A protein called TRAILshort may act as a central immune brake that limits T-cell responses and CAR-T therapy. Cancer cells can weaken the immune system by producing a protein that prevents its most important defenders from attacking. Mayo Clinic researchers have identified how this protein works, revealing a possible target for treatments designed to improve […]
This Simple Daily Habit May Ease Pain and Depression
A steady daily routine may quietly protect the body from pain, depression, and the damaging effects of disrupted sleep. A University of Missouri study suggests that a predictable routine may support physical and emotional health by helping the body keep time. Rather than focusing only on sleep, the researchers examined the broader pattern of activities […]
New Research Questions a Textbook Theory of How Insect Societies Evolve
ASU researchers found that genetics alone cannot explain the origins of eusociality. Inside an ant colony, queens reproduce while workers care for young and maintain a society built around shared labor. For more than six decades, evolutionary biologists have debated whether this extraordinary arrangement, known as eusociality, arose partly because ants, bees, and wasps share […]

Only Three Are Known To Exist: China’s Mysterious Eyeless Cave Snail
Scientists have discovered China’s first known freshwater cave snail, an eyeless species so rare that only three living adults have been found. Deep inside a mountain cave in southwestern China, scientists found an animal that appears built for a world where sunlight never reaches. The tiny freshwater snail has no eyes, almost no color, and […]
Scientists Discover a Hidden Cell Signal That May Explain Congenital Heart Defects
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen found that a signaling mechanism in the cells’ ‘antennae’ may help explain why some fetuses develop disease in both the heart and other organs. About two of every 100 babies worldwide are born with congenital heart disease, but the biological processes responsible for these conditions are not fully understood. […]
