Soft Stretchy Biosensors Improve Connections with Better Adhesion
Wearable biosensors are getting better at reading our bodies, but one problem keeps sabotaging real-world accuracy: staying in place. Skin is rarely a smooth, static...
Remdesivir improves outcomes in adult kidney transplant recipients with COVID-19
Remdesivir may offer benefits that extend well beyond the initial days of COVID-19 in adults living with kidney transplants, according to a target trial emulation...
Stress-Response Gene Boosts Salvia miltiorrhiza Salt Tolerance and Medicinal Yield
Salt stress is rapidly eroding crop productivity worldwide, and medicinal plants are not spared. For Salvia miltiorrhiza, salinization threatens both survival and the biochemical machinery...
Tissue-Resident Immune Cells Protect Human Lungs from Viral, Bacterial, Fungal Infections
A new Nature Immunology study reveals that the human lungs harbor a long-lived “reservoir” of tissue-resident memory T cells (T_RM), poised to react immediately to...
Methylglyoxal and acrolein disrupt arginine balance, causing hyperglycemia in male zebrafish
A new study in Nature Communications reports that two reactive metabolites—methylglyoxal and acrolein—can disrupt a key metabolic pathway in male zebrafish, triggering both high blood...
Randomized Trial Finds Benefits of Exclusive Human Milk Diet in Single-Ventricle Neonates
A new randomized clinical trial is drawing attention to a deceptively simple intervention for the most medically fragile newborns: feeding them only human milk. Researchers...
Biguanide derivative 4C boosts talazoparib by triggering ferroptosis in bladder cancer
A new preclinical study reports that a previously underexplored biguanide-based compound, 4C, can dramatically enhance the anticancer effects of talazoparib in bladder cancer models. Published...
Heterointerface Engineering in Bimetallic Sulfides Cuts Polarization Loss for Better Microwave Absorption
Wireless technology has become inseparable from everyday life, but the electromagnetic radiation emitted by smartphones, routers, and smart devices can interfere with sensitive electronics and...
Sanford Underground Facility Welcomes NEMESIS for Cutting-Edge Physics Research
It may sound like science fiction: an experiment named NEMESIS operating deep underground, waiting to reveal the universe’s hidden schemes. But at the Sanford Underground...
Vitamin B3 therapy may reduce severity of rare genetic disease
Children born with NAXD deficiency—a genetic disorder that can be rapidly fatal—may have a better future with early, high-dose vitamin B3 (niacin), according to a...
Nanotube Links Enable Communication Between Social Amoebae
Social amoebae coordinate as individual cells form shifting, cooperative assemblies. New findings now suggest that this coordination is supported by more intimate physical exchange than...
Link Between Weight Changes and Cognitive Decline in Older Adults
In an era where global populations are aging, cognitive decline has become a public-health priority. Yet the factors that shape brain health in later life...
Photogenerated triplet nitrene enables gold-mediated nitrene transfer
A team of chemists has unveiled a light-driven way to move nitrogen fragments onto gold—an advance that could make nitrene-transfer chemistry faster, more selective, and...
Fractionated Proteomics Uncovers Protein Network Reducing Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage
Resistance training is celebrated for building strength, but it also triggers a cascade of molecular stress in skeletal muscle—damage that the body must quickly manage...
