Study reveals molecular control of tooth root formation and growth
Tooth root development relies on precise coordination of cellular signals, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Researchers have uncovered how two proteins, Gli2 and Gli3
Blood test may detect cognitive decline years before symptoms
A blood test could help identify people at higher risk of cognitive decline years before a traditional diagnosis is possible – according to University of
One year of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as HHS Secretary: The Lancet reacts, and so do I
Editors of The Lancet published an op-ed decrying RFK Jr.’s one year of failure at HHS. They’re correct about RFK Jr, but they are not
New blood tests for multiple cancers gain political backing
As new technology capable of detecting dozens of early-stage cancer types with a single blood test hits the market, support for its use is building.
Study reveals how extracellular matrix stiffness regulates breast cancer metastasis
A study by researchers at the University of California San Diego could make it easier to treat breast cancer by uncovering a new way the
Lung cancer scans can reveal signs of other undiagnosed cancers
When doctors review diagnostic medical scans for lung cancer, they sometimes spot abnormalities unrelated to the lungs.
Treating autonomic dysfunction can relieve symptoms of treatment-resistant depression
Consider a house with the water main half shut. The faucets sputter. The toilet runs all night. The garden wilts. You could call a plumber
Impaired lipid transport protein locks stressed cells into cellular limbo
When cells experience enough chronic stress, they can stop dividing permanently. In this state of cellular limbo, known as replicative senescence, cells remain alive but
New optogenetic method precisely controls marmoset brain communication pathways
Understanding how the brain works requires more than studying single regions in isolation. The cerebral cortex depends on long-distance connections that link specialized areas into
Mirror image proteins offer new way to disable Alzheimer’s disease
Understanding how proteins interact with their own mirror images enabled a Kobe University research team to design a small mirror protein that disables a causal
Scientists use living muscle to reanimate paralyzed organs
What if a technology could reanimate parts of the body that have lost their connection to the brain – like a bladder that can no
New genetic ‘roadmap’ advances precision therapy for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
The 1,341-gene signature for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma offers a framework for precise diagnosis and tailored therapies, addressing tumor heterogeneity.
Evacuated from Gaza as newborns, a group of Palestinian toddlers returns to an uncertain future
Eleven toddlers from Gaza are reuniting with their families after doctors evacuated them as premature newborns during blackouts at Shifa Hospital
