Remdesivir improves outcomes in adult kidney transplant recipients with COVID-19
Remdesivir may offer benefits that extend well beyond the initial days of COVID-19 in adults living with kidney transplants, according...
Stress-Response Gene Boosts Salvia miltiorrhiza Salt Tolerance and Medicinal Yield
Salt stress is rapidly eroding crop productivity worldwide, and medicinal plants are not spared. For Salvia miltiorrhiza, salinization threatens both...
Tissue-Resident Immune Cells Protect Human Lungs from Viral, Bacterial, Fungal Infections
A new Nature Immunology study reveals that the human lungs harbor a long-lived “reservoir” of tissue-resident memory T cells (T_RM),...
Methylglyoxal and acrolein disrupt arginine balance, causing hyperglycemia in male zebrafish
A new study in Nature Communications reports that two reactive metabolites—methylglyoxal and acrolein—can disrupt a key metabolic pathway in male...
Randomized Trial Finds Benefits of Exclusive Human Milk Diet in Single-Ventricle Neonates
A new randomized clinical trial is drawing attention to a deceptively simple intervention for the most medically fragile newborns: feeding...
Biguanide derivative 4C boosts talazoparib by triggering ferroptosis in bladder cancer
A new preclinical study reports that a previously underexplored biguanide-based compound, 4C, can dramatically enhance the anticancer effects of talazoparib...
Heterointerface Engineering in Bimetallic Sulfides Cuts Polarization Loss for Better Microwave Absorption
Wireless technology has become inseparable from everyday life, but the electromagnetic radiation emitted by smartphones, routers, and smart devices can...
Sanford Underground Facility Welcomes NEMESIS for Cutting-Edge Physics Research
It may sound like science fiction: an experiment named NEMESIS operating deep underground, waiting to reveal the universe’s hidden schemes....
Vitamin B3 therapy may reduce severity of rare genetic disease
Children born with NAXD deficiency—a genetic disorder that can be rapidly fatal—may have a better future with early, high-dose vitamin...
Nanotube Links Enable Communication Between Social Amoebae
Social amoebae coordinate as individual cells form shifting, cooperative assemblies. New findings now suggest that this coordination is supported by...
Link Between Weight Changes and Cognitive Decline in Older Adults
In an era where global populations are aging, cognitive decline has become a public-health priority. Yet the factors that shape...
Photogenerated triplet nitrene enables gold-mediated nitrene transfer
A team of chemists has unveiled a light-driven way to move nitrogen fragments onto gold—an advance that could make nitrene-transfer...
Fractionated Proteomics Uncovers Protein Network Reducing Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage
Resistance training is celebrated for building strength, but it also triggers a cascade of molecular stress in skeletal muscle—damage that...

A team led by Del Popolo and colleagues reports that aggregated α-synuclein—an established driver of Parkinson’s disease pathology—does not affect...
Adaptive policies could boost Zambia nutrition security amid future climate shocks
Zambia is on the front line of climate volatility, and new research suggests that smart, adaptive policy could help protect...
Study finds higher healthcare costs linked to inappropriate medication use in seniors
A new matched-cohort study tracking older adults has quantified a problem clinicians often flag but rarely measure at scale: the...
Single-Plane Imaging Tracks Dynamic 3D Structures in Living Cells with Focus Feedback
A new protocol promises to make three-dimensional tracking in living cells far less punishing for both cells and microscopes. Instead...
