Research highlights how the gut microbiome can affect epigenetics

The trillions of microbes that live in the human gut may play a bigger role in health than previously thought, according to a new research by the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.

Study reveals how the brain narrows attention over time

How we focus our attention before we even see an object matters. For example, when we look for something moving in the sky, our expectation would be very different if the object is a bird flying past or a baseball coming straight at us.

Research shows different EML4-ALK variants drive lung cancer aggressiveness

About five percent of lung adenocarcinomas, one of the most common forms of lung cancer, are driven by a faulty fusion of two genes, EML4 and ALK.

Study reveals how a key spinal circuit shapes the choreography of sex

For decades, it was thought that while the brain orchestrated male sexual behaviour – arousal, courtship, and copulation – the spinal cord merely executed the final act: ejaculation.

Senescent cell subtypes do not respond equally to treatment, study shows

A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 8 of Aging-US on August 7, 2025, titled "Senescent cell heterogeneity and responses to senolytic treatment are related to cell cycle status during senescence induction."
