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...
Intelligent Photonics and Digital Twins Advance Adaptive Care for Panvascular Disease
A new perspective in Light: Science & Applications is putting an ambitious idea at the center of vascular medicine: the possibility of creating continuously updated,...
HMGA1 Promotes Bone-Like Transformation of Vascular Muscle Cells in Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease is often described as a disorder of filtration, but its consequences extend far beyond the kidneys. One of its most dangerous complications...
Mechanically Tunable Molecular Switch Enables Circularly Polarized Light Emission
A tiny molecular machine that can switch circularly polarized light on and off in response to mechanical force has been developed by researchers in Japan....
Researchers uncover how high-capacity lithium-ion anodes become activated
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries may be losing access to their full energy-storage potential for a reason hidden inside individual electrode particles. Researchers have now identified a...
Study Examines Link Between Neonatal Male Circumcision and Autism Diagnoses
A large US cohort study has found no evidence that neonatal medical male circumcision is associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or with autism-related traits...
Trinity Antennas: Flexible Active Radio-Frequency Systems with Built-In Heat Spreading
Radio antennas are usually treated as passive pieces of hardware: they transmit or receive electromagnetic waves, while separate electronics handle amplification, processing and power management....
UK Survey Reveals Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Priorities for Women Under 50
Breast cancer risk assessment for women under 50 is being put under the microscope in a new UK study that examines not only which information...
METTL14-Dependent FGF16 m6A Modification Promotes Angiogenesis Following IGFBP5 Deficiency
A molecular switch that helps blood vessels grow may connect two seemingly separate processes in cancer and tissue biology: the loss of insulin-like growth factor...
Graz University Researchers Develop Cooling Ceramic Walls to Reduce Urban Heat
Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) researchers have developed a striking new approach to urban cooling: small, 3D-printed ceramic cubes that use water evaporation to...
