Tiny but powerful, basement membranes support cells, regulate barriers, and drive disease when disrupted—key players in health, aging, and cancer.

The gut microbiomeover 100 trillion microorganisms, communicates with the brain via the gut–brain axis, influencing mood, cognition, immunity, and stress regulation. Dysbiosis is linked to depression, anxiety, autism spectrum disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases, emphasizing its critical role in mental and neurological health.

Ageing is accompanied by a gradual decline in physiological functions, among which deterioration of the immune system termed immunosenescence—has profound implications for human health.

Biologics have transformed the management of chronic and life-threatening diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and metabolic conditions. However, their complexity, high production costs, and limited affordability continue to challenge healthcare systems worldwide.

Many times, individuals feel fearful or extremely worried about cancer testing. The regular tests and scans that patients living with any cancer diagnosis have to undergo, to monitor their condition, can make them feel anxious before, during, or after a scan or a follow-up test

Imagine being able to control a computer, a prosthetic limb, or even a drone just by using your thoughts. This is not science fiction; it is now a reality thanks to brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). BCIs are groundbreaking systems that enable direct communication between the brain and external devices.

What if one of the most powerful models for understanding the human brain were less than an inch long, transparent, and living in a small tank? Meet Danio rerio, the zebrafish.

Cell and gene therapies represent a seismic shift in healthcare. They promise to cure the incurable, restoring sight to the blind and erasing cancer from the blood. But this frontier is wild. It comes with biological price tags, potential genetic misfires, and a regulatory landscape that is still being mapped.

See how the PSA blood test works, what causes elevated PSA levels, and how this important laboratory test supports prostate health and early cancer detection.

Small fruit fly is an excellent model organism used by scientists to study various aspect of human health and diseases such as development, regeneration, wound healing, cancer and stem cell research

How the fruit fly egg chamber reveals the secrets of cell migration and offers powerful insights into cancer metastasis and future therapies.

Many physical and computational systems exhibit a familiar behavior: ordered states gradually decay in the presence of noise. Examples appear across science:

The human ear is often described as one of the most sophisticated sensory systems in biology. Within a structure no larger than a seashell, the auditory system can detect frequencies ranging from the faint rumble of distant thunder to the subtle harmonic texture of a violin string
