DNA Damage Response Pathways Inform New Cancer Immunotherapy Strategies
The DNA damage response (DDR) and the immune system may look like separate defense networks, but new research underscores how tightly they can cooperate to...
Spatial Transcriptomics Reveals Histology-Linked Growth Patterns in Colorectal Liver Metastases
A new study is turning the microscopic “how it grows” question in colorectal cancer liver metastases into a measurable molecular signature. Published in British Journal...
Algorithms Generate Foundry-Ready Photonic Circuits Beyond Human Intuition
Photonic microchips promise dramatically faster information processing by steering and manipulating light on chip-scale platforms. Unlike conventional electronic routing, these devices guide light through micrometer-wide...
Review Finds Stable Circular RNAs as Noninvasive Biomarkers for Cancer Detection
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are gaining momentum as viral-worthy candidates in the liquid biopsy revolution. Unlike linear RNAs, circRNAs form covalently closed loops that resist exonuclease...

New Imaging Reveals Plant Tissues in Greater Detail
Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN) and the Regional Centre for Biotechnology, Faridabad, have introduced a new fluorescent approach to visualize xylem,...
Innate immune recovery lags nutrition after severe acute malnutrition in children
Viral science news—Children recovering from complicated severe acute malnutrition may appear to “bounce back” nutritionally, but a new study suggests their innate immune defenses recover...
Cigarette Smoke Exposure Alters Gut Microbiome and Damages Short-Chain Fatty Acid Metabolism in Rats
Cigarette smoke is best known for damaging the lungs, triggering inflammatory cascades that can impair breathing and accelerate disease. But mounting evidence suggests that smoke...
Temporal Changes in Hyaluronan Levels in Preterm Human Breast Milk
Preterm infants arrive with unique vulnerabilities, and the first nourishment they receive is more than calories—it’s a time-sensitive biological instruction manual. In a new study,...
Wang Set to Receive NSF CAREER Award
