UCLA Research Challenges Textbook Theory of Crystal Formation
For more than a century, scientists have relied on classical nucleation theory to explain how matter begins to change phase. Whether water droplets condense from...

Thymus Radiation Linked to Poorer Outcomes in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients
A small organ long dismissed as a fading remnant of childhood may be an overlooked factor in how adults respond to cancer treatment. New research...
Researchers launch $3.3 million study of opioid treatment during breastfeeding
The rise of opioid use disorder (OUD) among women of reproductive age is creating an urgent scientific and clinical challenge: how to provide effective treatment...
New genetic tools enable reversible metabolite control in nonmodel gut Clostridia
Gut bacteria have long been recognized as influential partners in human biology, but the ability to test their effects directly has lagged behind the growing...
Hierarchical Net-Zero-Liquid-Discharge System Recovers Salt and Cuts Carbon Emissions from Steel Wastewater
Steelmaking has long carried an invisible environmental cost: the enormous volumes of water required to cool equipment, wash gases, control dust, and process raw materials...
New models predict short- and long-term diabetes complications after diagnosis
A diabetes diagnosis is often treated as a starting point: a moment when blood sugar becomes high enough to cross a clinical threshold, prompting medication,...
Urinary proteomics shows promise for congenital diaphragmatic hernia and Tetralogy of Fallot
Congenital heart and lung conditions may soon be monitored through one of the simplest biological samples available: urine. A new article in Pediatric Research examines...
Web-Based Lab Simulator Uses TPACK to Teach Experimental Design and Scientific Reasoning
Biomedical engineering students are being asked to do more than follow laboratory instructions: they must learn how to think like scientists. A new teaching initiative...
Ambulatory venoarterial ECMO technique enables bridge-to-transplant via subclavian and jugular cannulation
A new case report describes a “femoral-free” configuration for ambulatory venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO), a form of life support that can maintain circulation...
Sex-Specific Cypermethrin Hippocampal Toxicity Disrupts Antioxidant, Membrane, Apoptotic, and GABA Signaling
Cypermethrin, a widely used synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, may damage the hippocampus through a complex combination of oxidative stress, membrane disruption, programmed cell death, and impaired...
How Cancer-Causing 3D Chromatin Remodeling Begins and Shapes Disease
Cancer does not merely rewrite the genetic letters of the genome; it can also reorganize the vast three-dimensional structure in which those letters are stored....
Probiotic and metabolite combat age-related inflammation, extending healthy lifespan
Aging does not follow a single biological script. Some people remain physically active and cognitively resilient well into later life, while others develop chronic inflammation,...
AI Model Hetairos Predicts Central Nervous System Tumor Methylation Subtypes
A new artificial intelligence model could help pathologists identify the molecular subtypes of central nervous system tumors using information hidden in ordinary microscope images, according...
Mapping cardiovascular progenitors in pig hearts identifies Midkine as neovascularization promoter
A new study tracking human stem-cell-derived cardiovascular progenitors inside injured pig hearts has identified a molecular signal that may help explain how transplanted cells promote...
Ligand-Guided Radical Orientation Enables Asymmetric Cyanation of Unstabilized Alkyl Radicals
A new copper-catalysed reaction could give chemists a powerful way to create chiral molecules from some of the most difficult intermediates in organic chemistry: highly...
