Thirteen percent of U.S. children aged 3–17 have a diagnosed mental or behavioral health condition, and American youth suicide rates far exceed those of peer countries. But the popular story — a sudden, smartphone-driven collapse — doesn't fit five decades of data. This series examines where the crisis comes from, which interventions demonstrably help, and what we still need to learn.

Visual artists can consult a digital color wheel to test relationships between different shades. Audio engineers can alter soundwave frequencies to create complex tones and harmonies. But no digital tools exist that can predict how people will perceive the blend of scents wafting from a steaming cup of coffee or a freshly baked apple pie.

A University of Minnesota-led multi-institutional research team has discovered a highly potent small molecule that blocks Ebola virus entry by stabilizing the virus's entry protein and provides strong protection when given orally in a preclinical model.

As more individuals with cerebral palsy live well into adulthood, medical professionals are taking a closer look at the unique long-term healthcare needs of this patient population. While adults with cerebral palsy require the same routine health maintenance as anyone else, a large, national study conducted at Yale showed that women living with cerebral palsy received significantly less preventati

Being able to speak a mother tongue when living in Diaspora allows the strengthening of social bonds among immigrant communities as well as the maintenance of strong cultural identities. But what happens to the language when the younger generations do not speak it? How do they connect with their parents and communities? A new article by SIS Professor Claudine Kuradusenge-McLeod explores the impact

In addition to being professor at UTHealth Houston School of Public Health, Jack Tsai, PhD, is the founding editor-in-chief of an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing the latest mental health research, whic has earned an impact factor score of 9.1 this year.
Life expectancy is rising more rapidly in Africa than in any other continent globally. A new University of Bristol-led study, published in The Lancet Regional Health - Africa, has shown that the age at which people are diagnosed with tuberculosis in Zimbabwe increased by approximately 12 years over a 24-year period. The findings highlight the need to adapt tuberculosis services to an ageing population.

An international study of more than a million people has substantially advanced our understanding of how genetic differences contribute to our personalities. The findings, published in Nature, could help scientists understand why certain personality traits are linked to differences in health, wellbeing and life outcomes.

Coagulation factor XIa (FXIa) is a key protease in the intrinsic coagulation pathway. It plays a central role in pathological thrombosis and has little impact on the normal hemostasis process. It is a safe target for the development of a new generation of anticoagulant drugs.
Liver fibrosis is a common pathological pathway in most chronic liver diseases, and its essence is the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix in the liver. Macrophages play a central regulatory role in the occurrence and regression of liver fibrosis, but their functional selection mechanism between promoting scar formation and driving scar regression has long been unresolved.
Water isotope separation and identification are key technologies in the fields of medicine, chemistry and life sciences. The molecular size and macroscopic physical and chemical properties of water (H 2 O) and heavy water (D 2 O) are highly similar, and their equilibrium adsorption differences in porous media are limited. It is difficult to determine the cause of isotope differences based on the final adsorption amount alone. Therefore, constructing a thin film with oriented narrow channels, moderate frame flexibility, and proton-electron coupling conduction, and collaboratively analyzing the multi-stage transmission process through mass and electrical signals is the key to realizing real-time identification of the confinement behavior of water isotopes.
