Exercise-induced angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis offer promising anti-aging benefits by improving vascular and immune system function. A review from researchers in China found that exercise activates key molecular pathways boosting blood and lymphatic vessel growth, which enhances tissue repair and metabolic regulation. This approach may serve as a therapeutic strategy to counteract age-related decline and diseases, with potential for personalized exercise interventions improving health and longevity.
Water is everywhere – it covers the major part of Earth, circulates in the human body, and is found even in the smallest molecular clefts. However, what happens if water cannot flow freely, but is enclosed in such structures? Researchers of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Constructor University in Bremen proved for the first time that enclosed water can influence its surroundings and favors binding between molecules. This discovery could open new paths for the design of drugs and new materials. The researchers report on their findings in the International Edition of the “Angewandte Chemie” journal.

Tuberculosis is one of the world's leading infectious diseases. Infection with the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis primarily affects the lungs, but in up to 25 percent of all infected individuals, it also affects other parts of the body, such as the lymph nodes, bones, or brain. In a study published today in the renowned journal Nature Communications, researchers from the German Center for Infection Research (DZIF), the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), the University Hospital Cologne, and the LIMES Institute at the University of Bonn have deciphered the immunological properties of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) in the blood of affected patients. The results may help to develop new targeted treatments and tests for this important disease.
