L’Oréal is hoping its latest beauty gadget can demystify skincare. At CES 2025, the company announced Cell BioPrint, a device that’s designed to analyze your skin and give personalized advice on how to slow down signs of aging. The device is the result of a partnership with NanoEntek — a Korean startup that specializes in […]
RESEARCH BRIEFINGS 01 January 2025 Metabolic-dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is defined by lipid accumulation and inflammation, and makes liver cells enter a tumour-suppressive state called senescence while increasing cancer risk. Investigation of this paradox reveals that MASH-inducing diets trigger senescence by causing DNA damage. However, prolonged metabolic stress allows once-senescent liver cells to start dividing and […]
ROCHESTER, Minn. — At Mayo Clinic, researchers published more than 10,000 scientific papers in 2024 that are driving medical discoveries, leading to new cures for the future. The following are 10 research highlights from Mayo Clinic this year: Microscopic view of an intestinal organoid Growing mini-organs to find new treatments for complex disease Mayo Clinic investigators […]

Using a simple yet effective technique, researchers from Doshisha University could harness ultrasound vibrations generated by a piezoelectric transducer to control the orientation of cultured myoblasts. After optimizing different timing, frequency, and intensity configurations, they developed a method to induce myoblasts to differentiate into circumferentially aligned myotubes.

“If you are a student and you live on $700 as a monthly budget, $200 extra is nice,” says Bernow. “If you work 10 hours for me, I don’t mind paying $200. They should be paid more, but we’re not allowed to do that, and we adhere to all the frameworks.” Many countries have rules […]
Mayo Clinic researchers have identified key protein patterns in the blood that could improve how doctors diagnose and monitor giant cell arteritis, a chronic autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in blood vessels. The condition often affects arteries in the head and can lead to vision loss or stroke if untreated. The new research, led by […]
Single-cell technologies have shattered the fuzzy lenses through which researchers conventionally view biology. Instead of looking at the average behaviour of a swathe of cells, scientists can interrogate genes or other features cell by cell. But the technology also brings challenges: the data are expensive to collect and analyse, and typically force researchers to choose […]
Donald Trump has nominated former WWE CEO Linda McMahon, who used to put on events like “Hell in a Cell” and “Wrestlemania,” to lead the Department of Education. In a press release Tuesday night, Trump said McMahon would lead efforts to “send Education BACK TO THE STATES,” a longtime goal of Republicans who have sought […]
Robin Zeng, the founder of the world’s largest EV battery company, says Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s big bet on 4680 cylindrical cell technology “is going to fail and never be successful.” Zeng, the chairman of China’s Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL), tells Reuters that when Musk visited China in April, “We had a very big debate, […]
