Collaborative research team to uncover how plants “remember” and adapt to heat stress

2025-11-10

ST. LOUIS, MO, November 10, 2025 - A new collaborative research team of plant scientists led by Ru Zhang, PhD, associate member, Danforth Plant Science Center has been awarded new funding from the National Science Foundation to investigate how photosynthetic cells retain “heat stress memory” (HSM), a key adaptive mechanism that could help future crops withstand intense and frequent heat waves. Photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert sunlight into energy, is the key driver of plant growth ...

Research alert: AI model powers skin cancer detection across diverse populations

2025-11-10

Researchers at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine have developed a new approach for identifying individuals with skin cancer that combines genetic ancestry, lifestyle and social determinants of health using a machine learning model. Their model, more accurate than existing approaches, also helped the researchers better characterize disparities in skin cancer risk and outcomes. Skin cancer is among the most common cancers in the United States, with more than 9,500 new cases diagnosed every day and approximately ...

Long-term poverty and rising unsecured debt in early adulthood each linked to higher risk of premature death

2025-11-10

November 10, 2025— Adults who experience poverty-level family income—whether sustained or intermittent—over two decades spanning young to mid-adulthood face a significantly higher risk of dying prematurely than those who are never in poverty, according to new research led by Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. A companion study by the same research team finds that rising unsecured debt—such as credit card debt not tied to an asset—may be one mechanism linking early-life financial hardship to ...

A novel climate biostress model and sentinel system seeks to track global climate impacts

2025-11-10

NEW YORK, NY, November 10, 2025 – An interdisciplinary team of scientists at the Advanced Science Research Center at the CUNY Graduate Center (CUNY ASRC) has unveiled a groundbreaking conceptual model and integrative monitoring framework designed to reveal how climate change is stressing life across the planet. Their study, published this week in Cell Reports Sustainability, introduces the concept of the Climate BioStress model and proposes the adoption of an integrative Climate BioStress Sentinel System (CBS3), which could transform how researchers, policymakers, ...

Zero-cost, AI-driven digital detection identifies Alzheimer’s and related dementias without additional clinician time

2025-11-10

Few primary care practices are designed for the timely detection of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The limited time that primary care clinicians are able to spend with patients, the need to focus on the health problems which brought the patient to the clinic, as well as the stigma of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are major reasons for lack of recognition of the condition. Researchers have demonstrated that a fully digital artificial intelligence zero-cost method for detecting dementia can be scaled across primary care clinics without ...

Suicide prevention program decreases risks, saves lives among people recently released from jail

2025-11-10

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — A federally funded clinical trial to evaluate an intervention to prevent suicides among people recently released from jail reduced suicide attempts by 55%. That’s according to a new study in JAMA Network Open led by researchers from Brown University and Michigan State University. In the United States, one in five adults who attempts suicide has spent at least one night in jail in the year prior. With more than 10 million admissions per year and many stays of just a few days, jails touch a significant number of people at high risk for suicide who are not well connected with other support services. This ...

Evolution of firearm mortality as the leading cause of death in the US pediatric population

2025-11-10

About The Study: U.S. individuals ages 1 to 19 are now more likely to die by firearm injury than any other cause. While this national shift occurred in 2019, Alaska had already flipped as early as 2004. Over the past 2 decades, more states flipped to firearm mortality as the predominant cause of death in this age group, including nearly half of the states in the most recent era reviewed.

Firearm homicide in pregnant women and state-level firearm ownership

2025-11-10

About The Study: In this cross-sectional study of homicides among women, state-level firearm ownership was significantly associated with all-cause and firearm-specific homicide among pregnant women, independent of state-level factors. These results suggest that homicide prevention interventions should focus on women, especially during the increased risk period of pregnancy.

Child abuse and neglect rates in the U.S. are dropping, but disparities exist

2025-11-10

Investigators at Mass General Brigham have found that cases of child abuse and neglect in the United States have declined overall over the last decade, but disparities have persisted and in some cases widened. Poverty, which likely underlies much of the observed gaps, was highlighted as a critically important target for intervention. The research is published in JAMA Pediatrics. “Poverty is a relentless source of stress that permeates families, creating an environment where the struggles for survival may overshadow the nurturing ...

Cooperative motor proteins found to kill cancer cells when dual-inhibited

2025-11-10

Osaka, Japan - A research team from The University of Osaka, in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has uncovered a new molecular mechanism underlying chromosome alignment during cell division. The study demonstrates that two motor proteins, KIF18A and CENP-E, act cooperatively to ensure proper chromosome congression. Remarkably, simultaneous inhibition of these proteins selectively kills cancer cells, suggesting a promising therapeutic avenue. Accurate chromosome segregation is essential for healthy cell division; its failure leads to chromosomal instability—a hallmark of cancer. While the kinetochore, a protein complex on chromosomes, coordinates this ...
