Population history, not age, drives ancient trees’ evolutionary importance in endangered conifer
Ancient trees are often treated as living time capsules, celebrated for surviving centuries of drought, storms, disease and human disturbance. But a new study suggests...
Refeeding Syndrome Impacts Postnatal Growth in Extremely Low-Birth-Weight Infants
A fragile transition begins the moment an extremely low birth weight infant leaves the womb. After months of receiving a continuous supply of nutrients through...
Sex and genotype shape circulating NMDAR-related amino acid disruptions in Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease is often described as a disorder of movement, but a new study suggests that the illness may also alter the body’s chemistry in...
Chinese Neurosurgical Journal study shows LVIS stent alters blood flow in aneurysms
Intracranial aneurysms are among the most dangerous abnormalities of the cerebral circulation. These weakened sections of an artery expand outward under blood pressure and may...
NRG Oncology Adds Leaders to Clinical Research, Mentorship, and Translational Science Committees
NRG Oncology has announced a broad reshaping of its scientific and operational leadership, appointing five experienced cancer researchers and clinical research professionals to senior positions...
Busseiron: Tracing the Origins and Evolution of Japan’s Distinctive Physics Tradition
A Japanese term that once seemed like little more than a specialized label helped create and preserve an entire branch of physics, according to a...
Goda Lab Advances to Final XPRIZE Healthspan Phase with Breakthrough Super Exosomes
A research team in Japan has won a US$1 million Milestone 2 award in the XPRIZE Healthspan competition for developing engineered “super exosomes,” microscopic biological...
Fetal brain models show IL-17A disrupts cortical development after maternal immune activation
A new study has brought scientists closer to observing how inflammation during pregnancy may alter the earliest stages of human brain development. Using three-dimensional tissue...
Review outlines emerging directions in pulmonary arterial hypertension research
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is being redefined by molecular biology. Once viewed mainly as a disorder of excessive blood-vessel constriction, the disease is now understood...
Noninvasive nanoparticle barcoding demonstrated in nonhuman primates
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) have become one of the most important delivery technologies in modern medicine, helping transport messenger RNA into cells for vaccines, protein replacement...
Which Families Pay Most for Neonatal Intensive Care? Analyzing NICU Out-of-Pocket Costs
The price of saving a newborn’s life can extend far beyond the hospital walls. A new analysis published in the Journal of Perinatology is drawing...
ONE Microscopy Advances High-Resolution Imaging for Scientific Discovery
Expansion microscopy has spent the past decade changing the rules of super-resolution imaging. Instead of relying solely on increasingly sophisticated optics, the technique physically enlarges...
Biomedical Imaging Foundation Models: Separating Hype from Reality
Foundation models are promising to become the “universal translators” of biomedical data—but a new perspective argues that medicine should resist treating them as all-knowing digital...
SELENOF and unfolded protein response crosstalk determines breast epithelial cell fate
A newly published study is drawing attention to an intricate molecular conversation inside breast epithelial cells: the crosstalk between SELENOF, a selenium-associated protein linked to...
