TNFR1 Connects Inflammation, Fatty Acid Oxidation Failure to Intestinal Stem Cell Aging
A new study has identified a molecular chain that may help explain how chronic inflammation gradually ages the intestine from within. Published in Nature Aging,...
How Neural Signals Could Boost Tumor Immunity and Improve Cancer Immunotherapy
Cancer immunotherapy has transformed treatment for many patients, yet its success remains uneven. Tumors that appear highly vulnerable to immune attack can resist checkpoint inhibitors,...
Advanced wastewater treatment may generate hidden endocrine risks, study finds
Advanced wastewater treatment is widely regarded as a final safeguard before treated water is released into rivers or reused. Yet new research suggests that some...
Prostate Cancer Drugs Targeting Androgen Receptors May Trigger Metabolic Dysfunction
A large study of men with prostate cancer has put a sharper focus on a side of modern cancer treatment that is often overshadowed by...
KAIST Controls Light’s Rotation Direction Without Complex New Materials
Light can now be made to rotate in a chosen direction without designing entirely new chiral molecules, according to researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute...
Targeted Focal Therapy Shows Promise Against Prostate Cancer
A new analysis of prostate cancer care in the United States suggests that focal therapy—an approach designed to destroy only the tumor-bearing portion of the...
Biochar and nitrification inhibitors reduce ammonia losses without sacrificing crop yields
Nitrogen fertilizer has helped transform modern agriculture, allowing farmers to produce far more food from the same land. Yet a significant portion of the nitrogen...
Study reveals how epigenetic clocks work and introduces new age-prediction tools
For years, epigenetic clocks have promised to reveal whether a person is aging faster or slower than the calendar suggests. Now, a new study is...
New strategy strengthens CAR-T cells against solid tumors, potentially transforming cancer treatment
For years, CAR-T cell therapy has stood as one of cancer medicine’s most striking successes. By removing a patient’s T cells, genetically engineering them to...
Study Compares SBRT and Hypofractionated IMRT for Intermediate-Risk Prostate Cancer
For men with localized intermediate-risk prostate cancer, a high-tech radiation treatment that can complete therapy in just a few sessions did not outperform a more...
Pakistan study links traumatic brain injury to poor long-term survival
Traumatic brain injury is taking a far heavier toll in Pakistan than hospital statistics alone suggest. Two new studies led by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers...
DNA Repair Mechanisms Show Preference for Certain Genetic Damage
A wound that heals imperfectly leaves a scar. In the genome, the equivalent scar is a mutation: a permanent alteration in DNA that remains after...
How Collective Labor Sustained Pre-Hispanic Fields in La Mojana
A vast network of pre-Hispanic earthworks in Colombia’s La Mojana region is challenging the long-standing idea that ancient societies transformed wetlands through short-lived, environmentally damaging...
Eco-Nanozymology Unites Catalysis, Energy, Environment, and Ecology
Scientists in China have proposed a new framework that could reshape how catalytic materials are designed for the planet’s most urgent challenges. Called eco-nanozymology, the...
