Newly Approved Mepolizumab Mitigates COPD Exacerbations

Heidi Splete May 27, 2025 Adding mepolizumab to inhaled triple therapy significantly improved exacerbation outcomes compared with placebo in adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), based on data from the MATINEE study presented at the American Thoracic Society (ATS) 2025 International Conference. Based on these findings, mepolizumab is newly approved by the US Food and […]

How influenza viruses enter our cells

For the first time, researchers have observed live and in high resolution how influenza viruses infect living cells. This was possible thanks to a new microscopy technique, which could now help to develop antiviral therapies in a more targeted manner.  Cells actively help to capture and incorporate influenza viruses. Here, a cell is shown, with

A new way to map how cells choose their fate

Researchers present an innovative computational method based on modern mathematics to shed light on cell state dynamics and development Peer-Reviewed Publication Kyushu University image: The left panel depicts a potential-like landscape, where white streamlines represent the inferred trajectory of cell states across time. Although single-cell RNA sequencing captures only static snapshots of cells, ddHodge reconstructs

Mammograms may reveal hidden heart risks for women, study finds

by Roberta Burkhart edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Andrew Zinin  Editors’ notes Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Routine mammograms are best known as a front-line tool for detecting breast cancer. But new research suggests the same X-ray images may also offer an early warning sign for cardiovascular disease—the leading cause of death among women. A study presented
