Jun 19, 2025In Situ Formation of Functional Materials in Living SystemsThis approach enabled the in situ synthesis of gold–polymer nanocomposites within living E. coli, effectively transforming the bacteria into "living nanofactories". Gold–polymer composites have attracted significant attention in materials science and nanotechnology, particularly for their potential in surface-enhanced Raman scattering. However, challenges suc... -
Jun 17, 2025Revolutionizing Diabetic Bone Repair: Innovative Implant Delivers Sustained Hydrogen TherapyResearchers develop an innovative implant delivers allowing for controlled and sustained H2 release to facilitate bone repair in diabetic conditions. Diabetes, a chronic metabolic disease marked by high blood sugar, is linked to complications that hinder tissue repair and immunity. Diabetic patients face significantly higher orthopedic implant f... -
Jun 11, 2025Dual-Laser Strategy Revolutionizes Breast Cancer Photothermal TherapyResearchers developed a dual-laser photothermal therapy (DLPTT) strategy for breast cancer therapy, which enhances tumor ablation while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues by using nea... Breast cancer is the most prevalent malignancy among women worldwide. Phototheranostics—an approach that uses light both to detect and treat cancerous lesions—has drawn growing attention due to i... -

Implantable bioelectronics are vital to neuroscience, neurological therapies, and brain-machine interfaces, serving as indispensable interfaces that enable communication between biological systems ... -
May 23, 2025Subtle Movement Shifts May Enable Earlier Parkinson's DetectionThese findings highlight the significance of rearing behavior and behavioral lateralization as potential behavioral markers for tracking the progression of Parkinson's disease. Midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons, located in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and the ventral tegmental area (VTA), are essential for regulating movement, emotion, and reward processing. Dysf... -
May 19, 2025A Magnetically-Driven Innovative Solution for Personalized Intracranial Tumor TherapyExperiment results showed that the BBHF was able to move through the porcine cerebral cortex with gullies and arrive at the target location without leaving scratches on the soft surface. Brain tumors remain among the most challenging conditions in modern medicine. Due to their complexity and location, many are difficult to access, even with the most advanced surgical and therapeuti... -
May 14, 2025Genomic Evolution Reshapes Cell-type Diversification in the Amniote BrainThe researchers have constructed a cross-species single-nucleus RNA-seq atlas of amniote brains comprising over 1.3 million cells, uncovering conserved and divergent cell-type evolution. Recently, a research team led by Prof. LIU Shiping and Prof. XU Xun of BGI Research Hangzhou, Prof. WANG Zhenlong of Zhengzhou University, Prof. XU Chun of the Institute of Neuroscience of the Chin...
