MERLIN algorithm unlocks immune cell location memory in organs

A new AI-based method reconstructs spatial information about where immune cells were originally located in an organ, even after these cells have been removed from the tissue and analyzed individually.

ATP delivery fixes dysfunctional dopamine packaging in Parkinson's neurons

A new study shows how dysfunctional packaging of the neurotransmitter dopamine triggers toxic processes in neurons - and how this can be repaired with simple delivery of energy (ATP).

A new standard for preventing post-surgery kidney cancer relapse

Patients with a common form of kidney cancer called clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) who have a high risk of recurrence after surgery showed significantly improved disease-free survival when treated with an oral combination regimen that includes belzutifan, a HIF-2α inhibitor, given with standard immune therapy pembrolizumab.

Investigating microglia’s role in Alzheimer’s pathology

Announcing a new article publication for BIO Integration journal. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder and the leading cause of dementia worldwide. Microglia, as central nervous system (CNS) resident macrophages, are key to AD pathology. Indeed, microglia aggregation around amyloid-β (Aβ) deposits is an AD hallmark.

How zinc deficiency could worsen heart inflammation and what that means for patients

This review examines how zinc regulates inflammatory and redox signaling pathways involved in myocarditis and pericarditis, highlighting mechanisms such as NF-κB inhibition and the redox zinc switch. The authors conclude that maintaining optimal zinc status may support cardiovascular resilience, while emphasizing that clinical translation requires further targeted trials.
