Skeletal muscle epigenetic clocks developed using postmortem tissue from an Asian population

2025-12-30
“This study introduces the skeletal muscle epigenetic clocks in an Asian population using postmortem skeletal muscle tissue.” BUFFALO, NY — December 30, 2025 — A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 11 of Aging-US on November 26, 2025, titled “Epigenetic aging signatures and age prediction in human skeletal muscle.” In this study, first author Soo-Bin Yang and corresponding author Hwan Young Lee from Seoul National University College of Medicine investigated ...

Estimating unemployment rates with social media data

2025-12-30
Social media posts about unemployment can predict official jobless claims up to two weeks before government data is released, according to a study. Unemployment can be tough, and people often post about it online. Sam Fraiberger and colleagues developed an artificial intelligence model that identifies unemployment disclosures on social media. Data from 31.5 million Twitter users posting between 2020 and 2022 was used to train a transformer-based classifier called JoblessBERT to detect unemployment-related posts, even those that featured slang or misspellings, ...

Climate policies can backfire by eroding “green” values, study finds

2025-12-30
A popular vision of life after climate action looks like vegetarians riding bikes, city centers without cars, and people foregoing air travel. But a paper published in Nature Sustainability finds that climate policies targeting lifestyle changes (say, urban car bans) actually may weaken people’s green values, thereby undermining support for other needed environmental policies. “Policies don’t just spur a target behavior. We find that they can change people’s underlying values: leading to unintended negative effects, but also possibly cultivating green values,” says SFI Complexity Postdoctoral ...

Too much screen time too soon? A*STAR study links infant screen exposure to brain changes and teen anxiety

2025-12-30
SINGAPORE — Children exposed to high levels of screen time before age two showed changes in brain development that were linked to slower decision-making and increased anxiety by their teenage years, according to new research by Asst Prof Tan Ai Peng and her team from A*STAR Institute for Human Development and Potential (A*STAR IHDP) and National University of Singapore (NUS) Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, using data from the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Outcomes (GUSTO) cohort. Published in eBioMedicine, the study tracked the same children over more than a decade, with brain imaging ...

Global psychiatry mourns Professor Dan Stein, visionary who transformed mental health science across Africa and beyond

2025-12-30
NEW YORK, New York, USA, 31 December 2025 — An obituary published today in Genomic Psychiatry pays tribute to Professor Dan Joseph Stein, the internationally acclaimed psychiatrist and neuroscientist who died on 6 December 2025 at age 63 after a brief illness. Professor Stein served as Chair of the Department of Psychiatry and Mental Health at the University of Cape Town, Director of the South African Medical Research Council Unit on Risk & Resilience in Mental Disorders, and Scientific Director of the UCT Neuroscience Institute. His death ...

KIST develops eco-friendly palladium recovery technology to safeguard resource security

2025-12-30
Palladium (Pd) is widely used in various industries and everyday products, including smartphones, semiconductor manufacturing processes, and hydrogen fuel cells. Palladium is an essential metal that acts as an excellent catalyst even in minute quantities, reducing pollutants and enhancing energy efficiency. However, palladium production is concentrated in a few countries, leading to unstable supply. While South Korea generates significant amounts of spent catalysts and electronic waste annually, a lack of eco-friendly and efficient recovery technologies means much is discarded or relies ...

Brain immune cells may drive more damage in females than males with Alzheimer’s

2025-12-29
More than seven million Americans have Alzheimer’s disease, and two-thirds of them are women, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. The O’Banion Lab at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester has long been studying this disease and is looking more closely at the differences between male and female brains. “It is well documented that males and females are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease at different rates,” said M. Kerry O’Banion, MD, PhD, professor of Neuroscience and Neurology. “But we still do ...

Fungus turns bark beetles’ defenses against them

2025-12-29
Spruce bark is rich in phenolic compounds that protect trees from pathogenic fungi. A research team at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena investigated how these plant defenses function within the food web, particularly in spruce bark beetles (Ips typographus), which ingest the compounds through their diet. Could the beetles use substances from the spruce's defenses to protect themselves against pathogenic fungi? Beetles convert plant defenses into even more toxic forms Using state-of-the-art analytical methods such ...
