Future-focused conservation index identifies reptiles as highest conservation priority

2025-10-21

Reptiles could overtake amphibians as the highest priority for conservation among vertebrates as threats like climate change and invasive species worsen in the future, according to a new conservation index tool developed by Gabriel Henrique de Oliveira Caetano at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel and Université Paris-Saclay, France, and colleagues, publishing October 21st in the open-access journal PLOS Biology. Climate change, habitat loss, and the overexploitation of nature are driving wildlife population declines and extinctions ...

Ideological polarization and the spread of biased or fake news on Facebook are on the rise, according to a study by the UPF

2025-10-21

A study led by Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) confirms the rise in ideological polarization and biased or false news posted on Facebook. This groundbreaking research analyzed over 6 million news-related URLs – from 1,231 different domains in the United States – shared on Facebook between 2017 and 2020. The news stories from these four years covered such significant events as the COVID pandemic, the 2020 US presidential elections (which culminated in the attack on Congress following Trump’s loss) and the 2018 midterm elections, in which all seats ...

New study reveals how tiny but powerful gatekeepers guard the nucleus

2025-10-21

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are tiny but sophisticated gatekeepers that control the flow of materials between a cell’s nucleus and its cytoplasm by quickly selecting which molecules to transport across the nuclear membrane. Because NPCs are involved in most key cellular processes, when the transport system goes awry, numerous diseases can result, especially those of a neurodegenerative nature. How each NPC makes a split-second decision about which molecules to allow to pass through its molecular gate is one of biology’s oldest mysteries. Now researchers from The Rockefeller University, working with ...

Discovery of a brown dwarf orbiting a red dwarf through the synergy of ground- and space-based observatories

2025-10-21

M dwarfs, or red dwarfs, are the most common type of star in our galaxy, accounting for more than half of all stars in the Milky Way. These small, cool stars are key targets for understanding the processes of stellar and planetary formation and evolution. However, because M dwarfs are intrinsically faint, detailed observations have historically been limited, and early surveys suggested that more than 70% of them were single stars. Recent advances in observational techniques, however, have revealed that this picture was incomplete: the frequency of low-mass ...

Disruptive investments can build a cleaner aviation industry

2025-10-21

Taking greater investment risks with technologies and new lines of business can help lower emissions from the aviation industry, one of the world’s fastest-growing sources of climate pollution, shows new research from UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School. The full article, “Mobilizing Capital and Technology for a Clean Aviation Industry,” was first published in Science, one of the world’s top academic journals. Cutting planet-warming pollution to near-zero will take more than inventing new clean technologies; ...

Wearable optical device distinguishes blood flow signals from the brain and scalp

2025-10-21

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21, 2025 — Measuring how well blood flows to the brain is crucial for understanding a wide range of neurological issues, from strokes to migraines to traumatic brain injuries. Obtaining such measurements noninvasively, however, remains a challenge. The scalp and skull not only obstruct viewing the brain directly but also have their own blood supply, further complicating cerebral blood flow measurements. In APL Bioengineering, by AIP Publishing, researchers from the California Institute of Technology, the University of Southern California, Rancho Research Institute, the University of Toledo, and the National Neuroscience Institute of Singapore ...

USC-Caltech study moves novel tool to measure brain blood flow closer to the clinic

2025-10-21

Measuring blood flow in the brain is critical for responding to a range of neurological problems, including stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and vascular dementia. But existing techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, are expensive and therefore not widely available. Researchers from the USC Neurorestoration Center and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have built a simple, noninvasive alternative. The device takes a technique currently used in animal studies known as speckle contrast optical ...

Changes in colorectal cancer screening modalities among insured individuals

Seaweed makes for eco-friendly tissue scaffolds and reduces animal testing

2025-10-21

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21, 2025 — Seaweed is found around the world. In fact, the name “seaweed” comprises a diverse range of species, from microscopic phytoplankton to the giant forests found in various bodies of water. Seaweed species aren’t just crucial parts of marine ecosystems, though; they also provide numerous health benefits for humans and have been dubbed a superfood by marketing companies, a term used to encompass healthy, nutrient-rich foods. In Biointerphases, an AVS journal published by AIP Publishing, researchers from Oregon State University found yet another ...
