However, it is a complex procedure for doctors to perform, and it carries the risk of bleeding and perforation. Bacterial Energy Model Reveals How Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Spreads in Environment By Tohoku University Bacteria are good at evolving to evade efforts to destroy it. But building defenses like antibiotic resistance drains limited energy resources, forcing tough survival trade-offs. A recent study has revealed how bacteria in water allocates its limited energy supply. Reprogramming the cancer messenger: A new era of tumor extracellular vesicle engineering begins in Taiwan By National Taiwan University Researchers at National Taiwan University have developed a modular platform to reprogram tumor-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), transforming them from oncogenic messengers into safe, customizable drug delivery vehicles through precise molecular editing. Asthma-related depression may be biologically distinct from primary depression By Hiroshima University Symptoms of depression are common among people with asthma, but growing evidence suggests they may arise from biological mechanisms different from those underlying major depressive disorder. Pioneering natural, degradable polymer capsules By Osaka Metropolitan University Researchers have developed technology to convert naturally derived monomers into polymers capsules New molecular design strategy improves efficiency and selectivity in electrocatalytic reactions By YOKOHAMA National University Researchers have developed a new class of redox-switchable molecular mediators that activate halogen bonding to more efficiently and selectively drive carbon–nitrogen bond formation. Nature-based solutions? When more parks don't mean less heat risk By National Taiwan University A decade-long study of Northern Taiwan's cities reveals that heat risk inequality evolves with urbanisation characteristics and the connection between green space deficit and heat risk was not a general phenomenon. Lingnan University study finds proactive employees with high emotional intelligence demonstrate better job performance By Lingnan University In many organisations, significant hierarchical gaps exist within work teams, raising the question of how frontline employees can strive for greater opportunities for upward mobility in their careers. When "no-effect" isn't safe: Safe chemicals turn toxic in combination across generations By National Taiwan University Researchers at National Taiwan University reveal that combined exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics and the preservative butylparaben, at a level considered safe on their own, can cause heritable harm, disrupting reproduction across generations through epigenetic changes. Changes in genetic structure of yeast lead to disease-causing genomic instabilities By The University of Osaka A research team at The University of Osaka revealed that the loss of heterochromatin can cause a chain reaction leading to genetic changes and the subsequent development of diseases including cancer. Uncovering a Hidden Mechanism in Met Receptor Activation By Kanazawa University Researchers at the Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, in collaboration with Osaka University and the National Institutes for Quantum Science and Technology, have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism behind the activation of the Met receptor—a key player in tissue reg Glow with the flow: Implanted "living skin" lights up to signal health changes By Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo (UTokyo-IIS) Japanese researchers have developed a living sensor display that turns engineered skin into a biological monitor, visually indicating internal inflammation without requiring blood sampling. Designing atomic coordination for sustainable hydrogen peroxide electrosynthesis By National Taiwan University By fine-tuning the surroundings of single cobalt atoms, researchers reveal how tiny design changes can steer oxygen reactions toward cleaner and more efficient hydrogen peroxide production. Gut health linked to childhood migraine relief By National Taiwan University A new study suggests that the gut may play a surprising role in childhood migraine. Researchers found that improving gut health could help reduce headache pain and frequency in some children. Duke-NUS scientists uncover how exercise helps ageing muscles repair themselves By Duke-NUS Medical School Exercise restores a key cellular balance in ageing muscles, helping them stay stronger and more resilient.
