This study examined whether Rubik’s Cube solving ability is related to spatial visualization skills and stress levels.

Content warning: This article extensively discusses the causes and impacts of adverse childhood experiences, trauma, abuse, neglect, depression, and mental health disorders. Violence, self-harm, substance use, and incarceration are also mentioned.

The study examined whether high school boys’ water polo teams located near strong programs had similar season performances during the 2024–2025 season.

The authors examine the factors that impact a ballet master's career.

Galaxy clusters offer several advantages for measuring H₀ compared to traditional methods, such as Cepheid variables or Type Ia supernovae. Unlike individual stars or supernovae, clusters are less affected by local variations in stellar population or interstellar medium properties, providing a more stable and consistent measure over large cosmological distances. This work proposes using galaxy clusters as an alternative method for determining the H₀. It provides an independent perspective on the H₀ debate and contribute to ongoing efforts to reconcile the differing values obtained from the other two measurements.

This study used multi-omic analysis to investigate gene expression and DNA methylation patterns associated with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). The researchers found significant downregulation of mitochondrial and energy-related pathways, highlighting mitochondrial dysfunction—particularly altered PINK1 expression—as a potential contributor and therapeutic target in HCM.

This study used single-cell RNA sequencing to examine whether B cells can predict response to pembrolizumab and radiation therapy in patients with triple-negative breast cancer.

Physics‑Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) offer a promising way to estimate blood‑flow behavior in arteries, especially near the vessel wall where traditional methods struggle. In this study, students tested how sensor density and placement affect PINN accuracy in modeling carotid artery flow and found that accuracy improves up to a moderate sensor density and depends strongly on how close sensors are placed to the arterial wall. Applying the optimized configuration to a patient‑specific carotid model produced velocity predictions closely matching computational fluid dynamics results, highlighting PINNs’ potential for future personalized cardiovascular assessment.

This study explores global trends in average total cholesterol levels among adults from 1980 to 2018, finding a significant decline in both men and women, with a sharper decrease among men. While these improvements likely reflect advances in public health and medical treatment, the persistent gender gap highlights the need for more targeted approaches to cardiovascular disease prevention.

This project investigated whether previously identified genetic risk factors in non-Korean populations were associated with high gastric cancer incidence rates in Koreans.
