- A new DNA tagging workflow increases gene delivery to the nucleus by over tenfold, enabling more efficient and potentially safer gene therapy with reduced DNA doses. doi.org/hbnrdn
- Analysis of nearly 25,000 YouTube comments on wildlife videos shows that only 2% included calls to conservation action, highlighting significant untapped potential for improved conservation messaging.
- A new AI model analyzes unlabeled brain MRIs to predict brain age, dementia risk, tumor mutations, and cancer survival, demonstrating strong performance even with limited training data.
- Immune cells targeting Epstein-Barr virus are found in higher numbers in the central nervous system of people with multiple sclerosis, suggesting a possible link between the virus and MS development.
- A plasma-applied peppermint oil coating for medical devices demonstrates strong antibacterial properties and reduces inflammation without releasing drugs, potentially lowering infection risks. doi.org/hbnq92
- A supermassive black hole continues to emit an exceptionally powerful radio jet from a shredded star, with projections indicating the jet’s intensity may peak around 2027.
- Regular family dinners are linked to lower substance use among most adolescents, though this association is not observed in youth with high levels of childhood adversity. doi.org/hbnp77
- Biomolecular archaeology enables museums to recreate ancient scents, offering visitors a sensory experience that deepens understanding of historical environments and cultural practices.
- Nearly half of individuals with chronic fatigue syndrome in a recent pilot study showed evidence of Bartonella or Babesia infection, suggesting a potential link between these pathogens and ME/CFS symptoms. doi.org/hbnpmq
- Regular exposure to burn injuries throughout human history may have driven unique genetic adaptations in wound healing and immune response, distinguishing humans from other species.
