Minary's UT Dallas group cut the post-print chemistry from as much as 100 hours to under 30 minutes, exposing the step that actually gates ceramic 3D printing.
Gladstone Institutes researchers trace APOE4's early effect on memory neurons to a single regulatory brain protein, Nell2, and point to a pre-symptomatic intervention window in mice.
A new 34-study meta-analysis finds that stem cell-derived vesicles, the cell-free particles stem cells use to signal each other, strongly protect cartilage in animals. Standardization, not biology, is what blocks the clinic.
Trinity College Dublin and University College Dublin researchers find beta-glucan, sold as a supplement, retrained immune cells to fight three cancer types, but only in animals.
The piezoelectric thread turns mechanical strain into an electrical signal while a plant-derived anti-inflammatory calms the immune response. So far, only in rodent skin and muscle.
A 14-expert Delphi consensus panel adapted the NIH's 7 principles for autonomous AI — and split on 4 questions it could not bridge.
UC Irvine team builds brain organoids with a defined front or back identity, then uses them to show fragile X disrupts the early cortex's molecular map.
A PNAS paper in female mice suggests semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, recruits the brain's hunger-promoting neurons to maintain fat loss, pointing drug designers toward a maintenance target rather than an appetite switch.
An ASU-led Cell Press Blue study of 4,000 people finds 'sentinel antibodies' already in the blood can forecast who mounts a strong response, though no clinical test exists yet.
Columbia's chip, built from a patient's own stem cells, is the first model of the colonization step, the phase of metastasis where most cancer drugs have failed.
Mouse study finds lymph node-like hubs in skull bone marrow that respond to brain cancer before the body's distant lymph nodes are alerted.
