SGLT2 inhibitors reduce inflammatory cells linked to heart disease

For the first time in a human trial, a class of drugs known as sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, already known for their weight loss and glucose lowering benefits, has been shown to also reduce inflammatory cells in the blood known to cause cardiovascular disease.

Physics-guided framework doubles digital pathology resolution for cancer screening

Digital pathology relies on high-resolution imaging for accurate cancer diagnosis, yet high-magnification systems remain slow and costly for large-scale screening.

Psilocybin protects sensory nerves from chemotherapy damage in preclinical study

In mouse models, prophylactic psilocybin prevented or reduced multiple features of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, with cycle-matched dosing sustaining protection during repeated cisplatin exposure without measurably affecting tumor growth. Experiments in human-derived sensory neurons and ex vivo peripheral nerves linked the effect to 5-HT2A-dependent preservation of mitochondrial trafficking and local axonal energy supply, while a nonhallucinogenic 5-HT2A agonist reproduced protection against mechanical hypersensitivity.

Engineered immune cells help eliminate severe bacterial infections effectively

Severe bacterial infections remain a major global health challenge because antibiotics alone often fail when the host immune system becomes dysfunctional.

Scientists discover hidden cell network driving rapid intestinal renewal

Your intestine completely rebuilds its inner lining every few days—one of the fastest renewal processes in the human body.

Dysregulation of immune regulator NF-κB drives major human diseases

NF‑κB controls genes involved in inflammation, immunity, cell survival, and proliferation. Triggered by cytokines (TNF‑α, IL‑1β), microbial products, or cellular stress, it translocates to the nucleus and induces pro‑inflammatory mediators.

Collagen exists as liquid droplets inside living cells, study reveals

Collagen, the protein that builds skin, bones, tendons and organs, exists inside cells as a liquid-like droplet rather than the long, rigid rod seen in textbooks over the last half century, according to a new study from the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona.

Cell division failure pathway determines fate after genome duplication

A new study shows that how a cell fails to divide after copying its DNA can determine its fate.

Study reveals pearling mechanism behind mitochondrial DNA spacing

Mitochondria are often described as the cell's power plants, because they generate energy. To help them achieve this, mitochondria carry their own small genome called mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).

Using blood proteins to make living brains transparent

Making a living brain transparent and watching its neurons fire without disturbing their function-sounds like science fiction, doesn't it? Yet the solution may already exist within our own bodies.

Decoding the neighborhood dynamics of childhood brain cancer

New research published in Nature finds that tumor cells within supratentorial ependymomas (SE) – an aggressive childhood brain cancer – cluster into distinct tumor cell populations. Much like a neighborhood in your hometown, each cell subtype within these "communities" has a specific (and previously unappreciated) role to play.

New catalog identifies dozens of plasma membrane repair proteins

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point.

Mapping the evolution of AI in organelle segmentation

In organelle imaging, segmentation aims to accurately delineate pixels or voxels corresponding to target organelles from background, noise, and other cellular structures in microscopy images, thereby generating masks suitable for quantitative analysis. Robust segmentation is foundational to downstream quantification, including morphological characterization, spatial distribution analysis, temporal trajectory tracking, and the detection of key biological events.
