CNIO researchers identify proliferative pause to treat brain metastasis

by

Metastatic cells establishing themselves in distant organs experience a vulnerable transient phase known as a “proliferative pause,” according to a study published in Cancer Cell. Led by the Brain Metastasis Group at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), researchers discovered that this previously unknown adaptive stage makes micrometastases susceptible to elimination using three existing … Read more

High-Dose Vitamin D Linked to Better Cognition in Study

by

Adults struggling with both sleep disturbances and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) may find a path to improved brain function through high-dose vitamin D supplementation. A study of 54 participants, published in the October 2026 issue of the journal Sleep Medicine, offers a promising signal: those consuming 5,000 international units (IU) or more of vitamin D … Read more

Visualizing Cellular Molecular Machines with Cryo-ET

by

Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers from Julia Mahamid’s European Molecular Biology Laboratory Heidelberg research group have visualized how different cellular processes are connected in 3D. Published in two papers in the journal Cell, the findings allow scientists to map protein production machinery across hundreds of individual cells and uncover previously unseen connections between transcription and translation. … Read more

How Romantic Partners Help Regulate Your Body, According to Science

by

Human blood sugar spikes drop about 15% and return to baseline faster when individuals eat a carbohydrate meal near a romantic partner rather than alone, according to a peer-reviewed study published in Science Advances. Led by Professor Shir Atzil at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, researchers tested 108 adults eating standardized meals and found that … Read more

Core muscle engagement rapidly changes brain blood flow

by

Engaging core abdominal muscles through exercise, walking, or coughing triggers ultrafast constrictions in major brain veins within a tenth of a second, according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Led by researchers at Michigan State University and Penn State, the findings reveal that physical movements generate mechanical pressures … Read more

University of Vermont Seeks to Map Full Spectrum of Biology with $19 Million Observatory

by

The University of Vermont is establishing a $19 million, five-year National Science Foundation project to build a national observatory that will image life’s smallest structures in three dimensions. Led by neuroscientist Davi Bock at the University of Vermont’s Robert Larner, M.D. College of Medicine alongside co-principal investigators Doug Taatjes of UVM and Mark Ellisman of … Read more

How GLP-1 Drugs Impact Chronic Pain: Gut-Brain & Immune Links

by

Odonkor, M.R. Dodurgali, F.R. Cox, I.J. Klimov, and A. Abd-Elsayed in the journal Nutrients, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) may alleviate chronic pain by interacting with the gut microbiome and the gut-brain axis. The study examines how microbial metabolites, spinal microglia, and dietary signaling intersect with pain sensitization pathways. Gut Microbiota and GLP-1 Signaling … Read more

New Human Brain Gene Map Unlocks Clues to Alzheimer’s Disease

by

Scientists have produced the largest map to date of gene activity in the human prefrontal cortex, sequencing data from more than six million individual cells across almost 1,500 people to inform the study of neurodegenerative and psychiatric diseases in unprecedented detail, according to a collection of studies published in Nature and other journals. Mapping Gene … Read more

New Brain Health WA Resource Aims to Reduce Dementia Risk

by

Western Australia is projected to record the nation’s fastest growth in dementia cases, with local numbers expected to double from 43,400 in 2026 to approximately 87,000 by 2054, according to figures. In response, a Curtin University-led resource has launched Brain Health WA, a new print and online resource co-designed by more than 100 Western Australians … Read more

Arts Integration Roadmap for Global Health and Wellbeing

by

Researchers have developed a global roadmap to integrate arts into health and wellbeing systems, according to the Jameel Arts & Health Lab–Lancet Global Collection on Arts and Health. Drawing on international evidence, the strategy spans public health prevention, community pathways, and clinical care, proposing that arts engagement be recognized as a health-enhancing behavior comparable to … Read more
