Intense Femtosecond Lasers Trigger Ultrafast Optical Switching in Doped Semiconductors
A burst of intense femtosecond laser light can make a semiconductor change its optical behavior almost instantaneously, according to a new study published in Light:...
Cat training program supports children with developmental disabilities—and benefits cats too
A structured cat-training program for children with developmental disabilities produced measurable benefits for both sides of the human–animal relationship, according to a new study from...
High-Power Pulses Stabilize Light Distribution Across Multicore Fibers
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...
How Transposable Elements Adapt in Clinically Important Adult Stem Cells
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...
Novel method enables genetic risk studies in rare immune cells
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...
3D Genome Mapping of Rare Immune Cells Uncovers New Crohn’s Disease Genes
Antwerp, 4 August 2026 — The genome is often described as a linear sequence of DNA, but inside a living cell it behaves more like...
Australian twin study reveals new insights into immune health
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...
Immune cells could help combat obesity-related muscle dysfunction
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...
Dairy Intake and Home Resistance Training Affect Function in Older Japanese Adults
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...
