Reprogramming the morphology of colorectal cancer cells in 3D cultures to enhance therapeutic response
By pairing 3D culture with high-throughput screening, our Communications Biology study reveals how architecture shapes signaling and drug sensitivity – offering insights that could transform treatment strategies for colorectal cancer.
Cardiac lymphatics in Heart Failure
Molecular profiling of cardiac lymphatics in health and disease reveals potential new targets to improve lymphatic drainage in the heart
Hydrogel–elastomer-based conductive nanomembranes for soft bioelectronics
With a total thickness of 350 nm, THIN remains structurally hard and self-supportive, yet upon hydration immediately self-adapts to microscopic topologies and directly integrates with living organisms, thereby bypassing the limitations of previous approaches.
Post-approval safety studies: why they matter
Intravitreal therapies are invaluable for treating diabetic macular oedema (DMO). Often clinical trials do not provide sufficiently large patient populations to assess specific safety concerns, hence the need for post-authorisation safety studies, as shown with long-acting corticosteroids.
The Diet is Over. Now What? The Surprising Truth About Life After Time-Restricted Eating and Calorie Counting.
You did it. You stuck to the plan for 12 grueling weeks. The pounds dropped off. But then the study ended, the rules vanished, and real life began. This is the moment most weight loss research ignores. What happens next?
