Study Reveals Structural Roughness as Key Factor in Tumor Detachment Dynamics

In 2024, malignant tumors caused more than 21,300 deaths in Austria, 4.7% more than in 2014. Faced with a similarly pressing global challenge, scientists are striving to better understand what drives cancer cells to grow, spread, and invade healthy tissue.

Multi-Omic Integration Reveals Novel Gene-Disease Links in Undiagnosed Rare Conditions

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London, the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité (BIH) and Genomics England have shown that measuring proteins in the blood can provide important additional clues about the effects of genetic variants, helping to identify diagnoses and potential new disease-causing genes that genome sequencing alone has been unable to resolve.

Advanced Gene Editing Provides Essential Tool for Studying Early Human Embryonic Development

A study by researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons has found that new cutting-edge techniques can accurately edit genes in human embryos-giving scientists indispensable tools for understanding normal human development-but has also uncovered important risks that currently preclude the use of the techniques in the clinic.

Computational Chemistry Breakthrough Yields Targeted Molecule for Acute Myeloid Leukemia Treatment

Pushing the accelerator and the brake at the same time is rarely a good idea. But researchers at the University of Gothenburg are using this approach to treat leukemia.

UCLA Breakthrough Generates Thousands of Allogeneic T-Cell Doses From Single Cord Blood Sample

T cell receptor, or TCR, therapy is a cancer treatment that genetically reprograms immune cells, called T cells, to hunt down cancer with precision.

Advanced RNA Sequencing Separates Rare Regenerative Cells From Mature Tissue

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Hospital for Special Surgery have discovered the unspecialized stem cells that give rise to the body's tendons and ligaments, the tissues connecting muscles and bones.

Macrophages Function as Trash Collectors for Energy-Demanding Tissues

The body's heart muscle (for pumping blood), skeletal muscle (for movement and posture), and brown fat (for heat production), each require a lot of energy and make a lot of waste. And that waste needs to be managed.

Scientists Build a Genetic Score for Alzheimer’s Disease that Works Across Ancestries

Researchers developed a multi-ancestry genetic risk score for Alzheimer's, correlating genetic factors with cognitive performance and brain health markers.

Research Maps Complex Molecular Rules Governing Specialized Tumor Immunity

For decades, natural killer (NK) cells have been classified into two main groups based on surface markers: one specialized for cytokine production and the other for direct killing.

Fruit Fly Egg Chambers Reveal Secrets of Collective Cell Movement

Scientists have long wondered how cells that are organized into sheets begin to move together to form organs, especially when the sheets form closed, sphere-like surfaces and tissues with no edges to direct motion.

Optical Metabolic Imaging Profiles Single-Cell Metabolic Fitness in Blood Without Dye Labeling

A routine blood sample contains a diverse collection of immune cells that can reveal important clues about health and disease. These cells, known as peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), are widely used to study infections, autoimmune disorders, cancer, and the immune system's response to treatment.

Study Reveals How Fungal Enzymes and Clotting Proteins Clog Human Airways

Asthma affects more than 300 million people worldwide, and while many can control their symptoms with inhaled steroid medications, about 10% develop a more severe form that does not respond well to these treatments. This steroid-resistant asthma is one of the most difficult forms of the disease to manage.

Study Shows How Arginine Rich Proteins Fool Immune Reactions to Medical Implants

Proteins with exposed arginine can selectively accumulate even on protein-resistant coatings, as reported by researchers from Science Tokyo.

Scientists Map Single Cell Heterogeneity in Standard Clinical Blood Samples

When a patient is facing certain cancers or an immune condition, clinicians turn to their white blood cells for clues about the progression of both diseases and their treatments.

2 Sep 2026

New Mechanism Explains How Red Blood Cell Breakdown Drives Inflammation

When red blood cells break down, they release heme, a component of hemoglobin, that can contribute to inflammation and damage tissues and blood vessels.

Gut Tethering Explains Right-Handed Coils in Growing Snake Embryos

An international team led by Canadian researchers has found evidence for why snake embryos form a curious spiral. This ability to coil in the embryo is why snakes are able to hatch with the longest body of all vertebrate animals.

Moving Beyond DNA Sequencing Unlocks New Paths Managing Human Health

Scientists from Gladstone Institutes, UC San Francisco, and Stanford University, in collaboration with Biohub, have unveiled a massive, high-resolution functional map of human immune cells that promises to transform our understanding of how genetics control health and disease.
