Scientists from the University of Virginia and EMBL have uncovered a surprising adaptation in yeast cells that helps them hibernate under nutrient stress, shedding new light on cancer cells’ ability to survive during nutrient shortages. This discovery could pave the way for innovative treatments that make cancer cells more vulnerable to starvation and easier to target.

Healthcare leaders Iqvia, Illumina and Mayo Clinic, as well as Arc Institute, are using the latest Nvidia technologies to develop solutions that will help advance human health.

The European Society of Cardiology supports the Council Recommendations on smoke- and aerosol-free environments which was debated in the European Parliament. The ESC also highlighted several factors that could convince policymakers to support the Recommendations.

Researchers have developed Tetris, a revolutionary technology, that is capable of capturing the diversity of protein interactions on site to inform accurate cancer diagnoses, enabling the personalization of ensuing treatments.

Glioblastoma is an incurable and fatal type of brain cancer. In a large-scale drug screening, the antidepressant Vortioxetine emerged as one of the most effective agents against these types of cancer cells. Clinical trials are already in the planning phase at the University Hospital Zurich.

MIT researchers have developed biodegradable particles that could replace harmful plastic microbeads in beauty products and beyond. These innovative materials break down into harmless sugars and amino acids, offering safer alternatives for cleansers and cosmetics.

Global plastic waste could nearly double by 2050 without intervention, a new machine learning study warns. However, simulations show that a combination of policies — such as production caps, recycling mandates, and infrastructure investments — could slash plastic waste by over 90 % and cut plastics-related emissions by a third.

Broadband Infrared Diagnostics, a company that explores novel routes to early cancer detection with femto- and attosecond metrologies, reports on using the SPL Guard Arizona in their lab to make the thawing of sample more efficient and ultra-fast.

Scientists have developed a system that allows for precise, on-demand control of cell division outside living organisms. Using a molecular switch to toggle critical proteins, researchers can now fast-forward and rewind the complex choreography of cell division, offering unprecedented insights into cellular mechanics.

A study from New York University reveals that memory formation isn’t limited to the brain — cells throughout the body can 'remember,' too. This research shows non-brain cells can learn from spaced intervals, much like neurons.
