Winery Waste Becomes Stable Squalane for Greener Cosmetics

Researchers developed an eco-friendly workflow to recover squalene from wine lees using ultrasound-assisted extraction and convert it into more stable squalane using clay-supported palladium catalysts. The upcycled squalane showed improved oxidative stability and enhanced quercetin transport across an artificial membrane, supporting its potential as a sustainable cosmetic excipient.

Stem T Cells Replenish the Immune System During Chronic Infections and Diseases

T cells are an elite fighting force of the immune system, seeking out and destroying diseased cells. But in a prolonged campaign against a chronic condition - like a viral infection, or cancer - the body needs a steady supply of these killer troops. Where and how these killer troops are generated has been a mystery.

Cancer Cells Hijack Macrophage Metabolism to Create an Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are among the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. However, instead of attacking cancer cells, they are typically co-opted to support tumor growth, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance.

High Stomach Regeneration Rates Can Trigger Tumor Development

Few areas of the body face more daily stress and potential damage than the stomach, which must manage everything we swallow. Along with this constant strain, the stomach also produces acid that can damage its own lining and increase the risk of ulcers.
