T Cells Identify Dangerous Pathogenic Threats to Keep Bodies Healthy

Your body depends on T cells to stay healthy. These white blood cells act like a neighborhood watch in the body, helping the immune system spot threats such as viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells.

Uncovering New Pathological Pathways Behind Sepsis Triggered Circulatory Failure Risks

Sepsis triggers widespread inflammation, circulatory failure and metabolic stress, and cardiac dysfunction is a common complication associated with sharply poorer outcomes.

Structure-Guided Protein Engineering Unlocks Safer Methods for Gene Therapy

A joint research team led by Professor Daesik Kim (Department of Medicine, Sungkyunkwan University), along with Professor Yong-Sub Kim (University of Ulsan College of Medicine) and Professor Jae-Hyun Park (Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine), has announced the development of 'OpenABE' (Open Adenine Base Editor).

Innovative SenMayo Gene Set Consistently Identifies Diverse Senescent Cells

A series of seven Mayo Clinic studies is helping reshape scientists' understanding of senescent, or "zombie," cells - aging cells that no longer divide but remain metabolically active and release inflammatory molecules that contribute to age-related diseases.

Dysfunctional Mitochondria Control Epigenetic Switches to Turn On Inflammatory Genes

Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps aging cells drive the chronic inflammation linked to many age-related diseases.

University of Oklahoma Study Uncovers Internal Recycling System in Photoreceptors

For decades, scientists believed that photoreceptors in the retina relied primarily on neighboring support cells, known as the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), to remove waste. While the RPE is still responsible for clearing away the worn-out tips of photoreceptors each day, new findings from the University of Oklahoma reveal that photoreceptors also perform much of their own internal housekeeping.

Microneedle Patches Turn Skin Into a Window for Immune Bioanalysis

Researchers combined local restimulation of skin-resident memory T cells with hydrogel-coated microneedle patches to recruit and sample rare immune cells. In mouse models, the approach recovered more antigen-specific T cells than a blood sample or punch biopsy, while studies in humans supported short-term tolerability and proof-of-concept cell sampling.

Wearable Microneedle Sensor Enables In Vivo Bioanalysis of Cardiac Biomarkers

Researchers developed a microneedle electrochemiluminescence device that measured cardiac troponins in interstitial fluid at 30-minute intervals and detected cTnI down to 21.3 fg/mL in artificial interstitial fluid. In 15 rats and 1 pig, researchers recorded biomarker trends broadly consistent with serum ELISA results, although the wired, single-target prototype has not been tested in humans.

New Framework Uses Genetic Variant Data to Recall Biobank Participants

Clinical biobanks that combine genomic data with electronic health records (EHRs) have become powerful resources for discovering genetic variants associated with disease.

Research Decodes How Gut Microbes Process Plant-Based Nutrients

Plant-based diets are good for you. They promote gut, immune, metabolic and cardiovascular health, in part by cultivating a diverse community of intestinal bacteria.

Novel Dendritic Cell Vaccine Redirects Viral Memory to Fight Tumors

In a discovery that could redefine the future of cancer immunotherapy, scientists from Celloram Inc., University Hospitals and Case Western Reserve University have developed a novel cancer vaccine platform that transforms the impact of the largest immunological event in modern history

Deep-Learning Holography Detects Elusive Circulating Tumor Cells in Prostate Cancer

Researchers combined microfluidic enrichment, AI-assisted holography, and fluorescence profiling to identify circulating tumor cell candidates in 13 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and 8 healthy donors. The platform found higher median candidate counts in patients, while nearly two-thirds of PSMA-positive candidates lacked EpCAM, suggesting EpCAM-dependent assays could miss some cells.

AI-Assisted Paper Test Measures Three Cardiac Biomarkers in 23 Minutes

Researchers developed an AI-assisted dual-mode paper assay that measures cTnI, CK-MB, and NT-proBNP from 50 µL of serum in 23 minutes. In single-site analytical validation, neural networks quantified the three biomarkers across distinct concentration ranges, supporting further development for multiplexed cardiac testing at the point of care.

Study Uncovers Two Distinct Embryonic Macrophage Populations with Different Repair Abilities

In leukemia's most aggressive forms, the blood cell factories in our bone marrow falter. Instead of dividing and multiplying at their usual prolific pace, generating hundreds of billions of new cells daily, some precursor cells stall out at an immature stage.
