Practical Toolbox Enables Improved In Vitro Fibrosis Modelling
Fibrosis is one of medicine’s most persistent and difficult biological problems: a repair response that refuses to switch off. Across the heart, lungs, kidneys, liver...
Orai1 Calcium Entry Regulates Lipolysis and Mitochondrial Activation During Brown Fat Thermogenesis
A new study has identified a calcium-signaling pathway that helps brown fat convert stored energy into heat, offering a sharper view of how the body’s...
GPS Study Shows Barred Owl Management Gives Spotted Owls a Fighting Chance
BLUE LAKE, Calif., Aug. 13, 2026 — An invasive owl is occupying the same ancient forests that northern spotted owls need for survival, according to...
Damon Runyon Foundation Awards $4.2 Million to Promising Early-Career Cancer Researchers

Physics-guided AI creates low-noise amplifiers using 62% less power than expert designs
A new physics-guided artificial intelligence framework could change how engineers design one of the most important circuits inside modern wireless devices. Researchers from the Singapore...
AGR2-high cells fuel FOXM1-driven malignancy and predict outcomes in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
Non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NF-PanNETs) are often described as relatively indolent cancers, but that broad label conceals a striking range of clinical behavior. Some tumors...
NUS Medicine professor tests himself, revealing a biological age 15 years younger
Most health checks offer a still photograph of the body: a blood-pressure reading, a cholesterol level, a glucose measurement and perhaps a few other laboratory...
From Cabozantinib to Zanzalintinib: Chemical Tweaks Open New Frontier in Product Hopping
For decades, the pharmaceutical industry’s most familiar strategy for extending the commercial life of a successful medicine has been to make a new version of...
Light-triggered proximity labeling identifies SLK as a cancer-specific c-Myc co-regulator
Cancer researchers have identified a previously hidden molecular partnership that may help explain why the protein c-Myc becomes so destructive in tumors. In a study...
Coral-inspired scaffold reprograms immune cells to accelerate bone regeneration
A coral-inspired scaffold that combines multi-walled carbon nanotubes with nano-hydroxyapatite has shown promise in restoring bone regeneration in steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head, a...
Giant Virus Genome Catalogue Reveals Vast Diversity and Functional Potential
Giant viruses are rewriting one of biology’s most familiar stories. Once regarded as unusual but relatively isolated curiosities, these oversized viruses are now emerging as...
STARFISH Reveals Dendritic Translation and Neuroproteasome Degradation of Endogenous Tau
Alzheimer’s disease has long been associated with the accumulation of tau, a neuronal protein that normally helps organize and stabilize microtubules inside axons. In the...
Brainstem neurons coordinate the body’s homeostatic responses to cold
Cold is more than an uncomfortable sensation. For mammals, falling environmental temperatures trigger a coordinated emergency programme involving the brain, muscles, blood vessels, metabolism, behaviour...
US Visa Bureaucracy Imposes an Invisible Tax on International Scholars
