When a blockbuster album drops, streaming numbers may not be the only thing that spikes.

The SARS-CoV-2 genome is subject to constant mutations. Some of these mutations reduce the effectiveness of RNA-based vaccines, which consequently have to be adapted regularly. Until now, however, it was unclear how the immune ...

One of the major challenges in glioma surgery is that tumor boundaries are often difficult to define. Diffuse gliomas can infiltrate surrounding brain tissue beyond what surgeons can see directly or what conventional imaging ...

Wearable sensors coupled with AI can generate blood pressure readings nearly as accurately as the invasive and risky arterial lines relied on in intensive care units and operating rooms, new work by Johns Hopkins University ...

Exposure to common forms of outdoor air pollution may be linked to structural changes in brain regions that are especially vulnerable to Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study led by researchers from the USC Mark and ...

Beginning in the late 1990s, air pollution declined in New York City following the implementation of clean air and climate policies. According to new research by scientists at Columbia University Mailman School of Public ...
