  • Study reveals a deep brain region that links the senses
    on May 15, 2025

    Humans perceive and navigate the world around us with the help of our five senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell. And while scientists have long known that these different senses activate different parts of the brain, a new study indicates that multiple senses all stimulate a critical region deep in the brain that controls consciousness. The study sheds new light on how sensory perception works in the brain and may fuel the development of therapies to treat disorders involving […]

  • Particles carrying multiple vaccine doses could reduce the need for follow-up shots
    on May 15, 2025

    New polymer microparticles can be used to deliver vaccines at different times. The work could lead to childhood vaccines given just once, eliminating the need for booster doses.

  • Asians made humanity’s longest prehistoric migration and shaped the genetic landscape in the Americas
    on May 15, 2025

    An international genomics study has revealed that early Asians undertook humanity’s longest known prehistoric migration. These early humans, who roamed the earth over 100,000 years ago, are believed to have traveled more than 20,000 kilometers on foot from North Asia to the southernmost tip of South America. Scientists have mapped the unexpectedly vast genetic diversity of Asians, who make up more than half of the world’s population. These findings overturn long-held assumptions of European […]

  • World’s largest bat organoid platform paves the way for pandemic preparedness
    on May 15, 2025

    Until now, most research has used either generalized cell samples or organoids made from just one type of tropical fruit bat, and only from a single organ. But a breakthrough has arrived: a research team has now created the world’s most comprehensive bat organoid platform. These ‘mini-organs’ are grown from five common bat species found across Asia and Europe and represent four different organs — airway, lungs, kidneys, and small intestine.

  • Key player in childhood food allergies identified: Thetis cells
    on May 15, 2025

    Thetis cells, a class of immune cells first described in 2022, play an essential and previously unknown role in suppressing inflammatory responses to food, a new study finds.

  • The effect of physical fitness on mortality is overestimated
    on May 15, 2025

    That fit people have a reduced risk of premature death from various diseases is a recurring result in many studies. New research shows that people with high fitness levels in their late teens also have a reduced risk of dying from random accidents. This suggests that the associations seen in previous studies have probably been misleading.
