Seeking an approach to address the increasing levels of methane and chlorinated hydrocarbons that threaten the environment, the authors worked to develop a novel, low-cost biotrickling filter for use as an ex situ method tailored to marine environments. By using methanotrophic bacteria in the filter, they observed methane degradation, suggesting the feasibility of chlorinated hydrocarbon degradation.

The authors looked at how vocabulary is impacted in Alzheimer's disease and whether it could be used a predictor of disease onset.

India’s Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI)—including the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and Aadhaar—has been globally recognized for advancing financial inclusion and efficient governance. This study analyzes data from 2016–17 to 2023–24 the impact of these services on India's GDP.

The authors assess a genetic variant within a well-known interaction partner of huntingtin that has been linked to modifying the age of onset of Huntington's disease.

Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel condition with symptoms like abdominal pain, fatigue, diarrhea, and malnutrition. Though there's no cure, various treatments help manage it. This study explored the potential impact of Massa Medicata Fermentata (MMF), a fermented Chinese herbal medicine containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae, on Crohn’s disease.

The authors looked at the ability to use audio clips to analyze the progression of Parkinson's disease.

The authors use known Parkinson's disease-associated genetic variants to compare the prevalence of sleep dysfunction between males and females diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder in the U.S., second only to Alzheimer’s disease. Current diagnostic methods are often inefficient and dependent on clinical exams. This study explored using machine and deep learning to enhance PD diagnosis by analyzing spiral drawings affected by hand tremors, a common PD symptom.

The authors compare neuroimaging datasets to identify potential new biomarkers for earlier detection of Alzheimer's disease.

The authors looked at survival of honey bees over the winter in regards to native and invasive plant availability. They found that native plants provided greater survivability and overall health compared to environments where there was an abundance of invasive plants.
