New Tfr cell model uncovers molecular switches that restrain antibody responses
For the immune system to effectively combat pathogens, antibody responses must be precisely controlled. So-called follicular regulatory T cells (Tfr cells) play a key role in this process by limiting excessive immune responses and helping to maintain immune tolerance. Researchers
Forcing cancer cells to die can alert the immune system to enhance anti-tumor attack
Unlike accidental cell death, some cells can actively decide to die through a controlled process. This is called programmed cell death and can occur in different forms, including apoptosis and necroptosis. Cells use this process when they are damaged, stressed, becoming cancerous

Forget GLP-1s—GLP-3s show promise in phase 3 weight loss and diabetes trial
Phase 3 clinical trial results (TRANSCEND-T2D-1) published in The Lancet report that retatrutide, an investigational once-weekly injection for diabetes management, can significantly improve blood sugar levels and lead to substantial weight loss in people with Type 2 diabetes. The
Remote-controlled cockroach swarm can now breathe underwater
Tiny 3D-printed diving suits allow cockroaches to walk underwater for up to 3 hours with no ill effects, which could enable a cyborg insect swarm to explore disaster zones and perhaps even Mars
