Scientists discover how two distinct genes guide regeneration of sensory cells in zebrafish

While humans can regularly replace certain cells, like those in our blood and gut, we cannot naturally regrow most other parts of the body. For example, when the tiny sensory hair cells in our inner ears are damaged, the result is often permanent hearing loss, deafness, or balance problems.

Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals in early life linked to cravings for sugary and fatty foods

Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals in early life, including during gestation and infancy, results in a higher preference for sugary and fatty foods later in life, according to an animal study being presented Sunday at ENDO 2025, the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in San Francisco, Calif.

Is fruit juice good or bad for diabetes? New research reveals a genetic twist

Japanese adults with a high genetic risk for type 2 diabetes who consumed 100% fruit juice at least once per week had significantly lower odds of developing the disease. The inverse association was not seen in people with low or moderate genetic risk, highlighting gene-diet interactions.

Shen-Bai-Jie-Du decoction inhibits colorectal tumorigenesis by targeting immunosuppressive dendritic cells

This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how single-cell RNA sequencing reveals that Shen-Bai-Jie-Du decoction retards colorectal tumorigenesis by regulating the TMEM131-TNF signaling pathway-mediated differentiation of immunosuppressive dendritic cells.

New insights into how cells silence dangerous genomic elements

An international research team led by Freiburg biologists Dr. Wenjing Qi and Prof. Ralf Baumeister has discovered how the LINE1 retrotransposon exploits a cell protein to become active itself, as occurs in tumors.

Uncovering the hidden architecture of the genome in three dimensions

In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be helpful for learners to begin with the linear presentation of how stretches of DNA form genes, this oversimplification undersells the significance of the genome's 3D structure.

Scientists identify key role of T-bet in flu memory B cells

At the surface, the immune response to a flu virus is simple. Some cells recognize the pathogen and send a signal to the immune system, and immune cells produce a potentially lifesaving antibody against the virus. Antigen in, antibody out.

Genetic links between type 2 diabetes and subcortical brain structure revealed

Recently, the team led by Chief Physician Quan Zhang and Associate Professor Feng Liu at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital systematically evaluated the genetic associations between type 2 diabetes mellitus and subcortical brain structures using large-scale genome-wide association summary statistics and advanced statistical genetic methods.

Egr-1 gene identified as crucial regulator of regulatory T cells in multiple sclerosis

Autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), affect millions of people worldwide.

New discovery uncovers hidden drivers of DNA transcription errors

Every living cell must interpret its genetic code - a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions.

Fasting triggers neuroprotective changes that could delay dementia

Intermittent fasting could be a neuroprotective strategy, improving gut-brain axis function and reducing inflammation linked to neurodegenerative diseases.

Weight loss wipes out senescent fat cells but leaves immune scars, study finds

Researchers have mapped human fat tissue at single-cell resolution, uncovering how obesity alters cellular stress, inflammation, and tissue structure. Weight loss reverses much of this damage, especially senescence in fat and vascular cells, but leaves some immune dysfunction behind.

Does pomegranate seed oil really help your heart? New research weighs the evidence

This review explores the potential of punicic acid in pomegranate seed oil as a nutraceutical for cardiovascular health. While preclinical evidence is promising, robust human trials are needed to confirm its benefits.

Scientists discover pathway linking physical pain to emotional suffering

Pain isn't just a physical sensation-it also carries emotional weight. That distress, anguish, and anxiety can turn a fleeting injury into long-term suffering.

New molecule linked to muscle loss in people with type 2 diabetes

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered a previously unknown molecule that may explain why people with type 2 diabetes often suffer from muscle weakness and muscle loss - a condition that has a major impact on quality of life and overall health.
