One of the biggest surprises in modern cancer biology is that tumors are wired with nerves—and cancers with more nerve fibers tend to be more aggressive. A new study finally explains why. The Key Finding Neurons actively transfer their mitochondria — the cell’s energy...
A Milestone in Rare Disease Genomics
Why popEVE Matters Interpreting missense variants has long been one of the most persistent challenges in clinical genetics. These single–amino-acid substitutions can subtly alter protein structure or function, yet their effects are often context-dependent and...
Brain Cell Communication at the Molecular Level
Brain Cell Communication at the Molecular Level Neural communication isn’t abstract, it’s a sequence of tightly regulated biophysical events. Ion gradients shift, channels open and close with millisecond precision, calcium signals trigger chemical release, and...
Bacterial Movement Beyond Flagella: Surprising New Mechanisms Uncovered
Emerging Evidence of Alternative Motility For decades, scientists have believed that bacterial movement relied almost entirely on the rotation of whip-like flagella, which propel cells through liquids or across surfaces. However, new research has revealed that some...
The Passing of a Scientific Giant: James D. Watson
Renowned molecular biologist James D. Watson has died at the age of 97, his son and the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) in New York confirmed. The scientist, best known for co-discovering the double helix structure of DNA in 1953, passed away following a brief...
The Rise of Cell and Gene Therapy Hubs Across Northern England
The life sciences landscape in northern England is undergoing a dynamic evolution, driven by the growing importance of advanced therapies such as cell and gene treatments. These innovative approaches, which aim to treat or cure diseases by intervening at the level of...
