A single-cell analysis of nearly half a million cells from 62 pancreatic tumors shows how cancer cells keep reshaping their genetic activity over time, helping some clones resist therapy and others spread.
A Science study of 1,543 human milk samples from Canada, Pakistan and Burkina Faso finds shared molecular patterns that tie maternal nutrition, mammary gland function and infant growth together, and points to seven candidate biomarkers.
A team from Wits University and the University of East Anglia shows that a carefully prepared beam of light, starting with no spin at all, can develop separated left- and right-handed regions just by travelling through empty space.
An experimental injection called CBL-514 triggers fat cells to die off on their own. Early human data show less visceral belly fat, but the results come from a small conference abstract, not a peer-reviewed paper.
Henri Kagan and Kenso Soai won the 2026 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for non-linear effects and autocatalysis in asymmetric synthesis, work that explains how a tiny imbalance between mirror-image molecules can grow into near purity.
Anthropic says its Claude agents found a new CRISPR-like enzyme system in phage DNA. A Copenhagen researcher says his team had already identified it, and he is asking what data the model saw.
Stanford Medicine researchers designed a two-headed molecule that rewires BCL6, a common driver of B-cell lymphoma, so that instead of silencing cell death genes it switches them on. In mice, aggressive tumors were gone within 11 days.
Using ultrafast X-ray pulses, researchers at PNNL and SLAC watched an electron and a proton move through a molecule while the surrounding water rearranged itself in real time, a key step toward better catalysts, fuel cells and flow batteries.
Stanford researchers blocked an age-linked enzyme called 15-PGDH and watched worn knee cartilage thicken in old mice, protect against post-injury arthritis, and even stir to life in human tissue from knee-replacement patients. Exciting, but still early.
