Mashup Score: 1A fragment of human brain, mapped - 2 hour(s) ago
A Harvard team led by Jeff Lichtman has co-created with Google researchers the largest synaptic-resolution, 3D reconstruction of a piece of human brain to date, showing in vivid detail each cell and its web of neural connections in a piece of human temporal cortex about half the size of a rice grain.

Mashup Score: 10Saturated soils could impact survival of young trees planted to address climate change - 3 day(s) ago
New research by the University of Plymouth has looked into the potential effects of increased rainfall in regions being earmarked for expansion of temperate rainforests. Amid global calls for more trees to be planted as part of efforts to combat climate change, it is the first study to highlight the importance of factoring in soil conditions when looking at where and how to create the temperate rainforests of the future

A research team using the ChemCam instrument onboard NASA’s Curiosity rover discovered higher-than-usual amounts of manganese in lakebed rocks within Gale Crater on Mars, which indicates that the sediments were formed in a river, delta, or near the shoreline of an ancient lake. The results were published today in Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets.A research team using the ChemCam instrument onboard NASA’s Curiosity rover discovered higher-than-usual amounts of manganese in lakebed rocks within Gale Crater on Mars, which indicates that the sediments were formed in a river, delta, or near the shoreline of an ancient lake.

Mashup Score: 14Sea slugs inspire highly stretchable biomedical sensor - 7 day(s) ago
USC researcher Hangbo Zhao has published a series of papers on stretchable sensors for biomedical purposes. His most recent paper, selected as the cover story for the prestigious journal Science Advances, presents new research that will directly enable the development of “soft” and more flexible microneedles.

The global demand for palm oil—the most widely consumed vegetable oil on the planet, in everything from instant noodles to lipstick—is driving worldwide tropical deforestation. While many studies have shown the loss of biodiversity when rainforests are converted to oil palm plantations, researchers at the University of Massachusetts of Amherst are the first to show far-reaching and wide-ranging disturbances to the watersheds in which such plantations occur. Because many Indigenous peoples rely on water downstream from the plantations for their daily needs, the marked decrease in water quality has the potential to exacerbate public health issues in Indigenous communities. The study was published recently in Science of the Total Environment.

Mashup Score: 14Dietary changes may treat pulmonary hypertension - 9 day(s) ago
Hypertensive pulmonary blood vessels’ appetite for glutamine and serine and the resulting elevated levels of proline and glycine in hypertensive pulmonary blood vessel cells drive the overproduction of collagen, which leads to vessel stiffening and impaired function—the hallmark feature of pulmonary hypertension.

Mashup Score: 24New strategy could lead to universal, long-lasting flu shot - 10 day(s) ago
An experimental influenza vaccine carrying more than 80,000 variations of hemagglutinin antigens caused the immune system of mice and ferrets to respond more strongly to less variable portions of the virus. This is a big step forward in efforts at the Duke Human Vaccine Institute to develop a universal, long-lasting flu shot.
