From targeted cancer treatments to self-healing materials and microscopic robots, many emerging technologies depend on molecules that can be controlled with light. Researchers at Tohoku University have now developed a way to make these light-responsive molecules much more sensitive to visible light by using a molecular antenna. The breakthrough gives scientist better control over molecular photosw

by Grace van Deelen September 10, 2026 Health , Infectious Disease , School of Medicine Share Cases of measles, a highly contagious and deadly disease, are surging in parts of the U.S., worrying doctors and public health experts. In 2026, so far, 3 ,134 cases have been reported across 47 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). About 8% of those people required hospitalization. In 2025, the CDC reported 2,289 cases of measles, compared to only 58 in 2023. Some c

by Taylor McNeil September 10, 2026 Biomedical Science , Cancer , School of Arts and Sciences , Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Share When cancer strikes, it doesn’t appear in isolation—the surrounding materials in our bodies have been tricked into supporting the tumor’s out-of-control growth. An important part of that mix is the microenvironment around the tumors, made up largely of the extracellular matrix, with its variety of molecules and proteins like collagen and elastin. How that ext

Luckily, this future may be close at hand, due to the work of a Boston-based startup founded by Tufts alumni. Anodyne Nanotech draws on Tufts research to create patches of miniscule microneedles that are applied to the skin, offering a new form of drug delivery

Living human cells will launch aboard a European research rocket next month as South Australian researchers use space to investigate cancer in a radically different environment.
Dogs trained in scent detection may be better at sniffing out the right smell after breakfast, with new research finding hungry dogs that are working for treats are more likely to falsely identify the wrong scent.

Facing major surgery is stressful, but for older adults, unaddressed anxiety and depression can impede physical recovery. A clinical trial led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has found that starting an intervention before surgery — one that combines mental health coaching with optimization of medications that may increase risks for older adults — reduces pos

Thirteen percent of U.S. children aged 3–17 have a diagnosed mental or behavioral health condition, and American youth suicide rates far exceed those of peer countries. But the popular story — a sudden, smartphone-driven collapse — doesn't fit five decades of data. This series examines where the crisis comes from, which interventions demonstrably help, and what we still need to learn.

The brain is a black box of densely packed neurons, blood vessels and immune cells, all locked away in a sealed skull. WashU’s Song Hu has dedicated his career to unlocking that puzzle box by developing new ways to “see” inside. His team’s newest innovation could give researchers a new view of how brain cells and blood vessels work together and what happens when the coupling between the two breaks

A recent study in Nature Energy has quantified how cell-to-cell inconsistency limits the performance, lifetime, and resource utilization of electric vehicle (EV) battery packs under real-world operating conditions. The work revealed that a small number of faster-ageing cells can severely constrain an entire pack's performance and lifespan. The study was led by Prof. CHEN Zhongwei from the Dalian I

Extreme heatwaves disrupt life in soil. Soil bacteria that produce and resist antibiotics switch into survival mode, temporarily reducing the number of resistance genes. At the same time, heat and drought are causing significant damage to soils and ecosystems, especially in cold, wet regions such as the Netherlands. This is evident from a large-scale European study by soil ecologist Franciska de Vries (University of Amsterdam) and colleagues.
