A ground-breaking sustainability project championed by leading open science publisher, Frontiers, has been designated a Pilot Science Mission for Sustainability at the International Science Council’s (ISC) Muscat Global Knowledge Dialogue today (27 January).

A new study presented at the 61st annual meeting of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) reveals that young patients who have undergone the Ross procedure for aortic valve disease have shown excellent long-term survival, the majority without the need for additional surgery two decades later.

At the 2025 Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Annual Meeting, researchers presented risk-adjusted findings that shed new light on treatments for severe emphysema.

New research presented at the 2025 Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Annual Meeting reveals that anatomic lung resections, such as lobectomy and segmentectomy, are associated with improved long-term survival compared to wedge resection for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

A study presented this week at The Society of Thoracic Surgeons’ 61st Annual Meeting explores findings in more than a million U.S. Medicare beneficiaries who underwent CABG from 2001 to 2019. The researchers found that patients who received multi-arterial grafting (MAG) had improved survival over those who received single-arterial grafting (SAG), supporting findings from prior retrospective studies.

As Frontiers’ CEO, Kamila Markram set out ambitions for an Open Science Charter to make climate change research freely available worldwide, Ambassador Guilherme de Aguiar Patriota confirmed President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s “personal decision” to host COP30 in Belém at the COP 30 in the Amazon: Shaping Our Planetary Future event on 23 January at the World Economic Forum’s 2025 Annual Meeting.

The Cardiovascular Research Foundation^® (CRF^®) is pleased to announce that registration for the second New York Valves: The Structural Heart Summit is now open. Following the outstanding success of last year’s inaugural conference, New York Valves 2025 is the world’s premier structural heart meeting and continues its mission to shape the future of structural heart care through collaboration, education, and innovation. The summit will take place June 25-27, 2025, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, North in New York City.

Press registration is now open for the spring meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS).
