Micropeptides from lncRNAs drive cancer progression and metastasis
A new study in The British Journal of Cancer reports that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can carry hidden protein-coding potential, generating micropeptides that may influence...
HK1–LDHA feedback boosts Wnt5a histone lactylation, linking prenatal acetaminophen to male OA
A new study is drawing attention to how prenatal drug exposure can shape disease risk long after birth, pointing to an unexpected epigenetic pathway involving...
Boosting antitumor immunity by triggering cancer cell pyroptosis
Gasdermins (GSDMs) are pore-forming executioners of pyroptosis, a highly inflammatory form of programmed cell death that culminates in membrane rupture. The pathway that first linked...
Pusan National University Scientists Create Smart Adaptive Vibration Isolator System
A new kind of vibration “cushion” could soon make precision machinery far more tolerant to real-world changes in load. In manufacturing lines, aerospace systems, automotive...
Self-Sampling Boosts HPV Detection and Increases Cervical Cancer Screening Rates
A pragmatic randomized controlled trial in Singapore tested whether cervical cancer screening participation and human papillomavirus (HPV) detection could be improved by offering self-collected samples...
AI Underwater Robots Monitor Diver Stress Using Exhaled Bubble Patterns
University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers have unveiled a first-of-its-kind AI system for underwater companion robots that can assess a diver’s health in real time...
Real-Time Laser Ablation Monitoring Detects Wafer Penetration via Recoil Force
Laser dicing is the backbone of making semiconductor chips, but it comes with an industrial reality: the process must be precise every time. Compared with...
New Snail Species Strengthens Montenegro Biodiversity Protection Case
Two newly described land-snail species have expanded Europe’s known Cochlostoma fauna, according to a new open-access study published in Biodiversity Data Journal. The species—Cochlostoma komarnica...
Drosophila Study Reveals Global Molecular Code Linking Birth Order to Neurons
Researchers have uncovered a timing system that helps the Drosophila nervous system generate many neuron types from shared progenitors. The study focuses on how sequential...
Quasi-Ballistic Ion Transport in Vertical Microrod Enables Efficient Evaporation Power Generation
Evaporation-driven power generation promises a simple way to tap atmospheric heat, but practical devices have struggled with a basic bottleneck: the liquid tends to move...
Chlamydomonas chlororibosome reshaped by chloroplast-encoded small subunit extensions
Chlamydomonas chlororibosome architecture mapped by cryo-ET and purified ribosome cryo-EM A new report in Nature Plants combines in situ cryo-electron tomography with high-resolution single-particle cryo-EM...
Hybrid Deep Reconstruction Enables Vignetting-Free Upconversion Imaging Through Scattering
A new study reports a “hybrid deep reconstruction” pipeline that aims to restore high-contrast optical images even when signals are scrambled by scattering in epsilon-near-zero...
Unique sulfatase adaptations enable Akkermansia muciniphila to degrade colonic mucin
Akkermansia muciniphila, the gut bacterium often linked to metabolic and immune balance, has long intrigued researchers because it thrives on the body’s own mucin-rich lining....
Cross-Species Spatial Transcriptomics Reveals Conserved Drivers of Lupus Skin and Hair Loss
A new viral science news report from Nature Communications highlights how comparing skin tissue at the molecular level across species can expose the hidden choreography...
