New ESC guidelines prioritize women's autonomy in high-risk pregnancies

Updated ESC Guidelines, published today at ESC Congress 2025, put a focus on a woman's autonomy in making her own reproductive choices by promoting a transparent dialogue and shared decision-making for pregnancies that are high-risk for an adverse maternal and/or fetal event.

Discovery of mitochondrial microprotein opens path to obesity and aging therapies

Like bees breathing life into gardens, providing pollen and making flowers blossom, little cellular machines called mitochondria breathe life into our bodies, buzzing with energy as they produce the fuel that powers each of our cells.

New mouse models reveal mechanisms of RP59 retinal degeneration

Retinitis pigmentosa retinal degeneration is caused by a family of hereditary mutations in nearly 100 genes that slowly lead to blindness over years or decades.

Transcription factors SP5 and SP8 regulate primary cilia formation in embryos

Some might say it looks like a finger. Others might see a worm. Scientists in the field often liken it to an antenna.

KAIST researchers develop universal technology to restore altered gene networks

Previously, research on controlling gene networks has been carried out based on a single stimulus-response of cells. More recently, studies have been proposed to precisely analyze complex gene networks to identify control targets.

Alzheimer’s research uncovers a new therapeutic pathway for the memory-robbing malady

The gut contains the largest collection of immune cells in the body. New research at the Buck Institute shows that some of those immune cells travel along the brain/gut axis in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) providing a potential new therapeutic pathway for the memory-robbing malady.

Male and female bovine embryos show distinct development paths

Cornell researchers have uncovered the genetic triggers that cause male and female bovine embryos to develop differently, as early as seven to eight days after fertilization.

Hormonal birth control influences emotion and memory in women

Hormonal birth control is a fact of life for millions of women. In the U.S. alone, more than 60 million women of reproductive age have used contraceptives according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most often to prevent pregnancy but also to manage conditions such as endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome and irregular cycles.

Inherited DNA changes can cause hormone imbalance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Increased testosterone levels are a consistent hormonal abnormality in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This study identified specific DNA variants in the gene DENND1A, which increase testosterone production in PCOS.

Researchers identify genetic toolkit to reprogram cells into immune sentinels

An international team led by researchers at Lund University in Sweden has identified the molecular tools needed to reprogram ordinary cells into specialized immune cells.

Disrupting protein quality control slows tumor growth in pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma

A new research paper was published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on August 29, 2025, titled "In vivo manipulation of the protein homeostasis network in rhabdomyosarcoma."

Two-stage pimple patch eliminates acne in seven days

Waking up with a pimple is no longer cause for panic, thanks to pimple patches - small, sticker-like bandages that cover and help heal the unwanted zit.

New study reveals how child neglect impacts critical brain pathways

When we think of child abuse, physical violence or emotional cruelty often comes to mind first. However, the most common form of maltreatment is actually much quieter: neglect.

Daily use of low-dose colchicine may slow growth of blood mutations linked to disease

Taking low-dose colchicine daily may slow the progression of a common acquired gene mutation found in the blood of older adults that can lead to certain blood cancers and increased risk of cardiovascular disease, according to a subanalysis of the LoDoCo2 trial published in JACC, the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology, and simultaneously presented at ESC Congress 2025.

Glycosylation emerges as a key player in kidney disease progression

Kidney diseases affect nearly 700 million people worldwide and are a growing cause of mortality and health care costs.

Predictable music phrases found to regulate blood pressure

A new study has found that blood pressure synchronises to predictable phrase structures in music. Blood pressure was more affected by loudness than tempo and was more strongly influenced by phrase structures that were more predictable.

Clonogenic hepatocytes identified as engines of liver development

In a new study published in the Journal of Hepatology, researchers from the San Raffaele Telethon Institute for Gene Therapy (SR-Tiget) show that only 15–20% of hepatocytes in newborn mice - dubbed clonogenic hepatocytes - are responsible for generating over 90% of the adult liver mass.

Inflammation marker can help identify heart risk in women without traditional factors

Cardiologists have long known that up to half of all heart attacks and strokes occur among apparently healthy individuals who do not smoke and do not have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes, the "standard modifiable risk factors" which doctors often call "SMuRFs."

Signaling mechanisms driving olfactory neurogenesis in zebrafish

Cellular differentiation of stem cells into specialized cells requires many steps, including division, to create more cells; fate determination, which is a commitment to a specific lineage or developmental path; and migration, to integrate the cell into its final location.

Healthy gut bacteria capsules show long-term benefits for obese teenagers

Can a capsule of healthy gut bugs change the future of obesity treatment? New findings from the University of Auckland’s Liggins Institute suggest it might.
