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...
Breathing clean air depends on filters that do more than trap particles—they must hold them. In many conventional systems, captured dust can loosen under airflow...
Glenview, Illinois—CHEST, the American College of Chest Physicians’ flagship journal portfolio, has reported a major milestone for its open-access publication CHEST® Critical Care: the journal...
Efficient oligonucleotide synthesis is the bottleneck behind many modern applications, from molecular diagnostics to nucleic acid therapeutics. The current workhorse approach—P(III)-phosphoramidite chemistry—delivers speed and reliability,...
MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (07/29/2026) — A team at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities reports a chemical tweak that could make polylactide (PLA), a...
Kinase-driven phosphorylation is a central switch in cell signaling, yet most sites in the human proteome remain poorly characterized. Among the roughly 1.8 million serine,...
