    New Antibiotic Design Method Could Defeat Drug-Resistant Bacteria

    A research team at King's College London has unveiled a chemical redesign strategy that keeps antibiotics working inside bacterial cells, even against drug-resistant strains. The approach could breathe new life into existing antibiotics that bacteria have already learned to overcome.

  • New Glass Screen Boosts X-Ray Quality While Cutting Radiation

    New Glass Screen Boosts X-Ray Quality While Cutting Radiation

    A newly engineered glass screen converts x-rays into visible light more efficiently than ever before, delivering sharper images at lower radiation doses. The flexible material could also reshape mammography by conforming to a patient's body instead of compressing tissue.

  • Broccoli Compound May Help Repair Gut Damage in HIV Patients

    Broccoli Compound May Help Repair Gut Damage in HIV Patients

    Even when HIV is well controlled by medication, gut damage can linger and drive chronic inflammation. A new Tulane University study suggests that compounds found in everyday vegetables like broccoli may help restore the immune pathways responsible for repairing that damage.

  • Heart Attacks Reshape Brain Function, Study Finds New Link

    Heart Attacks Reshape Brain Function, Study Finds New Link

    Researchers at the University of Ottawa have identified a key molecular pathway through which heart attacks trigger neurological changes, including depression and anxiety. The culprit is a toxic byproduct called methylglyoxal, and a new therapy to block it is already in development.

  • Scientists Grow Larger, Nerve-Equipped Gut Organoids Twice as Fast

    Scientists Grow Larger, Nerve-Equipped Gut Organoids Twice as Fast

    Researchers at Cincinnati Children's have created a breakthrough method for producing large, nerve-equipped human gut organoids in half the time of previous techniques. The advance could accelerate transplant therapies for patients with damaged digestive organs.

  • Ultrasound May Improve Blood Flow, Study Finds

    Ultrasound May Improve Blood Flow, Study Finds

    Scientists at Kaunas University of Technology have found that low-frequency ultrasound waves can separate red blood cells and reduce blood viscosity — a discovery that could eventually support treatment for cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes and even cancer.

  • Northwestern’s Wearable Polygraph Detects Hidden Stress 24/7

    Northwestern’s Wearable Polygraph Detects Hidden Stress 24/7

    Northwestern University engineers have developed a lightweight, bandage-like device that monitors multiple physiological stress signals simultaneously. The wearable system could help clinicians detect stress in patients who can't communicate — including infants — and even flag when stress is impairing performance.

  • PCOS Renamed PMOS in Landmark Global Health Study

    PCOS Renamed PMOS in Landmark Global Health Study

    Polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition affecting more than 170 million people worldwide, has been officially renamed Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) in a landmark global study. Experts say the change will reshape how the condition is diagnosed, treated and understood.

  • APOE2 Gene Helps Neurons Repair DNA and Resist Brain Aging

    APOE2 Gene Helps Neurons Repair DNA and Resist Brain Aging

    Scientists have long known that people carrying the APOE2 gene variant live longer and face lower Alzheimer's risk — but not exactly why. A new study finally offers a biological explanation, and it could reshape how researchers think about preventing dementia.

  • Breast Cancer’s Slow-Ticking Cells May Explain Late Relapses

    Breast Cancer’s Slow-Ticking Cells May Explain Late Relapses

    Scientists at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have discovered that some breast cancer cells survive treatment by slowing their growth to near-imperceptible rates, quietly spreading to distant organs before triggering relapse years later. A newly identified cellular pathway could become a target for prevention.
