[Science Advances] Scientists described a charge-altering releasable transporter that delivers RNA selectively to the corneal endothelium, a non-regenerative cell layer whose dysfunction underlies several blinding conditions.

[Acta Pharmacologica Sinica] Emerging evidence suggests that dysregulated neddylation contributes to several metabolic abnormalities implicated in endothelial dysfunction, including insulin resistance, obesity-associated metabolic dysfunction, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Through its entry into Lilly Gateway Labs, Rznomics officials say they plan to accelerate candidate discovery and development across its target gene database bank comprising over 200 disease targets.

The traditional paradigm of biological evolution often frames nucleic acids as metabolic adaptationsdeveloped within functional prokaryotic cells. This paper presents a counter-theoretical synthesisdemonstrating that Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) represents a universal, pre-biological chemical phenomenon thatpredated protocellular compartmentalization and the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA). Bysyn…

BackgroundHypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) protein has been identified as an aggressive malignant phenotype marker for numerous tumors; therefore, the detection of HIF-1α has become increasingly significant.MethodsIn this work, we developed a type of magnetically induced self-assembled electrochemical aptamer nanobiosensor for detecting HIF-1α protein. This nanobiosensor utilized the magnetis…

Biomass crops have promise as precursors for biochemicals and biofuels but contain several types of sugar. While yeast have evolved to prefer glucose, it's better for it to consume different types simultaneously. Researchers engineered a strain of yeast that doesn't prefer any individual sugar.

Bioactive beverages made from fruit pulp, dietary fiber, plant extracts, proteins and oils have the tendency to undergo sedimentation, creaming and... The post Microfluidization for Bioactive Beverages: Worth It? appeared first on Food Research Lab .

The trillions of bacteria living inside the human digestive system do much more than help break down food. They operate almost like a tiny chemical factory, transforming ingredients from our meals into substances that can travel through the body. Scientists at Karolinska Institutet have now discovered a previously unknown example of this process. Certain gut […] The post Your Gut May Turn Vegetab…

Nature Communications, Published online: 24 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-76091-5 Yellow rust (YR) is a devastating fungal disease of wheat. Here, the authors report the cloning of Yr26 as a transmembrane protein and reveal its evolves within the Triticeae lineage as an orphan gene.

Nature Communications, Published online: 24 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-76960-z Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is traditionally regarded as a highly toxic industrial pollutant, but growing evidence suggests that, at low concentrations, it can act as an endogenous signaling molecule with gasotransmitter-like properties. Here, the authors develop a series of esterase-activated cyanide donors featur…

The gut microbiota constitutes a metabolically active, highly diverse, organ-like ecosystem that engages in symbiotic crosstalk with the host and helps regulate digestion, immune function, and key metabolic pathways. Its endocrine-like effects are largely mediated through microbially derived metabolites and signaling networks, including short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bile acid (BA)–derived sign…

A new study finds that an all-out sprint may have unique benefits when it comes to the proteins and tiny molecules in your bloodstream.
