Light sent through a seven-core optical fiber can spontaneously reorganize itself into a remarkably stable and evenly distributed pattern when the input power becomes high...
Transposable elements, once dismissed as genomic “junk,” are emerging as active regulators of cell identity, stress responses and disease. A new study published in Cell...
Genetic risk for autoimmune disease may be hiding in the spaces between genes. A study published in Nature Genetics has revealed how disease-associated DNA variants...
Antwerp, 4 August 2026 — The genome is often described as a linear sequence of DNA, but inside a living cell it behaves more like...
An Australian-first twin study is set to investigate why people with highly similar genetic backgrounds can respond very differently to infections, immune-mediated diseases and medical...
Obesity is often discussed in terms of excess body fat, blood glucose, and cardiovascular risk, but its effects extend deep into the body’s machinery of...
A new randomized controlled trial from Japan is putting two everyday habits—eating dairy products and performing resistance exercises at home—under the scientific microscope in an...
A new perspective in Light: Science & Applications is putting an ambitious idea at the center of vascular medicine: the possibility of creating continuously updated,...
