A research team developed a satellite-based method to analyze the life cycle of ocean eddies forming along Arctic sea-ice edges. 

In this study, researchers developed a regional modeling framework to characterize and quantify how forests in the northeastern United States may respond to ongoing environmental change by the mid-21st century, with particular emphasis on the complex interactions occurring in urbanized landscapes.

An international team of researchers, including physicists from HSE MIEM, has demonstrated that nonmagnetic impurities can help more accurately reveal Majorana zero modes—quantum states considered promising building blocks for quantum computing. The researchers found that these impurities shift the energy levels that typically obscure the Majorana signal, while leaving the mode itself largely unaffected, thereby making its spectral peak more distinct. The study has been published in Research.

Recently, teams led by Prof. Yiming Zhang from Xinqiao Hospital, Army Medical University,Prof. Fazhi Qi from Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, and Prof. Junli Zhou from the Tenth Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University (Dongguan People’s Hospital), focused on the regulatory mechanisms of macrophage function in radiation-induced skin injury and systematically elucidated the critical role of TREM2 in maintaining macrophage survival and promoting skin repair under radiation stress. The study demonstrated that irradiation activates the ROS–NRF2–ADAM17 axis, which mediates TREM2 shedding, leading to increased macrophage apoptosis and impaired reparative function. In contrast, supplementation with TREM2⁺ macrophages markedly attenuated inflammatory responses and accelerated wound healing. These findings were published in Research under the title “TREM2 Deficiency Regulates Macrophage Apoptosis and Repair in Radiation-Induced Skin Injury.”
