Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) is known for producing swift metabolic improvements in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but the biological chain...
Microbial communities rarely behave like chaotic crowds. Instead, new work in Nature Microbiology suggests they may shift in strikingly orderly ways—allowing an entire ecosystem of...
A team of researchers reports a new route to making skyrmions—tiny, swirling magnetic textures that can behave like stable information bits—using light rather than only...
Chronic itch, a stubborn symptom that can persist for years, has long puzzled clinicians because it often resists conventional anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory approaches. Now, a...

Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory condition affecting millions worldwide, is driven by bacterial biofilms beneath the gums. The resulting immune activation gradually erodes the tissues and...
A major snag in optical see-through augmented reality (AR) is the trade-off between realism and usability. When occlusion-capable head-mounted displays block or modify real-world light...
Thermoelectric materials are prized for their ability to harvest waste heat and turn it into electricity, yet they face a stubborn trade-off: boosting electrical transport...
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is defined by the build-up of tau, yet patients often show cognitive and behavioral problems that don’t neatly match where tau...
Viral Science News — A new study reports that an immune-regulating factor called ASB2 can reshape liver metabolism in a way that strengthens anti-tumor defense....
Viral Science News — A new study from researchers including Z. Liao and H. Meng reports that mechanical cues from the extracellular matrix can steer...
Decades after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) became clinical workhorses for depression and schizophrenia, the cellular logic behind their durable benefits...
A new study in BMC Geriatrics spotlights how the emotional lives of older adults may help determine psychological recovery after hip-fracture surgery. Researchers examined postoperative...
