Regular follow-up is necessary after endovascular aneurysm repair to detect possible endoleaks. In a recent breakthrough, researchers from Hanyang University have recently developed a novel ultrathin, flexible, wireless, and implantable sensor for continuous monitoring of blood leakage. Their technology has the potential to become the new standard of care for aneurysm treatment, enabling timely intervention and highly enhanced postoperative outcomes. 

A study published in the International Journal of Oral Science reveals that the PLAGL1-IGF2 axis plays a vital role in postnatal jaw development. Using a mouse model, researchers showed that PLAGL1 regulates osteoblast differentiation in cranial neural crest cell-derived condyles. Deficiency in PLAGL1 disrupts bone formation, but treatment with IGF2 can rescue this effect. These findings provide new insights into craniofacial development and potential therapeutic targets for mandibular disorders.

A team of researchers from Tel Aviv University and the Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research Institute (IOLR) has conducted the first comprehensive ecological–biotechnological seaweed survey in Israel.

Programmed cell death (PCD) plays a central role in the development of multiple systemic diseases. In a recent review, researchers from China examined how Z-DNA binding protein 1 (ZBP1) regulates PCD and influences disease progression. They summarized the molecular mechanisms controlling ZBP1-mediated cell death, discussed interacting molecules and signaling pathways, and highlighted the potential of targeting ZBP1 as a therapeutic strategy for treating related pathological conditions.
