Mapping Depression at Single-Cell Resolution: Why the Brain Struggles to Grow New Neurons

Mapping Depression at Single-Cell Resolution: Why the Brain Struggles to Grow New Neurons

The brains of people with depression appear to be less capable of producing new neurons than those of people without the disorder. That is the headline finding of a study published in Nature Medicine , built on the most comprehensive map yet assembled of cell types in the adult human hippocampus — the brain region central to learning, memory and emotion. A Twenty-Year-Old Hypothesis Meets Modern Technology For more than two decades, some researchers have suspected that a disruption...
The Secret to Living Past 110? An Army of Cancer-Killing Immune Cells

The Secret to Living Past 110? An Army of Cancer-Killing Immune Cells

What if the key to extreme longevity isn’t slowing down ageing, but an immune system that keeps adapting? A study published in Cell Reports reveals that supercentenarians — people aged 110 and older — carry unusually large populations of a rare type of cancer-killing immune cell, offering a striking new perspective on how some individuals reach extraordinary ages while fending off heart disease, dementia and cancer. Rethinking Immune Ageing For decades, research on the ageing...
90% of Biomedical Papers Now Show Signs of AI-Assisted Writing

90% of Biomedical Papers Now Show Signs of AI-Assisted Writing

A preprint posted to arXiv on 12 August 2026 estimates that nearly nine out of ten biomedical papers published in December 2025 and archived in PubMed Central show signs of AI-assisted writing. The figure is far above earlier published estimates, and it reframes a question the research community has been treating as speculative: large language model (LLM) use in scientific writing is no longer an emerging trend to monitor. It is the default condition of the literature. The trajectory in...
Exoskeletons Are Stepping Out of the Clinic — and Into Everyday Life

Exoskeletons Are Stepping Out of the Clinic — and Into Everyday Life

No tags added.

Posted on 19 August, 2026 by Mehrdad Fathi

In 2009, biomechanical engineer Daniel Ferris predicted that by 2024, people would be strolling through malls and city streets wearing robotic exoskeletons. He now admits he was “jumping the gun” — but a recent feature in Nature shows just how close his vision has come to reality. From replacing function to augmenting it For years, exoskeletons lived almost exclusively in clinics, helping people recover from stroke or spinal-cord injury. The design philosophy was replacement:...
Before Shells and Skeletons: Why 1.7-Billion-Year-Old Microfossils Matter for the Future of Life Science

Before Shells and Skeletons: Why 1.7-Billion-Year-Old Microfossils Matter for the Future of Life Science

For roughly 90% of Earth’s history, our planet belonged to microbes. The leap from single-celled bacteria to plants, animals, and fungi is arguably the most consequential transition in biology — and yet the fossil evidence for it remains remarkably thin. Paleontologist Ross Anderson (University of Oxford) is working to change that. His team searches some of Earth’s oldest rocks for eukaryotic microfossils — the earliest cells with a nucleus and organelles like mitochondria. These “crown...
