Collective cell movement involves cells migrating in coordination with their neighbors during biological processes such as embryonic development and wound healing. Recent discoveries reveal this coordinated movement is facilitated by the scaffolding protein ZO-1 riding waves of ERK signaling activation.

Cytokine-armored CAR-T cell therapy is a novel cancer treatment that reprograms engineered T-cells to not only target cancer but also release immune-stimulating proteins. This dual action activates the body's natural immune system to strengthen the overall anti-cancer response against aggressive brain tumors like glioblastoma.

Climate change is progressively exacerbating respiratory diseases through the increased frequency and intensity of environmental hazards such as wildfire smoke, extreme heat, flooding, and extended pollen seasons. These compounding risks are reversing decades of air quality progress and placing immense strain on public health infrastructure.

The virome refers to the vast, complex, and heterogeneous collection of all viruses that are found in or on an organism, or within a specific environmental ecosystem. To truly comprehend the sheer scale of this biological "dark matter," one must examine the staggering numerical reality of viral abundance.

Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation (tSCS) utilizes non-invasive electrical waveforms to help patients recover motor function following a spinal cord injury. Recent research evaluates whether newer, kilohertz-frequency waveforms are as effective as conventional, longer-duration waveforms at targeting the neural structures necessary for true rehabilitation.
