Study provides new insights into brain signaling during sleep and wakefulness

An international team led by the University of Michigan has introduced new methods that reveal which regions of the brain were active throughout the day with single-cell resolution.

Study shines new light on how cancer avoids the mitotic stopwatch pathway

When cell division (mitosis) takes too long, it can be a sign that something is wrong with the cells, for example DNA damage or chromosomal instability.

Mammary glands of domesticated livestock and humans could harbor avian influenza

An ongoing outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza has affected more than 184 million domestic poultry since 2022 and, since making the leap to dairy cattle in spring 2024, more than 1,000 milking cow herds.

A slow-growing, bone-covered, noncancerous mass named as ossifying spindled and epithelioid tumor

It's not often that a pathologist gets to make a diagnosis that works for the patient by preventing treatment from occurring.

Study shines light on how P2X4 receptor can be inhibited

A study carried out by the University of Bonn and the University Hospital Bonn throws light on how an important receptor can be inhibited.

Machine learning tool identifies compounds that induce cancer cells into senescence

A new research paper featured on the cover of Volume 17, Issue 11 of Aging-US was published on October 30, 2025, titled "SAMP-Score: a morphology-based machine learning classification method for screening pro-senescence compounds in p16 positive cancer cells."

Tiny metal particles can kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed

An international research team led by RMIT University have created tiny particles, known as nanodots, made from a metallic compound that can kill cancer cells while leaving healthy cells largely unharmed.

Researchers uncover how a key transcription factor reads DNA in human cells

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells.

New imaging method reveals nanodomains inside ALS-linked protein droplets

Inside the cell reside many tiny assembly factories and warehouses that gather together all of the proteins and RNAs-which carry out instructions from our DNA-that a living being needs.

Study overturns assumptions about PTPN22 risk gene’s role in interferon production

A new paper from the University of Kansas overturns the idea that a "risk gene" carried by millions of people worldwide influences production of Type 1 interferon, a workhorse of the immune system.

New funding advances AI-powered technology to track therapeutic and diseased cells

Targeting and treating diseases first requires being able to find specific cells-which is challenging because they travel within the body and can "hide."

Automated system relies on imaging droplets of biofluids for disease diagnosis

Not long ago, the idea of diagnosing a disease with a droplet of blood was considered a pipe dream. Today, this technology could soon become a reality.

AI analysis of biopsy slides predicts rectal cancer treatment response

Artificial intelligence (AI) can predict how well patients with rectal cancer will respond to treatment by analyzing standard tissue samples taken during diagnosis, finds a new study from researchers at UCL and UCLH.

Generative AI tool enhances accuracy in detecting abnormal blood cells

An AI tool that can analyze abnormalities in the shape and form of blood cells, and with greater accuracy and reliability than human experts, could change the way conditions such as leukemia are diagnosed.

Hiiragi group and Prevedel group collaborate with Prospective Instruments to pioneer intravital multiphoton microscopy for early embryo research

Prof. Takashi Hiiragi (Hubrecht Institute), Dr. Robert Prevedel (European Molecular Biology Laboratory), and Dr. Lukas Krainer (Prospective Instruments) have launched an interdisciplinary collaboration to develop a novel intravital microscopy platform for studying mammalian embryo implantation.

Hard water drives a surge in microplastic shedding from polyester, study finds

Researchers found that hand-washing in mineral-rich water dramatically increases microplastic fibre shedding from polyester fabrics, fragmenting fibres into shorter pieces. A two-layer PDMS coating sharply reduced shedding from green polyester but was far less effective on black polyester due to pre-existing surface finishes.

Potential breakthrough in treating acute kidney injury with ceramide-targeting drugs

Serious damage to short-term kidney function-known as acute kidney injury, or AKI-can be fatal and also increase the risk of irreversible chronic kidney disease. It can be triggered by stressors ranging from sepsis to heart surgery, and it affects more than half of ICU patients.

Utah researchers uncover microglia as key regulators of anxiety in the brain

Anxiety disorders are some of the most common mental health conditions in America, affecting about one in five people nationwide.

Condensate-based strategy protects synthetic gene circuits across cell generations

Genetic engineers can design and assemble sophisticated gene circuits to program cells with new functions, but important signaling molecules can become diluted as these cells grow and divide, causing the synthetic gene circuits to lose their new functions.
