Lipid Regulator Modulates Sonic Hedgehog Pathway, Shaping Heart and Lungs
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have identified a precise way the Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) pathway is regulated during embryonic development—one that helps explain...
Structure Reveals How Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Polymerase Is Inhibited
Crimean–Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), a tick-borne pathogen, continues to threaten public health with severe and often fatal human disease. With no licensed vaccines or...
Immunological Misadaptation Predicts Spontaneous Preterm Birth in Pregnancies
A new study in Nature Communications suggests that the immune system’s “miscalibration” may begin well before the first clinical signs of spontaneous preterm birth. Researchers...
Hurdles Complicate Biomarker Discovery Research
A new study highlights a familiar but still unresolved bottleneck in biomedical innovation: turning promising biology into reliable biomarkers. In a 2026 report in Pediatric...
How Extracellular Histones Disrupt Cardiomyocyte Function: New Mechanisms
A team studying how blood-borne danger signals harm the heart has traced a new pathway linking extracellular histones to cardiomyocyte failure, revealing a sequence of...
Simulation Boot Camp Improves Neonatal Critical Care Skills for Senior Fellows
Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine (NPM) fellowships are built to prepare physicians for high-stakes care at the edge of viability, where rapid decisions and precise interventions can determine...
Empagliflozin and Other SGLT2 Inhibitors Show Cardioprotective Benefits
Since the landmark EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial, sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have rapidly shifted from diabetes drugs to a central strategy for cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic protection. A...
Azacitidine and Venetoclax Impact Inflammatory Markers and Response in Elderly AML
A new study highlights how a two-drug strategy may reshape inflammatory biology in older adults newly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Researchers report that...
Recombinase-Based Genome Mapping Enables Large-Scale Structure Profiling of Prime Edits
A new protocol promises to turn the static architecture of mammalian genomes into something far more experimentally tractable. Understanding how genome structure shapes gene regulation...
Active Learning Aids Design of Fiber Gut Microbiome Interactions
A new study is spotlighting an ambitious goal for gut-health precision medicine: figuring out which dietary fibers selectively encourage beneficial microbes—and which combinations produce the...
Urinary Microbiome Links to Overactive Bladder, Pain Syndrome, and New Therapies
New research is reshaping how clinicians think about lower urinary tract disorders by challenging the long-held assumption that urine is sterile. In a perspective published...
FGFR4-Associated APOBEC3 Mutagenesis Defines HER2-Enriched Human Breast Cancer Subtype
A new study published in British Journal of Cancer reports that a signaling axis centered on FGFR4 reshapes how APOBEC3 enzymes drive DNA mutagenesis in...
MIT Engineers Create Recyclable Elastic Yarn for Sustainable Textiles
MIT engineers have developed a recyclable elastic yarn designed to tackle the growing problem of textile waste. With most stretchy garments containing spandex, end-of-life recycling...
Researchers Find Potentially Harmful Substance in Solid Waste
