This study investigates variations in the ice-flow speed of the Shirase Glacier ice tongue in East Antarctica from July 2018 to December 2021 using Sentinel-1 radar imagery. It identifies significant slowdown events linked to icebergs grounding on the seafloor, revealing that the ice tongue provides limited support to the grounding line, which has broader implications for understanding glacier dynamics and the potential consequences of ice loss in the context of climate change.

This research article presents a comprehensive review of the snow cover area, mass balance, glacial area loss, surface velocities, and the application of snowmelt runoff models in the Kashmir Himalayas and Upper Indus Basin. It finds that glaciers in these regions are experiencing significant ice loss and negative mass balance, with broader implications for water resources and ecosystems as climate change accelerates.

The article describes the development of a self-regulated multi-functional nano-modulator (siR/PIO@RP) that can intelligently navigate to the damaged blood-brain barrier and release therapeutic cargoes for synergetic Alzheimer's disease (AD) therapy. The nano-modulator is capable of reducing cerebral amyloid-β load, relieving neuroinflammation, and alleviating the dysfunction of the neurovascular unit, providing proof of concept that normalizing the neurovascular unit holds promise as a means of alleviating AD symptoms.

The article provides a comprehensive overview of the Keystone Symposia conference on Myeloid Cell Diversity, highlighting key presentations on topics such as phagocytosis of dead cells, neutrophil behavior, myeloid cell states, and the impact of lifestyle factors on myeloid cells in disease states. It also discusses the role of myeloid cells in Alzheimer's disease, specifically how their dissociation may mediate vascular dysfunction.
In this round up of 2024, we share the Special Collections published on the SDG Resource Centre throughout the year, featuring more than 800 research articles and book chapters made freely available to advance knowledge and accelerate the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
