MIT researchers developed a noninvasive way to identify senescent cells, which have stopped dividing, within aging tissue. The advance could help diagnose age-related disorders and guide researchers working on new treatments.

For the second time, Semmelweis University, with the support of Gedeon Richter Plc., has recognized outstanding health and science journalism from across Europe through the Semmelweis–Richter Journalism Award. Six entries received awards in the “Women’s Health” and “Pharmaceutical Strategies and Innovation” categories. The first prizes in the two categories were awarded to an international investigative project on abortion and an article about a technology that uses miniature bioengineered devices to mimic the functions of human organs. The competition received around 60 entries from nearly 20 countries. 

Catalytic Applications of Carbon Nitride-Based Nanomaterials presents a focused overview of the synthesis, properties and catalytic applications of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C₃N₄)-based nanomaterials in modern chemistry. With their structural versatility, chemical stability and tunable electronic properties, carbon nitride-based materials have attracted growing interest as catalysts for organic synthesis, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis and environmental applications.

From engineering calculations and mathematical analysis to system-level simulation, A Handbook on Engineering Computation and Modeling in MATLAB and Simulink, authored by Arif Iqbal, S. P. Singh, and Mohammed Aslam Husain, provides a practical introduction to computational methods and simulation for engineering applications.

The search for more selective, effective and targeted cancer therapies continues to drive innovation across medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical research. Heterocyclic Chemistry in Oncology: Promising Agents and Novel Approaches, edited by Smriti Dewangan, Anchal Verma and Varsha Rawat, explores the important role of heterocyclic compounds in modern anticancer drug discovery and development.

The book offers comprehensive coverage of essential ENT examination stations, taking readers through the ear, nose, oral cavity and oropharynx, larynx and neck. Each topic follows a structured, exam-oriented approach to history taking, physical examination, interpretation of findings and patient communication. Dedicated response stations further develop clinical reasoning and decision-making skills, helping learners approach unfamiliar clinical scenarios with greater confidence.

The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is pleased to announce its partnership with the Science and Technology Review Publishing House, the publishing house under the leadership of China Association for Science and Technology (CAST), to publish Research Future as a Science Partner Journal.
