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...
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...
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...
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 has announced a broad reshaping of its scientific and operational leadership, appointing five experienced cancer researchers and clinical research professionals to senior positions...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy can begin with remarkably similar symptoms: slowed movement, stiffness, tremor, balance problems and changes in speech. Yet beneath those...
