- 1Theoretical physics sheds light on tumour DNA mechanisms▼Theoretical physics helps unveil the molecular mechanisms of extra-chromosomal DNA in tumours
Researchers, including the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics, report that theoretical physics methods have helped reveal the molecular mechanisms of extra-chromosomal DNA in tumours. These DNA fragments, found outside normal chromosomes in cancer cells, are linked to tumour evolution and drug resistance. The work shows physics-based modelling can contribute to cancer biology, drawing attention across the physics and medical research communities.
- 2New microscope captures living cells of Antarctic fish in extreme cold●Researchers engineered a novel microscope capable of operating near 0 degrees Celsius, enabling the first-ever high-reso
Researchers have engineered a microscope that operates near 0 degrees Celsius, allowing the first high-resolution imaging of living cells in Antarctic fish. The observations aim to reveal how these fish survive in frigid waters, with potential implications for cryobiology, cell biology and marine science.
- 3Study maps human meningeal development with spatial multiomics●Spatially resolved multiomics of human meningeal development reveal lineage and disease dynamics
Researchers have published a spatially resolved multiomics study of human meningeal development, charting how cell lineages form in the meninges, the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. By linking spatial gene-expression data across developmental stages, the work also illuminates disease dynamics, offering a reference for understanding neurological disorders tied to meningeal biology. Scientists following developmental and single-cell research are highlighting the study's combined lineage and disease perspective.
