Middle School Students Conduct Summer Science Experiments at USU STARS GEAR UP Biotechnology Camp - Utah State University

October 20, 2026 - 11:30 AM Eastern TimeLocation: Barnes & Thornburg, Fifth Floor Event Hall, 11 S. Meridian St., Indianapolis, IN 46204Time: 11:30AM - 1:00PM Biotechnology is becoming increasingly important to America’s economic and national security, creating new opportunities for companies across Indiana and the broader life sciences ecosystem. At this Lifeline Luncheon, leaders will introduce the VEDDER Biotechnology Accelerator and discuss how it is helping advance biotechnology and biodefense capabilities, strengthen collaboration, and create pathways for companies to engage. Panelists will explore what VEDDER means for organizations of all sizes, where opportunities for partnership and participation may exist, and how companies can position themselves to become part of this growing ecosystem. Whether your organization is already working in biotechnology or biodefense or is interested in exploring how its expertise and capabilities could contribute, this discussion will provide a practical look at VEDDER and how to get involved.

The China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) on Sunday released its weekly update on the Shenzhou-23 mission, reporting that the crew continued to conduct scientific research and platform maintenance aboard the Tiangong space station. Nearly five months into their mission, the three astronauts -- Zhu Yangzhu, Zhang Zhiyuan and Lai Ka-ying -- have steadily advanced space science and experiment tasks including experiments in microgravity physical science.

AbstractChronic pain (CP) affects more than 30% of the global population and is often accompanied by significant cognitive impairments. Although an increasing number of studies have focused on the pathological mechanisms associated with chronic pain-induced cognitive impairments, most have concentrated on the stage after the onset of cognitive impairments. Currently, the course by which chronic pain induces cognitive impairment has not been fully reported. Therefore, single-cell RNA sequencing were conducted in this study in order to map the mice hippocampus altas before and after cognitive impairments induced by spared nerve injury (SNI) on days 3, 7, 14, and 21. After quality control screening, 53852 out of 64207 cells from 11 samples were retained for subsequent analysis. The reliability of the sequencing data was verified through analysis of various evaluation indicators and sequencing alignment rates.
