Why Land Use Matters for Africa's Heat Crisis
We have watched the heat change over my lifetime. It is not just hotter; it is a different kind of heat. People talk about it. They know something has shifted. But why? And what can we do about it? We wanted to understand what is happening to Africa and to find answers that could help people.
Comparison of transient elastography and shear wave elastography as a routine diagnostic method for assessing liver fibrosis in Indian participants with liver steatosis
Liver health is one of the biggest health challenges in India. Millions of people—often without any symptoms—have fatty liver disease. While fatty liver itself may sound harmless, it can gradually progress to liver scarring (fibrosis), liver failure, or even liver cancer if not detected in time.
Stem cells in organogenesis and regeneration
Stem cells drive organogenesis and regeneration by supplying specialized cells for development, tissue maintenance, and repair. This overview highlights major stem cell types, their sources, and key stages of organ formation governed by stem cell activity.
Toward a sustainable megalopolis by reconciling power system decarbonization and urban health resilience
Climate change is intensifying heatwaves, increasing outage risks and potentially deadly heat exposure when cooling is disrupted. Our study examines how decarbonization may amplify these risks and proposes a health-aware planning pathway to reduce heatwave-related excess deaths.
