The discovery of an unknown organelle inside our cells could open the door to new treatments for devastating inherited diseases. 

Physical activity is widely recognized as an important aspect of a healthy lifestyle, but a new study from the University of Georgia has found an additional benefit — staving off cognitive decline.

In this April 2025 issue of Translational Lung Cancer Research, a pioneering study, led by Professor Shuben Li from the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, revisits a classic but unresolved question in airway surgery: Should tracheobronchial anastomoses be routinely wrapped following resection and reconstruction?

The article, titled "Tracheobronchial resection and reconstruction: to wrap or not to wrap the anastomosis?"，presents a single-center experience to explore the relationship between wrapping the anastomosis after airway reconstruction and short-term surgical outcomes, and to investigate whether wrapping the anastomosis can reduce the incidence of postoperative adverse events.

Brightly colored inexpensive and disposable electronic cigarettes and vapes continue to gain popularity. These devices turn flavored nicotine-containing liquid into a vapor that people inhale over hundreds or thousands of puffs — commonly called vaping. Researchers report in ACS Central Science that after a few hundred puffs, some disposable vaping devices released higher amounts of metals and metalloids than older refillable e-cigarettes and traditional cigarettes, thereby raising a user’s risk of health problems.
