Research from a team at University of Michigan reveals that for Ce. elegans worms, the presence of dead members of their species has profound behavioral and physiological effects, leading them to more quickly reproduce and shortening their lifespans.

A team at Gladstone Institutes has unveiled a powerful computational tool, called CellWalker2, that allows scientists to determine how cell types are related and identify cell groupings that may impact health, leading to a better understanding of the cells they’re studying.

U of A Cancer Center researchers hope to image nerve endings and create objective, quantitative biomarkers for CIPN, leading to better treatment and prevention opportunities.

Radboudumc researchers and international collaborators analyzed cerebrospinal fluid from over 1,000 tuberculous meningitis patients in Vietnam and Indonesia, identifying metabolic markers linked to mortality. They found that ten metabolites, especially hydroxylated fatty acids, predicted poor outcomes regardless of HIV status or disease severity. The findings highlight dysregulated β-oxidation as a key factor in disease progression, pointing to new directions for targeted therapies.
