] manipulating LD dynamics represents a promising strategy to overcome hypoxia-induced resistance to ferroptosis and improve the success of PCa treatment.” BUFFALO, NY – July 14, 2025 – A new research paper was published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on June 25, 2025, titled “Hypoxia induced lipid droplet accumulation promotes resistance to ferroptosis in prostate cancer.” In this study, researchers led by Shailender S. Chauhan and Noel A. Warfel from the University of Arizona discovered that prostate cancer cells survive treatment ...

Novel open-source diagnostic tool offers affordable, reliable pathogen detection for resource-limited settings

2025-07-14

A bottleneck in ensuring access to widespread molecular diagnostics, especially in low- and middle-income countries, has been the high cost and logistical complexities associated with rapid, point-of-care tests. Now, a collaborative research effort outlined in a Life Science Alliance (LSA) study to be published July 14, 2025 has addressed these challenges by developing a lyophilized (freeze-dried) open-source reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay for pathogen detection. This method, successfully applied to COVID-19, aims to make the diagnostics more accessible and affordable globally. In ...

Answers to existence of alien life might be found in Earth’s deep-sea volcanoes

2025-07-14

AMHERST, Mass. — While popular culture commonly depicts extraterrestrial life as little green men with large, oval-shaped heads, it’s most likely that if there is life beyond our planet and within our solar system, it is microbial. Recently, NASA awarded University of Massachusetts Amherst microbiologist James Holden $621,000 to spend the next three years using his expertise to help predict what life on Jupiter’s moon Europa might look like. For that, Holden turned to an unexpected place: the volcanoes a mile beneath our own oceans. Jupiter’s moon, Europa, has a frozen surface, but astronomers believe that beneath all that ice lies a salty, liquid ocean ...

SwRI evaluates effects of hydrogen and natural gas blends on storage tanks

2025-07-14

SAN ANTONIO — July 14, 2025 — Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is taking on the challenges of a hydrogen-powered future. In collaboration with NYSEARCH, a nonprofit research and development organization for the gas industry serving utility members across North America, SwRI is investigating how blending hydrogen into liquid natural gas (LNG) could affect the integrity of the LNG storage tanks. Natural gas is widely used to power appliances and heat homes. By blending hydrogen into ...

New study reveals widespread and overlooked flooding across NC

2025-07-14

A new study from UNC-Chapel Hill reveals that repetitive flooding in North Carolina is far more common and more widespread than previously recognized, with over 20,000 buildings flooding multiple times between 1996 and 2020. The study, which mapped 78 flood events across roughly three-quarters of the state, fills a major gap in understanding the full impacts of flooding on communities well beyond the state’s coastal floodplains. Until now, detailed flood maps have existed for only a handful of past events. The research team created high-resolution maps for more than 70 previously unmapped floods, linking them to the exact locations ...

In a competitive world, mean leaders look smart

2025-07-14

People who view the world as a savage social jungle are more likely to admire antagonistic leaders, praising their competence, while those who see the social world as cooperative and benign might just call those leaders clueless, according to research published by the American Psychological Association. “Why do some people see antagonistic behavior in leaders – especially when it’s particularly mean or forceful or disagreeable – as a sign of incompetence, while others view it as a mark of savvy leadership?” said Christine Nguyen, a doctoral student at Columbia ...

New study highlights how perceived economic inequality undermines individual well-being across 71 countries

2025-07-14

New research published in Social Psychological and Personality Science shows that awareness of economic disparity affects happiness, meaning, harmony and spiritual well-being. A comprehensive new study examining data from 71 countries suggests that perceiving high levels of economic inequality significantly undermines individual well-being across multiple dimensions of human flourishing. The research provides crucial insights into how awareness of economic disparity affects not just happiness, but also people's sense of meaning, harmony, and spirituality. Led by researcher ...

The heat survival code of plants: The hidden mechanism of RNA splicing uncovered

2025-07-14

While humans can escape the heat by seeking shade or shedding layers, plants remain rooted in place. So how do they survive extreme heat? It’s a question many have wondered—and now, science has an answer. A research team led by Dr. Hye sun Cho at the Plant Systems Engineering Research Center of the Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology(KRIBB) has uncovered, for the first time at the molecular level, the mechanism by which plants adapt and survive under heat stress. The breakthrough is expected to greatly ...

How plants survive drought: The unsuspected role of myosin XI in guard cells

2025-07-14

With intensifying global warming and climate change, drought has become a major threat to global agriculture, impacting crop yields and food security. To survive such adverse events, plants have evolved several strategies. One such strategy to counteract water scarcity is ‘stomatal closure,’ where stomata—the tiny pores on leaf surfaces responsible for gaseous exchange—close to limit water loss. This process is regulated by the plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA), which plays a crucial ...
