Nerve-blocking therapy improves growth plate repair in injured bones

With the support of National Institutes of Health funding, Johns Hopkins Medicine investigators, led by pathologist Aaron W. James, M.D., Ph.D., previously discovered that sensory neurons in skeletal tissue are constantly sensing their environment and are quick to respond to injuries.

Ketamine boosts neuroplasticity through microglia in female brains

Doctors use ketamine on patients as general anesthesia before surgery. They also prescribe it in low doses for pain management, and more recently, it's been used for treatment-resistant depression where other drugs have failed.

Two heart nerve cell types sustain cardiac stability in mice

Researchers identified two major intrinsic cardiac neuron populations in mice: Npy-positive neurons regulate parasympathetic heart rate control and support coronary perfusion, while Ddah1-positive neurons help maintain electrical stability during extreme stress. Removing Npy-positive neurons caused fatal cardiac failure, whereas loss of Ddah1-positive neurons increased susceptibility to malignant arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest under stress.

Study suggests lipid droplet accumulation is a conserved feature of senescent cells

A new research paper was published in Volume 18 of Aging on July 1, 2026, titled "Senescent cells accumulate lipid droplets."

Engineered ribozyme repairs broken RNA to explain origins of life

In most modern cells, DNA stores the genetic blueprint, and relies on proteins to replicate, repair and build from those blueprints.

New bionic skin wound dressing accelerates infected tissue healing

Dressings face a critical limitation: no single product has successfully integrated protective function, wearing comfort, and efficient antibacterial activity.

Advanced synthetic grafting material fights bone cancer and prevents infection

Primary bone tumors, such as osteosarcoma, have seen stagnant survival rates over the past four decades. Surgical removal of the tumor is critical, but local recurrence may occur when tumours are close to vital structures, often resulting in amputation.

Memory B cells reveal how nasal vaccines could stop respiratory infections earlier

A Science Immunology Review explains how memory B cells acquire diverse molecular, epigenetic, and tissue-specific programs that shape long-term immune protection. It highlights lung-resident memory B cells as a key target for mucosal vaccines, potentially improving control of airborne infections and reducing transmission.
