Older brains cope better with lack of sleep, says SFU study
Simon Fraser UniversityIn news that will delight baby boomers worldwide, a new Simon Fraser University study suggests that brains in healthy older adults may cope better with a lack of sleep than younger adults.
The findings indicate that when faced with a loss of sleep, older brains are able to adapt and actually respond in an entirely different way compared to younger brains.

BAP31 protects against acute lung injury by suppressing ferroptosis via the AKT/GSK3β/Nrf2 pathway
Chinese Medical Journals Publishing House Co., Ltd.A study published in Chinese Medical Journal demonstrates that BAP31 expression is significantly reduced in lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury (ALI). Overexpression of BAP31 alleviates lung injury, inflammation, and oxidative stress by inhibiting ferroptosis. Mechanistically, BAP31 activates the AKT/GSK3β pathway, promoting nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and upregulating GPX4 and HO-1. These findings suggest BAP31 as a promising therapeutic target for ALI/ARDS.

One CRISPR array supplies guide RNAs to two CRISPR–Cas subtypes
Higher Education Press
CRISPR–Cas systems protect bacteria and archaea against invading genetic elements by using CRISPR RNAs, or crRNAs, to guide Cas proteins to matching foreign DNA. Many organisms encode more than one CRISPR–Cas subtype, but it remains unclear how different subtypes coordinate their use of CRISPR arrays and guide RNAs within the same cell.

Advancing artificial intelligence in myopia management: from predicting progression to supporting clinical decisions
International Society for Health Data ScienceAI is shifting myopia care from risk prediction to clinical decision support.
Multimodal models improve prediction of myopia onset and progression.
AI enables individualized response prediction across major myopia treatments.
Clinical translation is limited by heterogeneity, opacity, cost, and bias.
Patient-centered AI may support lifelong precision management of myopia.

Healthcare discrimination may silence diabetes conversations among Black men
Texas A&M UniversityBlack and African American adults are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes at higher rates than non-Hispanic white adults and face higher rates of serious complications. Dr. Tyler Prochnow, associate professor in the School of Public Health, said understanding what happens after diagnosis is an important part of addressing those disparities.
In two related studies drawing on a national survey of 1,225 Black and African American men with Type 2 diabetes, Prochnow and his colleagues examined how social networks relate to diabetes outcomes and how experiences of discrimination are associated with communication, mental health and self-care. The studies were published in the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities and Social Science & Medicine.
The findings suggest that diabetes-specific conversations are strongly associated with self-care behaviors, but men reporting more healthcare discrimination also reported talking less about their diabetes, despite communicating more frequently with people in their social networks overall.

Single-shot dynamic 3D shape measurement via triangular-wave spatial multiplexing and transformer-based phase retrieval
Advanced Devices & Instrumentation3D shape measurement captures surface geometry to support industrial dimensional inspection, robotic vision, digital modeling, and dynamic-process analysis. As measurement tasks extend from static surfaces to continuously moving or rapidly deforming objects, maintaining reconstruction accuracy while shortening acquisition time has become an important challenge in optical 3D metrology. Fringe projection profilometry (FPP) encodes surface-height information into the phase of projected fringe patterns and enables non-contact, full-field 3D reconstruction through system calibration. Conventional high-accuracy approaches, however, generally require multiple phase-shifted and auxiliary coding images. Object motion during acquisition can disrupt inter-frame correspondence, introducing phase errors and reconstruction artifacts. Single-shot measurement avoids combining coding images acquired at different times, offering an important route to dynamic shape acquisition. It nevertheless requires both accurate phase demodulation and reliable phase unwrapping from the same fringe image. Jointly designing structured-light encoding and phase retrieval to achieve high measurement accuracy and reliable fringe-order determination within a single exposure is therefore central to advancing single-shot dynamic 3D metrology.
