Two years ago the United Network for Organ Sharing implemented new allocation guidelines for lung transplants that prioritize medical urgency. Now new research published at the 2025 ATS International Conference shows that waitlist outcomes significantly improved under the new system.

Prednisone is recommended as the first-line treatment for pulmonary sarcoidosis, but this steroid causes a number of unwanted side effects. Now new research published at the ATS 2025 International Conference finds that methotrexate provides a comparable alternative.

A wearable pulse oximeter and connected software platform show promise for monitoring obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and other sleep-related breathing diseases, according to research presented at the ATS 2025 International Conference.

Rising temperatures increase the severity of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), according to a large new study published at the ATS 2025 International Conference. The study also found that, under the most likely climate change scenarios, the societal burden of OSA is expected to double in most countries over the next 75 years.

After its new extension, which increased its computing power fourfold, the Jean Zay supercomputer is now capable of 125.9 million billion operations per second. Hosted and operated by the CNRS’s Institute for Development and Resources in Intensive Scientific Computing (IDRIS), Jean Zay, which was acquired by the French Grand Équipement National de Calcul Intensif (GENCI), has become one of France’s most powerful supercomputers. The official inauguration of this extension, which was announced by the French President, was held on Tuesday, 13 May 2025.

The Exposome Moonshot Forum will take place May 12th to 15th in the heart of Washington, DC. This highly participatory, impact-driven, multi-stakeholder forum will consider issues and opportunities surrounding data protection, AI integrations, and multi-national representation to build an effective and ethically informed launchpad for the Human Exposome. The Human Exposome, a counterpart to the Human Genome Project, uses precision analytics, predictive environmental data, and biometrics to understand the impact of lived environment on individual health profiles and outcomes. This once-in-a-generation endeavor will revolutionize the way we understand and address public health challenges, offering highly precise health profiles that consider every individual’s lived experience and local context.

At the upcoming Joint Congress of the European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) and the European Society for Paediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) in Copenhagen (10–13 May 2025), the European endocrine community will get a first look at EndoCompass, a landmark hormone health research initiative set for publication in June.
