Research from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) nearly half of childhood leukaemia survivors experience symptoms of anxiety or depression as adults. Associate Professor of Paediatric Oncology at NTNU, Magnus Aasved Hjort, believes that people who survive childhood cancer should receive far better support as adults.

A research team led by Kyushu University have developed a new water-soluble and metal-free molecule that could be detected by both fluorescence imaging and utilized as an MRI contrast agent. The team modified the luminescent organic radical tris(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) methyl (TTM) to make it water-soluble. The new molecule produced deep-red fluorescence in water and enhanced the contrast of MRI phantom images by approximately 2.5 to 4.5 times stronger than that of previously reported water-soluble TTM radicals.

Development of a compact current comparator capable of evaluating both AC and DC current ratios using the same setup

Using an integrated New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) framework combining bioinformatics, 3D modeling, machine learning, and in vitro assays, this study analyzed 107 ecological factors and estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) diversity across 169 mammalian species. Key discoveries include an expanded ligand-binding pocket in omnivores, a cetacean-specific substitution, and brain-to-body mass ratio as a sensitivity predictor. These findings provide essential molecular mechanisms for predicting wildlife chemical sensitivity.

A tiny device that can be reprogrammed using a laser could lead to adaptable devices for computing, imaging and telecommunications.

A new AI tool can identify aging patterns in blood stem cells by analyzing DAPI-stained nuclear images and chromatin architecture. It may accelerate the discovery and testing of cellular rejuvenation strategies.
