Balancing Immune Cells May Unlock Hidden Human Regenerative Potential

In a study of fingertip regeneration, a team led by JAX Senior Research Scientist James Godwin found that some immune cells in mice can attack and kill cells needed to rebuild bone, while a subset of those same immune cells can protect the bone-making cells and allow regeneration to continue.

Novel Molecular Pathway Identified to Combat T-Cell Exhaustion in Cancer

Researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center used a CRISPR screen to identify a key molecular pathway that drives exhaustion in cancer-fighting immune cells, limiting their ability to keep tumors under control.

AI Partnership Aims to Personalize IVF Treatment, Improve Patient Outcomes

La Trobe University and reproductive health innovator GonGlobal have entered into a strategic collaboration to develop and validate advanced artificial intelligence (AI) and digital twin technologies for Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

Could mRNA Vaccine Technology Help Repair Damaged Livers?

Research indicates that brief cellular reprogramming and mRNA nanoparticles can enhance liver repair, offering new strategies for acute liver injury recovery.

Food Allergy Risk Changes as Children Grow

Sensitization to food allergens can change considerably during the first five years of a child’s life. A large Canadian birth-cohort study shows that sensitization to peanut often develops early and persists, while sensitization to several tree nuts tends to appear later.

Artificial Intelligence Integrates Multi-Omic Data to Predict HPV Lesion Progression

Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is extremely common and, in the vast majority of cases, clears up on its own. However, in some people, it persists and can develop into precancerous lesions or even cancer.

Scientists Discover Molecular Chain Reaction Behind Sound Wave Healing

Researchers from Capital Medical University, Beijing, China, have identified a CaN/NFATC3/Id3/E2A/Bmp4 signaling pathway that helps explain how low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) promotes bone regeneration.

New Open-Source Resource Maps Adolescent Brain Development Across Large Datasets

Researchers have created a large, openly available neuroimaging resource from more than 24,000 MRI scans of over 10,000 adolescents, providing an unprecedented view of how the brain's wiring develops during adolescence.

Study Uncovers Sex Specific Coordinated Stem Cell Dynamics in Skin Repair

By filming skin stem cells in living mice over five months, researchers at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, have discovered that in females these cells renew the skin in a more coordinated way than in males.

Breakthrough in Bacterial Enzyme Engineering for Sustainable Industrial Chemical Production

To produce pharmaceuticals, food ingredients, and flavours and fragrances, it is often necessary to oxidise alcohols. In conventional chemistry, this transformation typically relies on harsh oxidants and elevated temperatures, besides generating toxic waste.

Rhizosphere Tug-of-War for Iron Drives Plant-Microbe Evolutionary Co-Adaptation

Energy production in our cells, oxygen traveling in our blood, and immune cells fighting infection all depend on iron, an essential mineral that enters the food chain when plants absorb it from soil. But iron is often scarce-likely increasingly so as global weather and temperatures continue to change-and we aren't the only ones that need it.

Mount Sinai Launches Bioengineered Brain and Heart Models Into Space

Mount Sinai researchers are sending bioengineered human brain and cardiovascular tissue models into space for the first time today, as part of the SpaceX CRS-35 mission, to study brain activity, cardiovascular function, and accelerated aging in orbit.

Comprehensive Analysis of Emerging Strategies for Targeting Cyclin-Dependent Kinases in Cancer

More than 30 years after the direct connection was established between the molecular machinery controlling cell division and cancer, a new paper traces the evolution of cyclin-dependent kinase research and outlines the next generation of CDK-targeted therapies.

Cryo-EM Snapshots Capture Multi-Stage Structural Transitions During DNA Recombination

Bacteriophages, or viruses that infect bacteria, have a fiendishly simple purpose in life: attach to a bacterial cell, inject their DNA, and then use the host's genetic machinery to reproduce. In doing so, they may have evolved some of the most efficient gene editing tools ever seen in nature.

Scientists Discover Cell Division Mechanism Driving Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Experts from the University of Nottingham have discovered how a common genetic mutation disrupts the positioning of a key protein during cell division, revealing a new mechanism behind acute myeloid leukemia and a potential avenue for future treatment.

Study: Maternal Autoantibodies Targeting IL-1RA Trigger Premature Labor

A typical pregnancy lasts 40 weeks, but for about 1 in 10 pregnant women labor begins too soon. Premature or preterm birth is the leading cause of newborn deaths worldwide. Yet doctors have struggled to understand why preterm birth occurs - or how to predict which pregnancies are at highest risk.

Study Links Brain Epigenetic Changes and Tau Accumulation to Alzheimer's Pathology

Scientists know that age is the greatest risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, but aging alone doesn't explain why some people develop the condition while others do not.

New AI Model Decodes the Language of Immune Cell Movement

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and collaborating institutions in Texas developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that helps explain how immune cells find their way to specific locations in the body and why they avoid others.

Massive Tumor Cell Analysis Reveals Secret Mechanism Behind Pancreatic Cancer Resistance

A new analysis of nearly half a million cells from dozens of pancreatic tumors, led by researchers at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center and New York University (NYU), reveals how pancreatic cancer cells continuously reshape their genetic makeup over time, enabling them to evade treatment.
