Johns Hopkins study reveals enzyme that shields neurons from oxidative stress

New research from Johns Hopkins Medicine shows that the enzyme biliverdin reductase A (BVRA) plays a direct protective role against oxidative stress in neurons, independent of its role producing the yellow pigment bilirubin.

Northwestern team develops antibody to expose hidden pancreatic cancer cells

Pancreatic cancer is notoriously hard to treat and often resists the most advanced immunotherapies. Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered a novel explanation for that resistance: Pancreatic tumors use a sugar-based disguise to hide from the immune system.

Urolithin A recharges aging immune cells and boosts mitochondrial fitness in midlife adults

Urolithin A, a natural postbiotic known to trigger mitophagy, rejuvenated key immune cell functions in healthy middle-aged adults after 28 days. The trial showed a shift toward a youthful, energy-efficient CD8⁺ T-cell profile and enhanced bacterial clearance without inflammatory side effects.

Scientists create detailed single-cell map of the developing human brain

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and their collaborators have created one of the most comprehensive single cell maps of the developing human brain. The atlas captures nearly every cell type, their genetic fingerprints, and how they grow and interact.

Heated tobacco and cigarettes cause the same gut and vascular damage, study finds

Italian researchers found that both heated tobacco products (HTPs) and conventional cigarettes trigger oxidative stress, endotoxemia, and gut barrier disruption in adults and children. The findings challenge the perception that HTPs are a safer alternative to smoking.

States make progress in removing barriers to opioid use disorder medications

A new study from Tulane University found that, over the past decade, more states have moved to make it easier for people with opioid use disorder to get potentially life-saving medication.

New genomic method enables multiple people with rare conditions to receive diagnoses

A new genomic method has enabled multiple people with rare conditions to receive diagnoses that were previously unattainable by identifying complex structural genetic changes that are often missed by standard tests.

Familiar voices help reduce the risk of delirium in ICU patients

The innovative use of recorded messages from a family member to provide reorientation information to a critically ill patient receiving mechanical ventilation helped reduce the risk of developing delirium, according to new research published in American Journal of Critical Care (AJCC).

Atrial dysfunction assessment tool may help identify stroke risk in people with ATTR-CM

A hidden atrial dysfunction may raise stroke risk in people with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM); however, a non-invasive assessment tool may help identify those at increased risk, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2025.
