Targeting SRSF7 offers potential therapy for pulmonary fibrosis
This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how SRSF7 promotes pulmonary fibrosis through regulating PKM alternative splicing in lung fibroblasts.
How a simple blood test can forecast future health risks
Plasma proteomics reveals that the biological ages of key organs, especially the brain and immune system, strongly predict the risk of future disease and early death. These organ-specific “clocks” provide a new tool for identifying those at highest risk and personalizing preventive care.
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.
How hydrogels are shaping the future of targeted cancer drug delivery
A large-scale bibliometric analysis maps global research on hydrogels as next-generation drug delivery systems for cancer therapy. The study highlights emerging trends, key contributors, and future directions to advance precision medicine in oncology.
Pasta gets a protein upgrade with eco-friendly cricket flour
Cricket flour is rich in protein, essential minerals, and healthy fats, offering a sustainable boost to the nutritional quality of wheat pasta. Adding just 10% cricket flour to pasta significantly improves nutrient content and meets daily amino acid requirements while ensuring food safety.
Finland maintains world-leading neonatal outcomes despite falling birth rates
Finland remains a world-leader in neonatal care, despite the country's falling birth rate and, consequently, a decline in hospital delivery volumes, according to three recent studies from the University of Eastern Finland.
Understanding resistance to EGFR targeted therapies in head and neck cancers and breast cancer
A new review was published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on June 25, 2025, titled "Challenges and resistance mechanisms to EGFR targeted therapies in head and neck cancers and breast cancer: Insights into RTK dependent and independent mechanisms."
Psychological stress drives ovarian tumor metastasis through NR3C1 and NUPR1
This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how a psychological stress-activated NR3C1/NUPR1 axis promotes ovarian tumor metastasis.
New insights into neural replay and memory formation from flying bats
Every day, our brain takes countless fleeting experiences - from walks on the beach to presentations at work - and transforms them into long-term memories.
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.
Breakthrough research uncovers multiple autism subtypes with unique traits
Researchers at Princeton University and the Simons Foundation have identified four clinically and biologically distinct subtypes of autism, marking a transformative step in understanding the condition's genetic underpinnings and potential for personalized care.
Lower body temperature found to directly influence glucose metabolism in mice
Some mammals are capable of hibernating during periods of low food availability in an effort to conserve energy and survive.
Sticky cell coating boosts liver repair without the need for transplants
A new process could help to treat liver disease without needing an organ transplant, a new study reveals.
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.
Genetic insights reveal new targets for treating extracranial arteriovenous malformations
Our genes underlie all aspects of life, from our looks to how our cells behave. This includes diseases, as genetic changes can underlie the development and progression of certain health problems.
Short-term exercise improves liver health by modulating amino acid metabolism
Metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is an advanced and progressive liver disease that potentially causes cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Early skin-to-skin contact boosts breastfeeding in premature babies
More premature babies who had early skin-to-skin contact with their mother were being breastfed at the time of discharge from hospital and for up to one year afterwards. However, this is far from the only benefit.
Biological age of the brain emerges as a powerful predictor of longevity
The candles on your birthday cake don't tell the whole story. As anyone who ever attended a high-school reunion can tell you, some people age faster than others.
Does soup really work when you’re down with cold or flu?
A systematic review found that chicken-based and vegetable-enriched soups may modestly reduce the severity and duration of acute respiratory tract infections. However, stronger evidence is needed before soup can be recommended as a clinical treatment.
