Sunflowers are unable to fully recover from drought, new research has found, contradicting previous findings on the plant’s ability to reverse drought-induced failure of water-transporting tissues and revealing new insights into how drought impacts plants.

A video game Dartmouth researchers designed where teenagers learn to healthily deal with depression reduced depressive symptoms to a level that matched or doubled the effects of general school-based programs, according to a new study. The clinical trial involving 532 high school students also showed that teens who played the game reported more positive attitudes toward seeking help. The findings suggest that the growing sector of behavioral health video games may be a highly effective tool for treating and preventing depression in adolescents.

This review explores how multi-source data-driven machine learning is transforming lung cancer care, from early screening and diagnosis to personalized treatment and prognosis. It examines imaging, multi-omics, liquid biopsy, pathology, and clinical data, alongside traditional and advanced machine learning approaches. By linking data characteristics with model selection and clinical applications, the review highlights opportunities for precision medicine while addressing challenges in data standardization, multimodal integration, interpretability, and effective clinical translation.
