SwRI, Trinity University to synthesize novel compound to mitigate effects of stroke, heart attack

Southwest Research Institute
Business Announcement

SAN ANTONIO — December 10, 2025 — Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and Trinity University will improve a prodrug, a compound activated in the body, to mitigate tissue and organ damage associated with heart attacks, strokes and traumatic injuries. These conditions cause a lack of blood flow, but treatment to reverse blockages can also lead to lasting damage.

From dots to lines: new database catalogs human gene types using ’ACTG’ rules

Kyushu University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Kyushu University researchers have created a novel “ACTG” naming system for human gene types, and launched the Joint Open Genome and Omics Platform 1.0 (JoGo 1.0), a global database cataloging 4.7 million gene types from more than 19,000 genes. Integrated with other public resources, the platform establishes a universal language for human gene types, empowering applications in fields such as disease research, drug development, and evolutionary biology.

New book examines how educational reforms have attempted to fix past problems instead of inventing the future

University of Kansas
Book Announcement

In his new book "Fix the Past or Invent the Future: Moving Beyond One-Size-Fits-All Education" education scholar Yong Zhao outlines how decades of reform efforts and millions in investments have not notably improved American education. The problem is trying to fix things in one way for everyone, and the time has come to focus on crafting an individualized approach to education that empowers students and teachers to solve problems they care about, as each has the power and the technology to do so, Zhao writes.

Advances in nano-phases reinforced titanium matrix composites: Interfacial engineering and configuration strategy

Higher Education Press
Peer-Reviewed Publication

This review addresses the critical dilemma of balancing strength and ductility in titanium matrix composites (TMCs) by emphasizing the addition of nano-phases. It systematically highlights interfacial engineering and configuration strategy to mitigate interfacial lattice mismatch and agglomeration behavior, offering a roadmap for optimizing mechanical properties. Finally, this review proposes the underlying challenges, development trends and future applications of next-generation TMCs.
