Researchers develop a novel approach to monitor CD8⁺ T cell activity over time
The ability of immune cells-particularly CD8+ T cells-to launch a rapid burst of proliferation inside tumors is key…
GLP-1 receptor agonists linked to altered patterns on FDG PET-CT scans
The growing use of GLP-1 receptor agonists may affect the interpretation of oncological FDG PET-CT scans, new research…
Paternal exercise enhances offspring endurance through sperm microRNAs

Engineered CAR T cells show promise against solid tumors
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, which uses a patient’s own immune cells to fight cancer, has…
Calcium-induced release identified as key driver of dangerous muscle disorders
Researchers engineered mice with a mutation (E3896A) in the RyR1 calcium-binding site, eliminating calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) without…
Genetic modification enhances “living drugs” for blood cancers
CAR T cells are patient-derived, genetically engineered immune cells. They are “living drugs” and constitute a milestone in…
Study provides new insights into the mechanisms of fetal membrane healing
When a pregnant woman’s water breaks too early, it often leads to preterm birth, with no effective method…
Scientists unveil new obesity drug that reprograms fat and energy use
Details of a new drug that aims to treat the underlying causes of obesity are being presented at…
Long COVID linked to heavier periods and symptom flare-ups during menstruation
New evidence shows long COVID may intensify bleeding and trigger phase-specific symptom surges, revealing hidden hormonal and immune…
Exercise found to reduce artery hardening after weight loss in adults with obesity
Maintaining weight loss with regular exercise rather than the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) liraglutide, a drug used…
Genetic study shows dual GIPR/GLP1R action curbs binge alcohol use
New genetic evidence suggests that targeting GIPR and GLP1R could reduce harmful drinking patterns while improving liver and…
Novel vitamin K analogs show promise for reversing neurodegenerative diseases
Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s disease are characterized by the progressive loss of neurons. The resulting…
