Two Virginia high school students have discovered how sea anemones respond to salinity changes caused by hurricane rainfall. As hurricanes worsen due to climate change, this important information could help conservation efforts and inspire advocacy efforts. The research was shared in a paper published in Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research on October 7.

Gene therapy—the process of modifying, replacing, or regulating genes to treat disease—has emerged as one of the most transformative innovations in modern medicine. While ex vivo strategies, such as engineered immune or hematopoietic cells, have achieved clinical success, the next frontier lies in in vivo gene therapy—directly delivering therapeutic genetic material into target tissues within the body.

A comprehensive narrative review published in Translational Exercise Biomedicine, (ISSN: 2942-6812), an official partner journal of International Federation of Sports Medicine (FIMS), sheds new light on the critical role of lipid droplets in human health and disease, and how exercise serves as a powerful modulator of their dynamics. The article, entitled “The impact of exercise on the role of lipid droplets in maintaining health: a narrative review” synthesizes current evidence on how these once-underestimated organelles contribute to various pathologies and how physical activity can counteract their detrimental effects.
