Dr. Teresa Sanchez, associate professor of pathology and laboratory medicine and associate professor of neuroscience in the Feil Family Brain and Mind Research Institute at Weill Cornell Medicine, has been awarded the highly competitive Established Investigator Award from the American Heart Association.

Chemists at Goethe University Frankfurt have developed a catalyst capable of breaking down per- and polyfluorinated organic substances (PFAS) – also known as “forever chemicals” – in a targeted manner. PFAS are widely used to make surfaces resistant to dirt and water, but their extreme persistence in the environment and potential health risks have made them a growing concern. What sets this new catalyst apart is that it does not rely on costly or toxic heavy metals like platinum, palladium, or iridium. Beyond its ability to degrade PFAS, the catalyst could also be used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals.

In just over 20 years, the northward shift of the subtropical jet stream — a high-altitude airflow — caused by climate change has reduced primary production in the northwestern Mediterranean by about 40%. This marked reduction — the highest ever described — affects the base of the marine food web and could significantly impact living resources, ecosystem health and marine dynamics in this region of the Mediterranean.

Out-of-body experiences – where people feel disconnected from their physical form – may be a coping mechanism triggered by trauma or other overwhelming stress, new research suggests.

Older adults are quite aware of their financial abilities – and these abilities actually improve with age – that is, until dementia sets in, according to new research from Binghamton University, State University of New York.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICCA) is an aggressive primary liver cancer with rising global incidence and limited therapeutic options. Its insidious onset and high molecular heterogeneity contribute to poor prognosis, underscoring the need for improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This review synthesizes the histological, genetic, and molecular subtypes of ICCA and explores their imaging correlates, offering a roadmap for precision medicine in ICCA management.
