INTEGRA's PIPETBOY GENIUS provides superior ergonomics and liquid control for cell culture
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Munich, Germany, use 4 PIPETBOY GENIUS serological pipet controllers from INTEGRA Biosciences to streamline their cell culture workflows.
Study clarifies how amylin receptors respond to drugs
Amylin, a hormone that controls appetite and blood sugar by activating three different receptors in the brain, could be the basis for the next blockbuster obesity drugs.
SNAP25 identified as key to sour taste perception and cell survival
The tongue contains numerous taste buds-tiny sensory organs responsible for detecting taste. Taste buds consist of specialized cells that translate chemical stimuli into neural signals.
Extreme weather events put children’s brains and mental health at risk, researchers warn
Extreme weather events are increasingly recognized as adverse childhood experiences (E-ACEs) that disrupt brain development, stress regulation, and long-term health. Researchers warn that children, especially in low- and middle-income countries, face lifelong mental and physical health risks without urgent resilience-building interventions.
Physician retention in New York reaches highest level in nearly a decade
The percentage of physicians who go on to practice in New York State after completing their residency training continues to climb.
Review finds coffee linked to longer life and lower disease risk
A new review highlights that coffee consumption is consistently linked to reduced risks of death, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and some cancers, while also supporting mental and physical well-being. It also cautions on intake during pregnancy and when sugar or cream are added.
School connectedness protects adolescents from depression linked to bullying
School connectedness buffers against depression symptoms associated with being a victim of peer bullying in adolescence, according to a study published in BMC Public Health.
Dengue antibody may block the spread of Zika virus in vulnerable areas of the body
A new study from the University of Alabama at Birmingham reveals that an antibody originally designed to fight dengue virus may also block the spread of Zika virus in vulnerable areas of the body - including the reproductive organs.
Scientists link gut microbes to stronger muscles and healthier aging
Researchers discovered that gut microbes, including Lactobacillus reuteri and L. johnsonii, can enhance muscle strength in aging mice. Co-administration of these strains boosted muscle mass, performance, and reduced inflammation, pointing to a possible microbiome-based strategy for muscle health.
Impaired blood flow alters immunity and fuels tumor progression
Cutting off blood flow can prematurely age the bone marrow, weakening the immune system's ability to fight cancer, according to a new study from NYU Langone Health.
Patient's own cartilage cells from surgery offer hope for hip repair
Researchers at the University of Missouri are on a mission to help patients recover from hip surgery with less pain, and they may have found an innovative solution: using the patient's own cartilage cells.
COVID-19 ages arteries prematurely with women most affected
COVID-19 may leave arteries biologically “older,” with women showing more persistent stiffness and symptom links than men. Findings from the large CARTESIAN cohort suggest this vascular aging effect is partly reversible over time.
Community exercise helps older adults maintain fitness and strength
Older adults who regularly participated in a community-based exercise program were able to slow - and in many cases reverse - declines in cardio fitness and strength that naturally come with age, a new McMaster study shows.
Researchers gain better understanding of how nerve cells can be protected against ALS
By analyzing millions of messenger RNA molecules (mRNA) during the course of ALS, researchers at Stockholm University, in collaboration with scientists at the Paris Brain Institute and Örebro University, have identified why certain nerve cells are resistant to the disease and what happens in the sensitive nerve cells when they are affected.
Young adults with bipolar disorder show signs of early heart dysfunction
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of premature deaths in patients with bipolar disorder worldwide.
Radio waves offer new hope for improving sense of smell
Our sense of smell is more important than we often realize. It helps us enjoy food, detect danger like smoke or gas leaks, and even affects memory and emotion.
HPV16 reprograms immune cells to weaken cancer defenses
The most common cancer-causing strain of human papillomavirus (HPV), HPV16, undermines the body's defenses by reprogramming immune cells surrounding the tumor, according to new research from the Keck School of Medicine of USC.
Study finds link between epigenetic aging and colorectal cancer risk in postmenopausal women
A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 7 of Aging (Aging-US) on July 7, 2025, titled "Epigenetic age and accelerated aging phenotypes: a tumor biomarker for predicting colorectal cancer."
Research shows synergistic effects of tunicamycin and β-lactam antibiotics against gram-positive bacteria
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance is increasing among gram-positive bacteria, particularly the resistance of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) to β-lactam antibiotics.
Self-tracking empowers Long COVID patients amid medical dismissal
Despite the increasing recognition of Long COVID as a condition, many patients still face dismissal by medical professionals, misattribution of their symptoms to psychological causes, or simply being left to fend for themselves.
