Recent experimental research has highlighted that muscle metabolic activity may be pivotal in the remarkable longevity of Greenland sharks (Somniosus microcephalus), the world’s longest-living vertebrate species. These insights could inform conservation strategies for this vulnerable species amidst climate change and offer novel perspectives on human cardiovascular health.

For over a decade, Ofer Levy, MD, PhD, and David Dowling, PhD, at Boston Children’s Hospital's Precision Vaccines Program, have been working to improve vaccine efficacy with the help of adjuvants. These compounds enhance immune responses, aiming to make vaccines more effective, especially for the very young and the elderly.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have found that a molecule previously identified in cancer research plays a critical role in the immune response to COVID-19. The molecule, PI3K gamma, facilitates the entry of inflammatory myeloid cells into lung tissue infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19. This infiltration often leads to severe organ damage.

A new study finds that a doubling of the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere could cause an increase in the average temperature of earth from 7 to as much as 14 degrees. These findings, published in Nature Communications, represent a temperature rise that is much larger than previously estimated.
