Newly discovered protein controls the space between mitochondrial membranes5:14 Mitochondria are the tiny powerpacks that supply most of the energy our cells need. Their ability to generate this energy relies on a distinctive architecture: two membranes, one tucked inside the other, separated by a narrow gap called the intermembrane space (IMS). LGBTQ+ college students facing discrimination report higher mental health risks5:14 LGBTQ+ college students who experience discrimination are significantly more likely to experience depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and avoid needed health care, according to a new national study by Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, Boston University School of Public Health and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute. Ancient virus may help explain differences in human and chimpanzee brains5:14 Pandemics can arise wherever animal or human populations are sufficiently large, and they are not confined to the modern age. Movement helps people learn complex patterns more effectively, study finds5:14 Punching a virtual response box or swinging a virtual lightsaber can dramatically improve learning on certain tasks, according to new research from Florida Atlantic University's College of Engineering and Computer Science, which challenges long-standing assumptions about how people learn. Six-gene score could improve survival predictions for acute myeloid leukemia5:14 The activity of six different genes can help determine patient survival of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), according to a study published today in Science Advances. Study reveals how cancer cells survive chemotherapy in a zombie-like state5:14 Scientists at Trinity College Dublin have made an important breakthrough in understanding how cancer cells can evade the cell-killing effects of chemotherapy and enter a "zombie-like state", called premature senescence, that can attract the wound healing properties of the immune system. Taurine helps regulate inflammation linked to aging, Yale study finds4:42 Sustained low-level inflammation is a hallmark of the aging process. The accumulating damage persistently activates the innate immune system-the body's first line of defense-leading to what is known as inflammaging, functional decline and chronic diseases of old age. Nephrologist shortages linked to higher kidney disease mortality along US-Mexico borde4:42 New research indicates that US-Mexico border counties experience disproportionately elevated rates of death from chronic kidney disease (CKD), alongside reduced availability of nephrologists. The findings will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2026 October 22–25. New guidance expands reproductive care for people with cystic fibrosis4:42 For much of the history of cystic fibrosis (CF) care, reproductive health was not a major part of the conversation. Fertility challenges were the norm for men and women with this genetic disorder, and many grew up assuming biological parenthood was not possible. Novel immunosuppressant improves kidney function and quality of life after transplantation4:42 The Phase 2 BESTOW clinical trial showed that tegoprubart (a novel anti-CD40L antibody therapy) was better at preserving kidney function than tacrolimus (the current standard of care) in immunosuppressive regimens in adults receiving their first kidney transplant. |
