Deconvolution of Inflammation During Infection-Associated Mortality

The elderly and those with chronic diseases demonstrate a two to ten-fold increased risk of hospitalization and elevated mortality in the setting of multiple types of infections, including SARS-CoV-2, influenza, and pneumonia.

Simulations to Study the Properties of Carbon Nanotubes

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), which are a form of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure, are an order of magnitude stronger than any other current engineering fiber.

ReaLSAT, A New Dataset of Reservoir and Lake Changes

The condition of lakes and reservoirs is of great interest to researchers, because these bodies of water show the effects of climate change and human activities.

Splenic Ultrasound to Treat Rheumatoid Arthritis

Splenic ultrasound (SUS) is an emerging noninvasive immunomodulatory therapy in which ultrasound at diagnostic intensities is applied to the spleen, causing a reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokine production through activation of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway.

The Gut Mycobiome in Primates

Researchers are continuing to learn about how the microbiome of the gut affects health.
