	A healthier thymus predicts longer life and lower cancer and heart disease risk in adults Imaging-based analysis of over 27,000 adults shows that better thymic health is strongly associated with lower all-cause mortality, reduced lung cancer risk, and improved cardiovascular outcomes. The findings suggest the thymus remains biologically relevant in adulthood, linking immune aging, inflammation, and chronic disease risk, although causality cannot be established.

	New approach tracks metabolic fingerprints of tuberculosis-infected human cells Researchers from King's College London and the University of Surrey have developed a new technique to measure the content of individual human cells infected with bacteria that model tuberculosis – and it is already revealing biological changes that conventional analysis would miss.

	New breath test could quickly diagnose bacterial infections Infectious diseases are a major cause of death worldwide, and diagnosing bacterial infections remains a challenge in medicine.

	Study uncovers how tuberculosis bacteria fuel themselves during infection Researchers at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) have uncovered how the bacteria that causes tuberculosis fuels itself during infection, providing new insights into one of the world's deadliest infectious diseases.

	Major UK clinical trial finds surfactant therapy ineffective for severe bronchiolitis A major UK-led clinical trial has found that a treatment commonly used to help premature babies breathe offers no benefit for infants on life support with severe bronchiolitis - a seasonal viral illness that hospitalizes thousands of babies each year.

	Scaffold-free muscle patches show promise for injury repair Traumatic muscle injury can be associated with volumetric muscle loss (VML), often leading to permanent functional loss.
