Researchers in a Rutgers-led study find that titanium particles shed by corroding implants paralyze the immune system.
Findings from a Rutgers-led study suggest air-quality readings may miss hazardous chemicals from fires burning homes, cars and infrastructure.
The fellowship recognizes promising early-career scientists and supports research aimed at advancing new therapeutic strategies.
Scientists from Rutgers Health and other leading research institutions say many studies failed to ensure participants had the condition being investigated.
Researchers at Rutgers University-New Brunswick are working to measure pain more accurately beyond the single, subjective question patients are often asked: “On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad is your pain?”
A Rutgers-led study offers a hopeful twist on a classic game theory problem. Scientists have long used this idea to understand everything from microbes sharing resources to human societies negotiating peace. The takeaway message? In the evolutionary race, cheaters win. A new study led by Rutgers physicist Alexandre Morozov turns that assumption upside down. His research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows that cooperation can emerge naturally without special rules or genetic ties.
For eight Rutgers students, the George Washington University Planet Forward Environmental Storyfest in April was more than a conference. It was an opportunity to show how science storytelling can transform complex research into deeply human stories that connect with audiences far beyond the laboratory. Representing the university at one of the nation’s leading gatherings for environmental communicators, the students presented Research to Reel: Science Stories in Action, a dynamic showcase of documentary filmmaking, immersive learning and collaborative science communication.
Rutgers researchers find many hospitals use tracking pixels that risk data breaches by transmitting visitor data to outside companies.
The descendants of a founder of Johnson & Johnson have endowed a postdoctoral fellowship in aging neuroscience research based at the Rutgers Aging & Brain Health Alliance lab (Rutgers-Newark), which focuses on the early detection and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease in African Americans, who are more than twice as likely to develop the disease yet remain underrepresented in clinical studies.
