Scientists are racing to mimic photosynthesis by turning carbon dioxide (CO₂) into fuels and chemicals using sunlight. A major bottleneck in photocatalysis is finding materials...

Atomically thin electronics are inching toward a breakthrough—and the bottleneck is not the channel, but the contact. In graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), the...

Insilico Medicine has announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track Designation to ISM6331, an investigational pan-TEAD inhibitor being developed...

ST. LOUIS—The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) has launched Project Remission, a new initiative urging healthcare systems to rethink chronic disease goals. Rather than...

A new study suggests that two inherited cardiomyopathies—dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC)—can diverge dramatically from an almost identical genetic change. The work,...

A new study published in Nature Communications reports a longitudinal map of mosaic chromosomal alterations, tracking how these genomic events reshape the cellular “clones” that...

A growing number of children recovering from COVID-19 continue to experience persistent symptoms, and a new study suggests that the next chapter of Long COVID...

Newborns who suffer hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)—a form of brain injury caused by oxygen deprivation around birth—may survive, but the aftermath can be long and quiet....

Bacteria armed with Ssp defenses can distinguish self from invading phage by modifying host DNA and selectively cutting foreign DNA. In this system, sequence-specific phosphorothioate...

A new study in macaques suggests that how memory traces are reorganized by experience is reflected not only in synaptic networks but also in the...

A new study in Nature Communications reports that maternal hyperglycemia can program the offspring’s heart through a molecular pathway involving O-GlcNAcylation of CaMKIIδ, a calcium/calmodulin-dependent...

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)—especially acetate, propionate, and butyrate—are produced when gut microbes ferment carbohydrates that the human body cannot digest. Over the past decade, these...

Neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains one of pediatrics’ most devastating intestinal disorders, and safer, mechanism-driven therapies are urgently needed. New findings suggest that tiny vesicles...

A new prenatal roadmap could soon help clinicians place endotracheal tubes (ETTs) more precisely in the tiniest preterm newborns. In infants with birth weights under...

Age-related remodeling of the immune system leaves older adults increasingly susceptible to sudden infections and cancer, while also promoting chronic, misdirected inflammation and impaired wound...
