    Overcoming Drug Resistance by Disrupting HDAC1 Condensates in Glioblastoma
    Researchers discovered that TMZ treatment induces the formation of HDAC1-CTCF condensates in GBM cells, leading to chromatin remodeling and enhanced DNA repair activity, thereby promoting acquired ... Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most common and aggressive primary brain tumors in adults, with an extremely poor prognosis and a median overall survival typically less than two years. Temozolomid...

    Researchers Reveal High-Fat Diet-Induced Dysfunction in Lateral Septum That Exacerbates Obesity
    The study discovered that activation of the lateral septum inhibits hedonic feeding, acting as a "brake system" in the brain's feeding regulation network and serving as a potential target for obesi... The prevalence of overweight and obesity is largely driven by the widespread availability of high-calorie and highly palatable foods. Even without feeling hungry, some people tend to eat food for t...

    Active-Navigation, Stiffness-Tunable Microrobots for Precise Biopsy and Targeted Delivery in Narrow Luminal Interventions
    The team developed a microrobotic system based on a helix-shaped magnetic soft microrobot, the Helixoft. Surgical tasks in small tortuous lumens demand interventional instruments with controllable mechanical adaptability. However, current microcatheters lack a non-disruptive, integration-ready strateg...

    Scientists Develop Novel "Super-sensitive, Low-burden" Mammalian Cell-cell Communication System
    The study revealed the small-molecule signaling system for mammalian cell-cell communication that combines super-sensitivity with a chassis-friendly, low-burden design, and demonstrated the system'... Cell-cell communication, as the "conductor" of physiological activities, transmits information through signaling molecules, coordinating development, immunity, and homeostasis. During embryonic con...
