Microglia, the brain’s resident immune cells, are moving to the center of neuroscience as researchers seek to understand how they protect neural tissue, respond to...
A molecular investigation into a patient’s unexplained thrombocytopenia has uncovered evidence that the interleukin-33 pathway may play a more direct role in platelet production and...
A new study is putting two very different approaches to breast cancer risk assessment head to head, asking whether primary-care clinicians could identify more women...
Pancreatic cancer is often described as one of the most difficult cancers to detect and treat, but its danger is not explained by malignant cells...
A systematic review and meta-analysis published in Pediatric Research has examined how exposure to HIV during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding may be related to neurodevelopmental...
A long-standing assumption about intelligence is being challenged by a new perspective in neuroscience: the ability to combine familiar elements into novel, meaningful structures may...
Flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles are turning one of nature’s most efficient flight strategies into a new class of robotic technology. Inspired by birds, bees, and...
A new silicon photonic architecture could make optical convolution far denser and more adaptable, offering a potential path toward faster hardware for artificial intelligence, machine...
A burst of intense femtosecond laser light can make a semiconductor change its optical behavior almost instantaneously, according to a new study published in Light:...
A structured cat-training program for children with developmental disabilities produced measurable benefits for both sides of the human–animal relationship, according to a new study from...
Light sent through a seven-core optical fiber can spontaneously reorganize itself into a remarkably stable and evenly distributed pattern when the input power becomes high...
Transposable elements, once dismissed as genomic “junk,” are emerging as active regulators of cell identity, stress responses and disease. A new study published in Cell...
Genetic risk for autoimmune disease may be hiding in the spaces between genes. A study published in Nature Genetics has revealed how disease-associated DNA variants...
Antwerp, 4 August 2026 — The genome is often described as a linear sequence of DNA, but inside a living cell it behaves more like...
An Australian-first twin study is set to investigate why people with highly similar genetic backgrounds can respond very differently to infections, immune-mediated diseases and medical...
