Cervical cancer ranks as the fourth most common cancer among women globally and is caused by persistent infection with the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a small DNA virus known to infect the skin, genital areas, and throat. Based on disease severity, HPV is categorized into low-risk and high-risk types. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV, particularly types 16 and 18, is responsible for 70% of cervical cancer cases due to their potential to cause malignant tumors.

Glycosylation is a common post-translational modification in eukaryotic cells that plays a crucial role in protein folding, stability, activity, and intercellular signaling.

Every researcher dreads two scenarios: being unable to find reliable protocols, or meticulously following steps only to get irreproducible results! Worry no more. These extensively tested protocol repositories cover everything from fundamental techniques to cutting-edge methods – offering free access, downloadable PDFs, and video tutorials. Your PI or lab mates might not have told you about these.

RRID stands for Research Resource Identifier. It is a persistent and unique identifier for research resources, designed to standardize their citation in scientific literature. RRIDs facilitate the identification and tracking of resources, enhancing research transparency, reproducibility, and resource traceability.

Struggling with inconsistent Western blot bands? Results feeling like a lottery? Your loading control choice might be the culprit! This guide demystifies selection strategies for error-free protein normalization.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a technique that utilizes the principle of specific binding between antigens and antibodies in immunology. It identifies antigens (such as polypeptides and proteins) in tissue cells through chemical reactions that cause color-developing agents (fluorescein, enzymes, metal ions, isotopes) labeled on antibodies to develop color, enabling their localization, qualitative, and quantitative study. Due to its strong specificity, high sensitivity, and rapid and simple operation, immunofluorescence technology is widely applied in clinical pathological diagnosis and testing.

Ferroptosis is executed by phospholipid peroxidation, a process relying on metabolic products reactive oxygen species (ROS), phospholipid containing polyunsaturated fatty acid chain(s) (PUFA-PL), and transition metal iron, and that intra- and intercellular signaling events, morphologically, ferroptosis induces rupture of the plasma membrane and cytoplasmic swelling/edema, alongside disruption of mitochondrial morphology, among other alterations, and environmental stresses can impact ferroptosis by regulating cellular metabolism and ROS level.

A significant new study published in Lancet Neurology shows that over 3 billion people worldwide suffered from neurological disorders in 2021. Neurological conditions such as stroke, epilepsy, and dementia cause 9 million deaths globally each year, ranking them among the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. In 2021, the top ten neurological disorders contributing to health loss were stroke, neonatal encephalopathy (brain injury), migraine, dementia, diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage), meningitis, epilepsy, neurological complications in preterm infants, autism spectrum disorder, and nervous system cancers. At the World Health Assembly held in 2022, Member States adopted the Intersectoral Global Action Plan on Epilepsy and Other Neurological Disorders 2022–2031, providing a roadmap for countries to improve the prevention, early detection, treatment, and rehabilitation of neurological disorders.

Exercise is known to delay aging and improve metabolism, but what's the molecular mechanism behind it?

Fructose is ubiquitous in modern diets—from fruits and sweetened beverages to candies and baked goods. However, emerging research reveals a critical concern: excessive fructose consumption during early life may severely disrupt brain development. On June 11, 2025, a team led by Justin S.A. Perry at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) published a landmark study in Nature titled "Early life high fructose exposure disrupts microglia function and impedes neurodevelopment". Their findings sound a critical alarm: Exposure to high-fructose environments during pivotal developmental windows (pregnancy and the neonatal period) directly impairs microglia—the brain’s essential "custodian" cells—through a GLUT5-dependent mechanism. This disrupts synaptic pruning and neuronal clearance, compromises neurodevelopment, and significantly elevates lifelong risks of cognitive deficits and anxiety-like behaviors.

A Listeria outbreak initially surfaced in early 2025 across 21 U.S. states, resulting in 38 infections and 12 deaths. The investigation revealed the earliest cases actually date back to 2018, with more than half of all infections occurring in 2024 and 2025. Listeria infections in the U.S. typically peak during the summer months.

Three oncologists at Hong Kong's Princess Margaret Hospital earlier developed acute gastroenteritis, after which one died. The Hong Kong Center for Health Protection released the results of its investigation last week and found that there was no link between the three people's illnesses. Yuen Kwok-yung, Chair Professor of Infectious Diseases at the Department of Microbiology of the University of Hong Kong, who was in charge of the investigation, said that the team found rotavirus type C in different samples from the deceased doctors, and concluded that the signs of the disease that appeared in the patients before their deaths were caused by the virus.
