- 1Zhen Xu Receives Golden Goose Award from AAAS▼Zhen Xu Receives Golden Goose Award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science
Zhen Xu, a researcher at the University of Michigan's Department of Biomedical Engineering, has received the Golden Goose Award from the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The award honors scientists whose federally funded research, initially seen as obscure, has led to major breakthroughs with significant real-world impact.
- 2Pennington Biomedical scientist wins $2 million NIH brain research grant●Pennington Biomedical’s Dr. Chris Morrison awarded up to $2 million NIH grant to study how the brain detects dietary protein restriction
Dr. Chris Morrison of Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge has been awarded a grant of up to $2 million from the National Institutes of Health. The funding will support research into how the brain detects dietary protein restriction, work that could shed light on appetite regulation and the health effects of low-protein diets. The award was announced via a science news release.
- 3New Study Maps Human Meningeal Development in Detail▼Spatially resolved multiomics of human meningeal development reveal lineage and disease dynamics
Researchers publishing in Nature have used spatially resolved multiomics to map how the human meninges, the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, develop. The work traces cell lineages during development and links them to disease dynamics, offering a reference for understanding neurological disorders tied to meningeal biology. It is being discussed among researchers following developmental biology and single-cell genomics.
