A new approach to building faster, more compact optical sensors could help push silicon photonics beyond the limits of conventional semiconductor platforms. In a study...
Rare childhood central nervous system tumours have exposed one of the most stubborn weaknesses in modern oncology: science can move faster than the clinical-trial systems...
Parkinson’s disease has long been described as a disorder of dopamine-producing neurons, but a new comparative study suggests that its molecular story may be far...
A smartwatch may be doing far more than counting steps. It may be quietly recording a shifting portrait of how the body ages—minute by minute,...
A metabolic by-product best known for its role in cellular energy production may be helping obesity turn osteoarthritis into a more aggressive and destructive disease,...
Cytokines are among the immune system’s most powerful molecular messengers. These small proteins coordinate inflammation, guide the development of immune cells and help the body...
A new study in npj Viruses is examining how orthoflaviviruses manipulate one of the most dynamic systems inside infected cells: the mitochondria. The article, “Mitochondrial...
Urinary tract infections are commonly treated as infections that unfold in an exposed, fluid-filled environment. Yet some of the bacteria responsible for recurrent disease can...
Wild rodents are emerging as important subjects in the effort to understand how coronaviruses evolve outside human populations. A new study in npj Viruses examines...
A new clinical study is drawing attention to the possibility of treating HER2-positive breast cancer before surgery with a next-generation antibody designed to attack the...
A global shift is transforming the medical story of inflammatory bowel disease in children. In a commentary on Yue and colleagues’ population-based study, researchers describe...
Parkinson’s disease may be leaving behind a molecular trail far more intricate than previously understood. A new study published in npj Parkinson’s Disease reports that...
