JACC issues inaugural report on state of US cardiovascular health
2026-01-12
WASHINGTON (January 12, 2026) — Through its commitment to a data-driven approach to improving cardiovascular health, JACC, the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology, today published the first JACC Cardiovascular Statistics report. This comprehensive analysis examines five major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors - hypertension, diabetes, obesity, LDL-cholesterol and cigarette smoking - and the five conditions that collectively account for most CVD deaths and disability in America: coronary heart disease (CHD), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure ...
SwRI evaluates fire risks associated with solar panel installations
2026-01-12
SAN ANTONIO — January 12, 2026 — Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) conducted a series of large-scale tests to investigate factors that affect flame spread beneath photovoltaic (PV) panel installations on flat, commercial and industrial rooftops. The research will help fire safety organizations update standards and fire mitigation strategies.
The team fabricated test decks to replicate large roofing assemblies with mounted PV solar panels. Researchers exposed the leading edge of the deck to flame and crosswind to better understand fire hazards and evaluate mitigation strategies. ...
Discovery on how aggressive breast cancer controls protein production
2026-01-12
A previously unknown mechanism that makes it possible for aggressive so-called triple-negative breast cancer to fine-tune its production of proteins has been discovered by researchers at Umeå University, Sweden. The discovery increases our understanding of how tumours grow and adapt, and it opens up for research into new future treatments.
"We have found a critical control point that, when disturbed, can tip the balance against cancer," says Francesca Aguilo, associate professor at the Department of Molecular Biology at Umeå University and who has led the current study.
All cells in the body use ribosomes, small molecular ...
A simple blood test can predict Crohn’s disease years before symptoms appear
2026-01-12
Sinai Health researchers have shown a blood test that can predict Crohn’s disease years before symptoms appear, opening the doors to early diagnosis and potentially prevention.
The test measures a person’s immune response to flagellin, a protein found on gut bacteria. This response is elevated in individuals long before they develop Crohn’s Disease, a team led by Dr. Ken Croitoru, a clinician scientist at the Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, part of Sinai Health, has found. The team also included gastrointestinal medical resident, Dr. Richard Wu, and clinician scientist, and staff gastroenterologist Dr. Sun-Ho Lee.
Drs. Croitoru and Lee are also a part of ...
FAU study reveals social, family and health factors behind teen bullying
2026-01-12
Bullying in the United States remains a serious public health issue with consequences that extend far beyond the school grounds. For adolescents, being bullied – or engaging in bullying – can lead to lasting mental, physical and social challenges that follow them into adulthood. Victims face higher risks of depression, anxiety, hallucinations, suicidality, and other long-term mental health conditions, while perpetrators often experience increased rates of delinquency, dating violence and criminal behavior.
Social factors, including socioeconomic disadvantages, race and physical differences, further intensify the problem. Bullying is ...
New alliance trial seeks to reduce delays in gastrointestinal cancer treatment
2026-01-12
To make cancer care smoother and more effective, the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology has introduced a new clinical trial for people with gastrointestinal cancers, such as cancers of the stomach, colon, and esophagus. The PAGODA trial (Alliance A232402CD) will test a proactive approach to chemotherapy dose adjustments, aiming to minimize treatment interruptions and help patients complete their chemotherapy as planned.
“Unplanned chemotherapy interruptions can be stressful, time consuming, and may affect how well treatment works,” said study chair Gabriel Brooks, MD, MPH, an Associate Professor ...
Discovery of a new superfluid phase in non-Hermitian quantum systems
2026-01-12
A stable "exceptional fermionic superfluid," a new quantum phase that intrinsically hosts singularities known as exceptional points, has been discovered by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo. Their analysis of a non-Hermitian quantum model with spin depairing shows that dissipation can actively stabilize a superfluid with these singularities embedded within it. The work reveals how lattice geometry dictates the phase's stability and provides a path to realizing it in experiments with ultracold atoms.
In the quantum world, open quantum systems are those ...
Codes in the cilia: New study maps how Cilk1 and Hedgehog levels sculpt tooth architecture
2026-01-12
Changes in early tooth development can have surprisingly big effects on a person’s smile. Missing teeth, extra teeth, unusually small or large teeth, or teeth that fuse together can cause problems in appearance, chewing , and long-term oral and general health issues. Because these problems arise from intricate signaling networks that operate during tooth development, the underlying biological causes can be difficult to pinpoint, making diagnosis and prevention challenging. Scientists have uncovered many of the networks involved, but it remains challenging to fully explain how the body decides how many teeth to form—or where each ...
Chonnam National University researchers develop novel virtual sensor grid method for low-cost, yet robust, infrastructure monitoring
2026-01-12
Structural health monitoring (SHM) and condition monitoring are crucial processes that ensure reliability and safety of engineering systems in a variety of fields, including aerospace, civil engineering, and industry. These systems are often assessed using vibration-based methods, where damage is detected by analyzing changes in a structure’s vibration characteristics. Traditional methods typically employ contact-type sensors for this purpose. While effective, these methods face several limitations, including low spatial resolution, high costs, difficulties in sensor placement, and measurements that are restricted to small regions around each sensor.
Vision-based methods, where non-contact, ...
Expanded school-based program linked to lower youth tobacco use rates in California
2026-01-12
Researchers from University of California San Diego report that an expanded, school-based tobacco prevention program in California was associated with significantly lower rates of smoking and vaping among middle and high school students. The study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health on Jan. 12, 2026, evaluated the impact of California’s Tobacco-Use Prevention Education (TUPE) program following a major funding increase approved by voters in 2016.
Using data from more than 160,000 students statewide, the researchers found that students attending schools receiving TUPE funding were 20% less likely to use tobacco overall and 23% less likely to vape, compared ...
