Experimental eye drops help blind mice see again

Scientists have created light‑activated drugs that let blind mice perceive light again, restoring visually guided behavior without gene therapy, implants, or special lighting. The breakthrough suggests a future where vision...

Fluorescent nanoparticles bound to glioblastoma cells under near-infrared illumination

Smart nanoparticles light up brain cancer and d...

Brain tumors such as glioblastoma are notorious for slipping past a surgeon’s view, leaving microscopic disease that fuels inevitable recurrence. A new class of smart nanoparticles promises to change that...

Microscopic view of diverse gut bacteria altered by medication exposure

Common medications may change your gut for years

Recent research shows that everyday prescriptions can rewrite the gut’s microbial script long after the last pill is swallowed. In a cohort of more than 2,500 participants, scientists detected persistent...
