People whose biological age is higher than their chronological age may be more likely to develop dementia than people whose biological age matches or is lower than their chronological age, according to a study published on April 30, 2025, online in Neurology庐, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
When we think of nature play, we envision children swinging from trees, decorating mud pies with gum nuts, and delving through creek beds. But nature play must be more than this and needs to cater to children of all ages and capabilities, say researchers at the University of South Australia.
Social workers in First Nations communities need to incorporate Aboriginal ways of knowing, being and doing at the heart of their supervision practices on Country.That鈥檚 the recommenda...
Researchers from UC San Diego found that Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) can help rewire the brain鈥檚 response to natural healthy pleasure, leading to reduced opioid cravings. The findings suggest that MORE could be a promising tool in the fight against opioid use disorder.
Finding has implications for treating common neuropsychiatric disorders
In a rare collaboration with geneticists and archaeologists, a federally recognized tribe in the United States has utilized ancient DNA to establish a genetic link to an important ancestral heritage site, Pueblo Bonito in Chaco Canyon.
Early fruit ripening is a valuable trait for grape cultivation, but the underlying epigenetic mechanisms have remained elusive. A new study uncovers how CHH site hypermethylation influences the early ripening phenotype of 'Fengzao', a bud mutant of the popular 'Kyoho' grape. Using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing, researchers demonstrated that higher promoter methylation, particularly at the JOX1 gene, plays a critical role in accelerating ripening. These findings offer fresh insights into the epigenetic regulation of berry development and could inform strategies to control fruit ripening in viticulture.
Efforts to address the U.S. nursing shortage are accelerating with a flurry of recent news reports focused on state-led initiatives to meet workforce demands.
A painter, an astronomer and a photographer 鈥� all professors at Rutgers University-New Brunswick 鈥� have been named to the 100th class of Guggenheim Fellows, which recognizes trailblazing artists and scholars and provides a stipend toward their work.聽 The three 鈥� Marc Handelman, Saurabh Jha and Miranda Lichtenstein 鈥� are among 198 fellows selected this year from a pool of nearly 3,500 across 53 disciplines, according to the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, which recently announced the winners.
Imagine returning to work after a lovely vacation and trying to reboot your computer, only to be greeted by a black or blue screen. Now what? For Sandia National Laboratories employees with an unclassified laptop in the Albuquerque area, they can bring it to one of the two Swift IT Bar locations for in-person assistance.
Fruit firmness plays a critical role in apple quality, influencing both shelf life and consumer preference. Scientists have now identified a natural genetic variation in the MdNAC5 gene that governs differences in apple firmness and ripening speed. By resequencing hundreds of apple hybrids, researchers mapped a key genetic locus and pinpointed a single A-to-T mutation that affects fruit texture. Functional experiments showed that different MdNAC5 variants distinctly regulate ethylene biosynthesis, a central pathway in fruit softening. This discovery offers new insights into the genetic control of apple ripening and opens up potential strategies for breeding apples with optimized firmness and storage properties.
There is a global shortage of omega-3 partly due to environmental factors, according to new research from Case Western Reserve University. This poses a public health and environmental challenge.
A research team led by Dr. Sunghoon Hur of the Electronic and Hybrid Materials Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and Professor Hyun-Cheol Song of Korea University has developed a biocompatible ultrasonic receiver that maintains its performance even when bent.
Children鈥檚 Hospital Los Angeles announced that it has entered a strategic collaboration with Sidra Medicine, one of the leading hospitals for children and women in Qatar and the Middle East. The Memorandum of Understanding signed by the two institutions encompasses participation from multiple specialties across each healthcare organization, with the aim of enhancing shared best practices, advisory support, leading-edge research, patient care initiatives, education, and training.
Asst. Prof. Dr. Vitchatalum Laovanich, Assistant to the President of Chulalongkorn University for Art and Culture Engagement, chaired the opening ceremony of the exhibition 鈥淕enesis through Siamese and Persian Eyes鈥� on April 1, 2025, at Chulalongkorn University Museum.
To address critical U.S. Air Force communications needs, FAU engineering鈥檚 Center for Connected Autonomy and Artificial Intelligence has received a $2.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense Air Force Research Laboratory to establish the FAU Center of Excellence for Research and Education in Programmable Wireless Networks. The center will serve as a critical hub for innovation in dynamic spectrum operations, secure wireless systems and training the next generation of national defense engineers.
Climate change is threatening the livelihoods of smallholder farmers across South Asia. In this context, a new study conducted across transboundary regions of Nepal, India, and Bangladesh uncovers the critical factors that influence their ability to adapt. The study reveals that adaptive capacity (AC) depends on a combination of land access, financial resources, and community networks, and knowledge of climate-resilient agricultural practices. The findings show that, while each country faces unique challenges, shared barriers such as unreliable weather information, limited infrastructure, and financial constraints are holding back smallholder farmers. These insights provide a crucial foundation for shaping targeted adaptation policies and improving resilience in vulnerable farming communities.
