Scientists uncover two neuronal circuits orchestrating muscle autophagy

Autophagy is the process by which cells remove damaged proteins, recycle worn-out organelles (e.g., mitochondria), clear cellular waste and provide nutrients during stress. Autophagy is essential for muscles because they are constantly under mechanical stress. If autophagy is too

Oyster meat may provide a sustainable solution for intestinal inflammation

Ongoing research provides evidence that readily available and sustainable oyster meat extract may have powerful anti-inflammatory effects on human intestinal cells.

Tumor on a chip reveals how pancreatic cancer hijacks immune cells in real time

A new "tumor-on-a-chip" model is giving scientists a live look at how pancreatic cancer can recruit the body's own immune cells to help tumors survive. Researchers say the findings, published in Biofabrication, reveal possible new targets to weaken the cancer's defenses and make

Neuroscientists observe electrical signals in the soma and dendrites of living mice

The human brain contains billions of neurons, specialized nerve cells that communicate with each other via electrical and chemical signals. Every neuron is made up of its body (i.e., soma), where most cellular processes occur; a long projection called an axon that sends signals t

Key gut protein balances immune protection and tolerance

A protein produced by gut immune cells orchestrates both immune protection against pathogens and immune tolerance of gut bacteria, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The discovery illuminates the complex biology of the gut immune system and could le

Novel antibody-drug conjugate eliminates residual cancer cells in majority of patients wit

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center were able to eradicate measurable residual disease (MRD) in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients, a critical step in improving long-term survival outcomes, by treating them with the antibody-drug conju

Largest study yet reveals which cancers have their own microbiomes

For decades, cancer has been thought of as a purely human disease—rogue cells multiplying out of control, with no room for anything else in the picture. But a growing body of research suggests that isn't quite right. Some tumors, it turns out, come with company: communities of ba

How immune cells in our gut mesentery fight salmonella

Widely recognized as the face of food poisoning, salmonella bacteria lurk in raw meat and poultry, on pets, and in unpasteurized dairy products. If untreated, extreme cases can lead to full-body infections, like typhoid fever. UIC researcher Kiwook Kim wondered why some salmonell

Why does Parkinson's disease affect more men than women?

New research presented at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) Forum 2026 has discovered some of the genetic changes in brain cells that may help explain why more men than women develop Parkinson's disease.

Gut bacteria boost immune system, help send vitamin A to T cells

Scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered that gut bacteria help regulate the development of the body's immune system by directing the movement of vitamin A through a previously unrecognized cellular network. The preclinical findings, published in Cell Host & M

Scientists uncover how fungi 'blind' the immune system—offering new hope against superbugs

Researchers at the University of Sheffield have discovered that a fungus deadly to people with weakened immune systems can disable a critical defense used by neutrophils, the body's front-line, infection-fighting white blood cells.

Team discovers metabolic pathway in cell nucleus that helps cancer progress

A team at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a novel metabolic pathway that plays a key role in enabling cancer to progress through gene activation. In a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers show that shutting down the pat
