New discovery of Jurassic reptile blurs the line between snake and lizard

2025-10-01

New research has uncovered a species of hook-toothed lizard that lived about 167 million years ago and has a confusing set of features seen in snakes and geckos—two very distant relatives. One of the oldest relatively complete fossil lizards yet discovered, the Jurassic specimen is described in a study, published today in the journal Nature, from a multinational collaboration between the American Museum of Natural History and scientists in the United Kingdom, including University College London and the National Museums Scotland, France, and South Africa. The ...

Cumulative cardiovascular health score through young adulthood and cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in midlife

2025-10-01

About The Study: The findings of this study suggest that a higher cumulative cardiovascular health score from 30 to 40 years of age was associated with markedly lower risks of cardiovascular disease and kidney events in midlife, highlighting the importance of sustained primordial prevention efforts throughout early life.

Data for a better vanadium flow

2025-10-01

Scientists at PSI have created a dynamic database for vanadium, an important raw material. This metal has enormous potential for the energy transition. Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) can store electricity for longer than the widely used lithium-ion technology. This makes them particularly suitable for storing surplus wind and solar power in large facilities and feeding it back into the grid at a later time. They can therefore serve as energy buffers, stabilising the power grid and ensuring electricity supply even during a dunkelflaute, a period when neither the wind nor the sun are producing enough electricity. The lack of such storage facilities is considered ...

A middle-ground framework for US vaccine policy

2025-10-01

In a new JAMA Viewpoint, Lainie Friedman Ross, MD, PhD, chair of the Department of Health Humanities and Bioethics at the University of Rochester Medical Center, and Mark Navin, PhD, chair of Philosophy at Oakland University, argue that America’s vaccine policy demands a new approach. Their article, “America’s Vaccine Policy Whiplash — Finding the Way Forward,” lays out a practical middle-ground framework: acknowledge shared blame, abandon absolutist tactics that have fueled public backlash, and rebuild trust through smarter, community-based education and outreach. “There’s plenty of blame to go around,” ...

Potential smoking gun signature of supermassive dark stars found in JWST data

2025-10-01

The first stars in the universe formed out of pristine hydrogen and helium clouds, in the first few hundred million years after the Big Bang. New James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations reveal that some of the first stars in the universe could have been very different from regular (nuclear fusion-powered) stars, which have been observed and catalogued by astronomers for millennia. A recent study led by Cosmin Ilie, at Colgate University, in collaboration with Shafaat Mahmud (Colgate ’26), Jillian Paulin (Colgate ’23) at UPenn, and Katherine Freese, at The University of Texas at Austin, identifies four ...

Breast cancer and autism: Visualization of the oxytocin receptor enables new theranostic approaches

2025-10-01

Researchers at the University of Vienna have developed fluorescent peptide tracers that can simultaneously visualise and activate the oxytocin receptor. This receptor–also known as the love/bonding hormone receptor–plays a key role in processes related to social behaviour, health and disease. These tracers create new possibilities for imaging and functional analysis in various biological systems–with far-reaching implications for fundamental research as well as for breast cancer diagnostics and therapy. The development of the tracers is described in the current issue of the ...

9/11 study shows how toxic exposures may lead to blood cancers

2025-10-01

October 1, 2025—(BRONX, NY)—A study led by researchers at the National Cancer Institute-designated Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center (MECCC) has found that mutations in blood-forming cells may explain the increased risk for leukemia and other blood disorders among first responders exposed to the 9/11 World Trade Center (WTC) disaster site and its toxic dust. The study also points to a novel strategy for use against inflammation and blood disorders associated with environmental toxins. The research was published today in Cancer Discovery, a journal of the ...

NIH grant will fund autism research replication, validation, and reproducibility center

2025-10-01

Investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and Cornell’s Ithaca campus have received a $5.1 million, three-year grant from the National Institutes of Health’s Autism Data Science Initiative (ADSI) to launch the Autism Replication, Validation, and Reproducibility (AR²) Center. The center aims to improve the reliability of autism research and foster public trust in the field. “The AR² Center will serve as a scientific quality control hub for the ADSI teams and projects,” said the principal investigator, Dr. Judy Zhong, chief of the Division of Biostatistics in the Department of Population ...

New AI enhances the view inside fusion energy systems

2025-10-01

Imagine watching a favorite movie when suddenly the sound stops. The data representing the audio is missing. All that’s left are images. What if artificial intelligence (AI) could analyze each frame of the video and provide the audio automatically based on the pictures, reading lips and noting each time a foot hits the ground? That’s the general concept behind a new AI that fills in missing data about plasma, the fuel of fusion, according to Azarakhsh Jalalvand of Princeton University. Jalalvand is the lead author on a paper ...

Combined resources will improve cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic care

2025-10-01

For Release 8 a.m. CT/9 a.m. ET, Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2025 DALLAS and KANSAS CITY — The American Heart Association, devoted to changing the future to a world of healthier lives for all, has acquired program assets of the Cardiometabolic Center Alliance (CMCA) collaborative, strengthening the efforts of both organizations to establish integrated care that holistically manages cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic health. The missions of the CMCA and American Heart Association are closely aligned, focusing on comprehensive risk reduction and improving the quality of care and outcomes of patients with cardiometabolic disease. In addition, they both aim to accomplish these goals by supporting ...
