Spatial transcriptomics techniques, which map gene activity in intact tissues, often face challenges in accurately identifying distinct tissue regions. Now, researchers from Japan have developed STAIG, a deep-learning framework that integrates gene expression, spatial data, and histological images to identify tissue regions with high accuracy. The proposed framework holds much promise for understanding the complexities of cancer development, brain function, and how our bodies are constructed.

Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin has reduced the annual CO₂ emissions originating from gases used for anesthesia by over 80 percent since 2018. This reduction in carbon emissions was achieved by using climate-friendlier anesthetics in the operating room. As a study published in the journal Anesthesia & Analgesia* demonstrates, education and, in particular, fundamental decisions were the keys to success.

POSTECH Research Team Develops Ultra-Photostable Organic Fluorescent Molecule (PF555) to Unveil the Secrets of Intracellular Proteins.

With a $2.7 million award from the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Nursing Research that is one of the largest ever for the West Virginia University School of Nursing, three faculty researchers aim to support families while increasing access to care in the rural reaches of the Mountain State by testing an integrated, nurse-led intervention for family home care management of end-stage heart failure and palliative care.

Education experts at the University of South Australia are encouraging schools to consider problem-based learning (PBL) in a move to improve engagement and creativity among high school students. New UniSA research demonstrates how hands-on, community-based projects can deliver successful learning outcomes for disengaged students.

In a survey study of 200 U.K. teachers, 76 percent of secondary school teachers and 60 percent of primary school teachers expressed extreme concern about the influence of online misogyny on their students. Harriet Over of the University of York, U.K., and colleagues present these findings in the open-access journal PLOS One on February 26, 2025.

Aerospace engineering senior Philip Wilson attended an American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) conference. Rohit Raut, a senior physics major, presented his work at a nuclear research symposium, and senior biology major Jaden Rankin had the opportunity to feature her research at an entomology conference. These and other University of Texas at Arlington students were able to showcase their original research at major symposiums thanks to UTA’s expansion of its popular undergraduate research program that provides funding for select students to present at academic conferences.
