Biomimetic Protein Scaffolds Enable Living Dentin Regeneration in Dental Cavities

A protein that helps build teeth may one day be used to allow damaged teeth to repair themselves.

Nanoparticle Displayed Antibody Fragments Ease Asthma Associated Goblet Cell Hyperplasia

Airway mucus is part of innate lung defense, but when production overwhelms clearance, it obstructs airflow and worsens disease.

Innate Immune Sensor cGAS Acts as Nuclear Metabolic Regulator

Scientists at the University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center have discovered an unexpected role for a key innate immune protein, revealing how it helps regulate cholesterol levels inside cells and influences tumor growth and treatment response.

Microgravity Drives the Metabolic Switch From Glycolysis to Oxidative Phosphorylation

Earth-based hiPSC models have transformed disease research but remain limited by cellular immaturity, a strong reliance on glycolysis rather than oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and incomplete tissue architecture.

New Research Reveals Strong Public Support for National Parks’ Role in Wellbeing, Nature and Climate Action

A new report from National Parks UK reveals strong public support for the wider role National Parks can play in people's lives, alongside shared concerns about mental wellbeing, nature loss, access to nature and the impacts of climate change.

Genomic Insights Into Microbial Recruitment and Adaptation in Global Eggplant

Plants depend on root-associated microbes for nutrients, protection against pathogens and stress tolerance.

Tower Sensing and Genetics Reveal Time-Shifting Phenotypes in Cottonwood Canopies

Black cottonwood is a fast-growing, genetically diverse tree with potential as a lignocellulosic feedstock for biofuels, including sustainable aviation fuels.

Scientists Discover Molecular Cascade Behind Brain Dysregulation in Angelman Syndrome

Angelman syndrome is a rare disease with a single known cause: one missing gene. The lack of that gene, normally inherited from the mother, occurs in approximately one in 20,000 births and is associated with cognitive and mobility deficits that become evident in children when they are around 6 months of age.

Functional Genomics Platform Connects Candidate Genes to Pest Defense Phenotypes

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) supplies dietary protein, livestock feed, and income in tropical and subtropical regions, while its nitrogen-fixing ability adds agricultural value. Genome sequencing has provided researchers with numerous candidate genes, and genetic transformation has enabled studies of traits such as drought and heat tolerance.

Dendritic Cell STING Activation Licenses Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Priming

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer care, yet only a subset of patients benefit. A major barrier is tumor microenvironment (TME) heterogeneity: "hot" tumors are enriched with cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and respond better, while "cold" tumors lack T-cell infiltration or are shielded by immunosuppressive barriers.

Cold Responsive Transcription Factor Binding Overlaps Open Chromatin at Gene Promoters

Rice originated in subtropical environments, yet its cultivation has expanded into regions where low temperatures threaten growth, development, and yield. Japonica rice generally tolerates cold better than indica rice, and researchers have linked this adaptation to changes in stress-responsive gene expression. Much attention has focused on C-repeat binding factors, a group of transcription factors that help coordinate plant cold responses.

Stable Isotope Carbon Tracing Proves Uncoupling Inhibits De Novo Purine Synthesis

Mitochondrial serine catabolic pathway (MSCP), also called serine, glycine, and one-carbon metabolism, is essential for cancer cells to produce amino acids, one-carbon units, and reducing equivalents.

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).

Cortisol is a Reproduction Friend, Not Enemy

The large systematic review, led by La Trobe University and involving scientists in the United States and Canada, found that while cortisol is often labelled a “stress hormone”, they are a normal and potentially supportive part of female reproductive cycles.
