New Evolutionary Theory Uses Bacteriophages to Overcome Antimicrobial Resistant Infections

A new perspective article in Biocontaminant proposes a three-part evolutionary framework for using bacteriophages to better control antimicrobial resistance.

Research Links Evolved Long Noncoding RNAs to Cancer Growth

In cancer research, one person's junk is increasingly becoming another person's treasure. Scientists have now uncovered new evidence showing how recently evolved "junk DNA" genetic elements can become integrated into ancient cellular pathways that regulate cancer.

Stem T Cells Replenish the Immune System During Chronic Infections and Diseases

T cells are an elite fighting force of the immune system, seeking out and destroying diseased cells. But in a prolonged campaign against a chronic condition - like a viral infection, or cancer - the body needs a steady supply of these killer troops. Where and how these killer troops are generated has been a mystery.

Cancer Cells Hijack Macrophage Metabolism to Create an Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are among the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. However, instead of attacking cancer cells, they are typically co-opted to support tumor growth, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance.

High Stomach Regeneration Rates Can Trigger Tumor Development

Few areas of the body face more daily stress and potential damage than the stomach, which must manage everything we swallow. Along with this constant strain, the stomach also produces acid that can damage its own lining and increase the risk of ulcers.

The Simple Way to Help Protect Your Dog’s Stomach Before a Kennel Stay

Dog owners preparing for summer holidays are being urged to think about their pet’s food routine before a kennel stay, as search data shows rising demand for boarding options ahead of the busy June and July travel period.

Melatonin Enhances Random Skin Flap Viability by Suppressing Ferroptosis

Random-pattern skin flaps are widely used to repair defects caused by trauma, burns, tumor removal, and other injuries because they can be designed without depending on a single named blood vessel.

Single Nucleus RNA Sequencing Decodes Tomato Plant Early Stage Development

Seedling emergence is one of the most vulnerable stages in plant life. In darkness, seedlings undergo skotomorphogenesis, forming elongated hypocotyls and curved apical hooks that protect the shoot tip as it pushes through soil.

Salk Institute Decodes Molecular Timeline of Age-Related Neurodegeneration

Neurodegenerative diseases affect tens of millions of people worldwide.

New Karyoptosis Mechanism Linked to Alzheimer's and Frontotemporal Dementia

Markers of a new mechanism for cell death, called karyoptosis, have been found in brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Southern Medical University Uncovers Crucial Protein Linked to Lung Fibrosis

A study published recently in Current Molecular Pharmacology has uncovered a key mechanism linking aging to persistent pulmonary fibrosis, identifying the transcriptional regulator fPRDM16 as a potential therapeutic target.

Antibiotics Trigger Accelerated Protein Sharing Among Genetically Identical Bacterial Populations

When bacteria are under antibiotic attack, it is not 'every man for himself.' Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and colleagues from collaborating institutions have discovered that bacterial populations work as a team to survive antibiotics.

First Global Assessment of Marine Ecosystems During a Year When Warming Exceeded 1.5 °C

Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have led one of the first global assessments of how marine ecosystems responded during the first year when global temperatures temporarily exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

New Evolutionary Framework Views Psychedelic Compounds as Crucial Ecological Tools

Natural hallucinogens, such as psilocybin, mescaline, N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), and related compounds, have generally received attention for their effects on human perception, emotion, and cognition.

Study Reveals How Arsenic Pollution Alters Bacterial Metabolism and Detoxification

As arsenic levels increased, bacterial richness and diversity declined, while arsenic-tolerant groups such as Proteobacteria became more abundant. The study also found that bacteria strengthened stress-response pathways, including signal transduction and cell motility, and upregulated arsenic-resistance genes such as arsC2 and arsB.

New Genetic Discovery Explains Why Colorectal Cancer Spreads so Quickly

Loss of GATA6-a transcription factor that controls which genes are turned on or off-can reprogram colorectal cancer cells into more primitive, adaptable states that can then spread to the liver and establish new tumors, according to Weill Cornell Medicine and Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers.

Scripps Research Identifies Erucamide Molecule as Shield Against Blindness

Many conditions that cause vision loss share a common feature: the gradual breakdown of the retina, the light-sensing tissue at the back of the eye.
