Regular Hot Baths Could Alleviate Common Circulatory Disease

A regular soak in a hot bath could help to improve a common painful circulatory disease, with this strategy being studied by researchers at Manchester Metropolitan University, thanks to funding from the British Heart Foundation.

Live Organelle Imaging Catches Early Neuronal Stress Before Cell Death

Scientists studying amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases are getting unprecedented views inside brain cells, using powerful new microscopes to uncover changes that may begin long before neurons die.

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.

Bee-Free Honey Alternatives Show Promising Medical and Antimicrobial Potential

Vegan honey alternatives could be engineered to have similar antimicrobial properties to prized mānuka honey from New Zealand, according to research at Aston University.

Genomic Adaptation Reveals How Candida auris Resists Potent Antifungal Drug Treatments

New research has revealed an unexpected new mechanism through which the killer fungus Candida auris is resisting antifungal drug treatment.

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.

Decoupled Neural and Muscular Networks Sustain Post-Separation Target Tissue Penetration

Australian scientists have used high speed video to uncover the unique mechanism that allows a honey bee's stinger to continue to pump venom into its target even after it has separated from the bee's body.

Epigenetic DNA Methylation Clocks Track Gradual Cellular Rejuvenation Across Fifty Days

Researchers from the University Hospital of Bonn and the University of Bonn have succeeded in dramatically rejuvenating human cells in a test tube. To do so, they directly reprogrammed red blood cell precursors into stem cells from which neurons can be derived. During this process, the molecular clocks that indicate a cell's age were reset.

Mediterranean Diet Linked to Lower Likelihood of Acne in Adults

According to new King’s College London research, adults who followed a Mediterranean-style diet, rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats, were less likely to report acne, particularly for women.

Newly Discovered Hair Cells on Squid May Offer Clues to Understand Hearing Loss in Humans

Scientists for years have known that squids have cells with bundles of tiny, hair-like protrusions on their heads and arms like those buried deep inside the human ear that allow us to hear.

Targeting Host Cellular Repair Mechanisms Enhances Tissue Resistance to Infection

Epithelial cells form the body's frontline barriers, helping keep microbes, toxins, and other harmful substances out. Yet these protective cells are constantly exposed to threats, including microbial infections.

Research Consortium Maps Mitochondrial Diversity Across the Complex Tree of Life

A research consortium has generated the broadest look yet at the proteins that make up mitochondria, capturing the organelle's diversity across multiple branches on the tree of complex life.

Study Links OCA2 Gene Mutations to Non-Melanin Ocular Developmental Defects

Tiny, striped zebrafish are helping scientists trace how a gene linked to albinism influences eye development, work that may ultimately help explain some of the vision problems experienced by people with the condition and guide the search for new treatments.

Multi-Receptor Blocking Achieves Superior Antifibrotic Response Over Single-Receptor Inhibition

Three adenosine receptor subtypes that normally send different signals were found to converge on a common pathway that activates cardiac fibroblasts, the scar-forming cells in the heart. Blocking the receptors together produced a much stronger antifibrotic effect than blocking them one at a time.

Strength Training Induces Fat Breakdown in Obese Mice Without Weight Loss

Just seven days of strength training increased visceral fat burning in obese mice, even before any weight loss could be seen on a scale. In an experiment conducted at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), researchers observed that a short period of strength training activated mechanisms involved in fat breakdown, reduced fat cell size, and decreased fat around the animals' intestines.

Infected Macrophages Release Inflammatory Signals That Accelerate Surrounding Lung Infection

In the sickest COVID-19 patients, the SARS-CoV-2 virus doesn't just cause severe damage by directly infecting airway cells.

Combining Massive Genomic Cohorts With Single-Cell Analysis to Track Autoimmune Diseases

A research team led by Professor Hong-Hee Won of the Samsung Advanced Institute for Health Sciences and Technology (SAIHST) at Sungkyunkwan University(SKKU) and Samsung Medical Center, with Researcher Hyeonbin Jo as a first author, has revealed the specific mechanisms.

Scientists Grow Human Brain Organoids in Cortex-Depleted Mice

Stanford Medicine scientists have chalked up a major advance in growing human brain cells outside of the human brain - and outside of laboratory glassware.

Researchers Analyze Somatic DNA Integrity across Complex Longevity Pathways

A new review was published in Volume 18 of Aging on August 26, 2026, titled "Assessing mechanisms and evidence of a causal role for cellular senescence and somatic mutations in aging."
