  • Personalized mobile health coaching offers new approach to preventing gestational diabetes in high-risk pregnancies
    on November 12, 2026 at 11:30 pm

    A continuous, personalized mobile health (mHealth) coaching program can significantly reduce gestational diabetes incidence among high-risk pregnant women, independent of changes to maternal weight—according to an international study published in the Lancet Digital Health.

  • Organ-on-chip shows how tumors interact with nerves and blood vessels
    on November 12, 2026 at 11:20 pm

    On an organ-on-a-chip, researchers can now explore how tumors grow and interact with their surroundings. The chip, a small plate where cancer cells, nerves and blood vessels grow, was developed by researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, in collaboration with colleagues at Politecnico di Milano in Italy. It is described in an article published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

  • AI-powered lung cancer atlas identifies cell types linked to higher risk of spread
    on November 12, 2026 at 11:00 pm

    Recent advances in cancer biology have shown that a tumor is not a uniform mass. It consists of many different cancer cells and is embedded in an environment of immune cells, connective tissue and blood vessels. This variety is a significant factor in determining whether a tumor spreads and how well a therapy works. While single-cell approaches are considered pioneering instruments in cancer research, their translation into clinical practice has been limited to date, primarily due to a lack of large patient data sets with comprehensive clinical histories.

  • What spaceflight reveals about nerves and bone recovery

    Mechanical loading is important for maintaining bone mass, and researchers from Science Tokyo have found that sensory nerves inside the bone play a key role in this process. In mice, sensory nerve abundance changed in response to mechanical unloading and reloading, and removing these nerves prevented bone recovery. The findings reveal a link between mechanical loading, sensory nerves and bone recovery and could support sensory nerve-targeted therapies and rehabilitation strategies for osteoporosis and fragility.

  • A novel pathogenic mechanism of nephrotic syndrome induced by direct stimulation of Ephrin-B1
    on November 12, 2026 at 10:20 pm

    A group led by the Department of Cell Biology at the Kidney Research Center, Niigata University, has identified a novel Ca²⁺-independent pathogenic mechanism of nephrotic syndrome. The study is published in The American Journal of Pathology.
