Glycolipid metabolic disorders, linked to cardiovascular diseases and cancer, are a major global health challenge. Current single-disease treatments remain ​unsatisfied in reducing long-term risks. In 2024, Professor Jiao Guo along with global experts launched the "Global Initiative for Glycolipid Metabolic Health" to enhance prevention through scientific research, public education, and integrated management systems.

A new study suggests that traditional learning activities like making notes remain critical for students’ reading comprehension and retention, while also suggesting that large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot, could be a useful tool for helping students clarify, explore, and contextualise learning material.

A new study from researchers at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine has found that while some areas of forensic anthropology appear to have tacit agreement on standardized methods and citations, there are many areas where forensic anthropologists are divided and lack standardization. The researchers believe these areas of division and disagreement-for example, thoughts on the objectivity of practitioners and education and training requirements, demonstrate the need for a robust and enforceable standardization that applies to all forensic anthropologists.

A newly proposed framework outlines how China can develop a localized model of STEM education that aligns with national curriculum while preserving the core principles of STEM. This Chinese-style approach emphasizes engineering-based learning, hands-on practice, and digital empowerment, while integrating cultural values and national priorities. It recommends integrating AI across school curricula, developing local STEM programs, and expanding extracurricular opportunities to foster innovation within the Chinese educational context.

Overreliance on generative AI risks eroding new and future doctors’ critical thinking skills, while potentially reinforcing existing data bias and inequity, warns an editorial published in the online journal BMJ Evidence Based Medicine.
