Scientists discovered how triple-negative breast cancer recruits nerves into tumors. Macrophages release BDNF to promote nerve growth, while blocking BDNF reduced both nerve formation and tumor growth in mice. #BreastCancer #CancerResearch #Neuroscience

Does DNA only encode which protein a cell should produce, or can it also encode information about how it should be produced? In synthetic biology, we optimize codon usage, GC content, mRNA stability, and translation efficiency.

A study of more than 21,000 women found that estrogen therapy was associated with lower rates of dementia and fewer Alzheimer’s-related changes in the brain. #Estrogen #Alzheimers #BrainHealth

New findings suggest that elevated Lp(a) may contribute to cardiovascular risk even when conventional cholesterol measurements appear normal. #LpA #CardiovascularHealth #Genetics

In an analysis of 20070 participants, Lp(a) levels of ≥175 nmol/L were associated with a 31% higher risk of major cardiovascular events, a 49% higher risk of cardiovascular death, and a 64% higher risk of stroke. No significant association with myocardial infarction was observed

Lp(a) levels are largely inherited and usually cause no symptoms. Researchers suggest that this simple blood test could become increasingly important for personalized cardiovascular risk assessment, particularly as targeted Lp(a)-lowering therapies continue to develop.

The immune system may be even more fascinating than we thought. Stanford researchers identified a new immune cell, called a ruptoblast, that eliminates nearby targets by exploding.

A new immune mechanism has been discovered. In planarian flatworms, ruptoblasts sacrifice themselves to destroy bacteria and foreign cells within seconds.

Eating is about more than energy. A new study shows that signals traveling from the stomach to the brain directly support memory formation while we eat. #Neuroscience #Memory #Science

Logan Lauer and Scott Kanoski's team found that the vagus nerve triggers acetylcholine release in the hippocampus, helping the brain encode where and what we eat.

When researchers disrupted this pathway, subjects showed a significant decline in remembering food locations. The findings reveal that communication between the gut and the brain plays a direct role in memory, not just digestion.

The Rockefeller University study, published in Cell, showed that low arginine levels may reduce MHC-I production, weakening immune surveillance.

In mice, arginine-rich diets were linked to fewer colon tumors and milder viral infections. Human clinical trials are still needed.
