From ship wakes to soft tissues: Exploring fluid and solid surface-wave physics

A new study by scientists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) shows that when a pressure disturbance moves across an ultrasoft elastic material, such as a gel or a biological tissue, it generates a V-shaped wake that's strikingly similar to the waves that travel behind a boat.

Expanding access to palliative care for patients with advanced liver disease

Advanced liver disease (ALD) occurs when significant scarring causes the liver to lose function. Patients with ALD often have serious health challenges but have limited access to palliative care that could improve their quality of life. A new multicenter trial led by Manisha Verma, MD, and Victor Navarro, MD, at Jefferson Einstein Philadelphia Hospital demonstrates a new approach that could potentially transform access to palliative care for patients with ALD and address a major care gap. The research is published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.

Newly identified RPN1 disease helps explain how protein damage can disrupt early brain development

Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute and an international team of collaborators have used a genetic sequencing technique called whole exome sequencing to discover a new rare genetic disease. In a paper appearing in Human Genetics and Genomics Advances, the researchers have published findings that identify the faulty mutated gene. By exploring the biochemical consequences of the mutation, the investigators also showed that this typo in the genetic code interferes with normal cellular function, as expected of an unknown congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG).
