Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR) is driven by the misfolding of transthyretin (TTR), a transport protein whose fragments assemble into toxic amyloid fibrils. In patients, these...
High-capacity silicon anodes are among the most promising routes to boost the energy density of lithium-ion batteries. Yet their appeal is tempered by a familiar...
Extremely preterm birth sets the stage for a cascade of cardiopulmonary and brain stresses during the fragile days after delivery. For years, clinicians have linked...
A new prospective study from a tertiary neonatal center in the United Arab Emirates offers a granular look at survival and pre-discharge outcomes for extremely...
A new tutorial review highlights how researchers are engineering “biomembrane–electronic” interfaces to connect living cells—or faithful cell-membrane mimics—with chip-based devices. The goal is not just...
A new qualitative ethnographic study is reshaping how we think about aging with Parkinson’s disease in low-resource settings. Published in 2026 in BMC Geriatrics, the...
A new study published in British Journal of Cancer this week tackles a problem that has haunted many air-pollution investigations: how to separate correlation from...
PeroCycle, a pioneer in closed-loop carbon recycling, has unveiled strategic partnerships aimed at speeding up the development and worldwide commercialization of a technology designed to...
A new study from researchers at UCL suggests that an AI-assisted way of reading tumour biopsies could sharpen who benefits from an intensified therapy for...
A team of researchers in Japan has observed an ultrafast electronic drama unfolding inside a metal–organic framework (MOF) in just 30 femtoseconds. Their work reveals...
Handheld ultrasound is moving from hospitals to the bedside. A new study published in The Annals of Family Medicine reports that artificial intelligence–guided handheld cardiac...
Plants build organs by coordinating “initiation” and “growth,” but how one signal can drive two opposite outcomes has been unclear. A new study reveals a...
Aging intervertebral discs are a major contributor to chronic low back pain, yet the biological chain of events that turns tissue aging into degeneration remains...
Perovskite solar cells have leapt forward in efficiency in part because self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) can be grown on transparent conductive oxides such as TCO-coated indium...
Viral science news: Autoimmune thyroiditis has long puzzled researchers with how mitochondrial material sparks an inflammatory cascade that ultimately damages thyroid tissue. A new study...
