17-Jun-2026 White roofs and urban parks reduce heat in cities, but do not offset extreme global warming Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona The implementation of reflective white roofs and new urban parks can significantly reduce temperatures in cities and decrease population vulnerability to heat waves, although these measures are not sufficient to counteract the projected increase of more than 6 °C by 2100. This is demonstrated by a recent study led by the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ICTA-UAB), Spain. Journal Urban Climate

12-Jun-2026 Integrating multiomics and whole slide imaging for predicting the malignant transformation of precancerous rectal lesions Xia & He Publishing Inc. Predicting the malignant transformation of rectal precancerous lesions remains challenging because conventional Whole Slide Images (WSIs) capture morphological information but lack molecular insight. Multiomics data provide complementary biological signals that often precede visible morphological changes. This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence (AI)-based multimodal framework integrating WSI and multiomics data for accurate early prediction of malignant transformation.
